Re: Samsung RSH5UBBP defrost problem
Yeah,
Looks like a very similar design to the earlier models, but it has run fine for the last 3 years, so something has failed or not working right any more, question is, is it the fan that is not rotating properly (don’t believe so as once defrosted fridge stays cool and you can feel the air being moved around by the fan).
For my money has to be a faulty defrost heater circuit, either the heater or the sensor / PCB that runs the heater has failed, so ice builds up and blocks the passage of air over the cooling fins, then causes the pipes to the water dispenser to freeze and eventually it stops the fan, and the fridge stops cooling.
Trying to figure out which part to replace is tricky !
I have an engineer coming out next Monday to look at it, but hoping to understand what parts etc.. Are required to fix it so I can be prepared for the repair bill, I will be pursuing the retailer whom I brought the fridge from to cover the cost of repair under the sale if goods act, but that’s a story for another day 🙂
