Re: Samsung SR-L3626B Keeps switching off!

All sorted now, It was a build up of metallic whiskers around the power switch so the unit thought it was being turned off and on as the switch was shorted! Took a long time to find!!

Re: Samsung SR-L3626B Keeps switching off!

I changed the defrost heater but the fridge/freezer stil switches itself off and on all day! Anyone got any ideas what else I can try? Would the evaporator temp sensor cause this fault? Thanks Carl.

Re: Samsung SR-L3626B Keeps switching off!

Ok I have checked the defrost heater for continuity and there is none so this must be my problem.

Thanks for your help.

Carl.

Re: Samsung SR-L3626B Keeps switching off!

No I have not checked the defrost heater could this cause the appliance to switch itself off? How should it be tested? resistance or continuity?

Many thanks Carl.

Can anybody help with this one? I have ordered a new sensor but have no idea if it’s that or something else 🙁

Re: Samsung SR-L3626B fault code RD?

I have taken of the plastic backing from the freezer and saw the damper rotating when i turned the fridge freezer on but after 4 seconds i hear a click from the top of the fridge and everything shuts down with the rd error? The damper and motor must be fine for it to spin so perhaps a sensor?
Also the was no ice present at all.

Re: Samsung SR-L3626B fault code RD?

Ok I have done a little searching and as far as i can tell the damper blows cold air from the freezer to the fridge so the damper must be behind my freezer compartment? Is there any checks i should do to know what may have actually packed up?

Thanks in advance Carl.

Thanks for the quick reply Bob, Please can you explain what the damper/baffle is? I’m wanting to do the repair myself but don’t know where to start or where to get the parts for my appliance?

Thanks Carl.
