Re: samsung water dispenser – doesnt!!!!
tbh my fridge temp has stayed constant, cos my fan is still running. you need to check that your fan isnt all clogged with ice, as its the fan that recircs the cold air round the fridge. im no expert by the way, but that would seem to be the logical thing to check first.
Re: Samsung RS21
i had that, its the fan in the frigdge, it goes off when the door is opened, and cuts back in when the door is shut(try pressing th light button on the door. mine was as a result of ice buildup near the fan due to a defrost fault. so i suspect you may have a fault on your fridge. i bet its 3 years old!!!!
Re: samsung water dispenser – doesnt!!!!
ok, i’ll try for the defrost heater first, if i need the cover, i’ll get it later from you as its not exactly cheap!!(well its all relative but you know what i mean) so how do i pay you? you want me to send a cheque? paypal or a debit card payment? let me know and i will get the money to you, and what about p+p?
thanks for your help over this bryan.Re: samsung water dispenser – doesnt!!!!
oh, and one final point, on switching the power baack on before re fitting the light assembly in the fridge, a single segment of the fridge temp led display was ilumingated. it was the r/h side upper half of the led nearest the fridge door. what does that indicate?
Re: samsung water dispenser – doesnt!!!!
right then, i defrosted the fridge on sunday, and all was fine again. i knew it would freeze the water tank again, but i wasnt sure how long it would last. however, this morning, friday, i found it had frozen again. on removing the cover, the coil was covered in ice to such a degree that there would have been little chance of air being able to pass over it when the fan was running. it was almost completely solid, especially the pipework to the top l/h side which was completely encased in ice, as the pics show.
though the icing was worse than it actually looks on the pics,
there was very little ice on the outside of the evaporator cover just a light icing over about 3 or 4 square inches near the middle. and the fan was running ok.
any ideas? would be appreciated im wondering how the cover would affect this, as even with a new cover it is still going to ice up the coil.Re: samsung water dispenser – doesnt!!!!
cheers bryan. ive got it ll back together now, and im going to run it overnight and take another look at it. ive been trawling the old posts and there does seem to be a very common thread through them all!!
going to let it freeze again and then with the info youve given me test the defrost sensor. whatever parts i need i will buy from you. thanks for the help. johnRe: samsung water dispenser – doesnt!!!!
ok, then. whats the problem with the cover ? it had ice on the outside of it, where the water tank sits, but, and forgive my ignorance of the refrigeration world here, how would that make the coil ice up? i would have thought that the defrost sensor being encased in ice was more indicative of an electrical problem with that part preventing the coil from defrosting itself, any chance you could give me an idiots guide as to why these parts fail and how theyre tested to prove failure? just so i can get a handle on how it all works.
on a slightly disconnected note. ive always liked my “big fridge” and have never heard of them being prone to any major faults. but reading through the first 10 or 15 pages of posts here, it seems that every other samsung has fallen over at some time or other. perhaps thats why it was cheap!!!!!!! 😀Re: samsung water dispenser – doesnt!!!!
25 years as a heating engineer, not being immodest but i’d like to think of myself as above average with regard to electrical competance, refrigeration and a/c is something im aiming to move in to in the next few years, but im only vaguely familiar with its working at the mo.
right ive removed the evaporator cover, defrosted the coil, there was a liberal amount of ice on it, but not enough to completely cover it. connections to the wiring on the coil were iced over too. water is now flowing once more, but my next trick is to keep it that way. fab forum by the way, amazing what info you can find online!!Re: samsung water dispenser – doesnt!!!!
eeeeek 😮 i was hoping you werent going to say that!! ok, where do we start then?
Re: Water supply for fridge – under floor?
never bury unprotected copper in a concrete floor. in fact any pipe sunk into a floor has to be accessible under the water byelaws. i wouldnt use copper, use a plastic pipe called hep2o made by hepworth, you can get it in 10mm 15 and 22, i would go for the 15 mm and put a valve and a reducer on it where it emerges, then pipe the filter and fridge from there.
