You would need to test it but I suspect that the clock is kaput and if required, it’s this one:

Can you give me the ART and serial number from it?
What those are and where to find them you can read up on here:

It’s possible it’s a hidden evap in the rear wall but if so, you’ve probably got a sensor or refrigerant system problem. Either way, it’s not a DIY thing if it can be repaired at all as the sensor looks to be a foamed in one and not available as a part.

It’s got a single evaporator in the freezer so, somehow it draws air from the freezer to cool the fridge and therefore, it has a duct of some sort, somehow.
If the fans are running okay and the target temp range is being achieved then you’ve basically got two choices, it’s a blockage in that air channel or, it’s a sensor issue.

I really have no idea what’s going on with DASA.
Steve will likely be at the Whitegoods Conference in Feb if you want to pop along Dave, you could ask? Steve’s a decent enough chap, he’ll tell you.

What can one say…
K.
The element in it is:

It won’t harm it to use it on conventional only but if that goes for any reason you will be stuck.

Tripping can be caused by almost anything, as explained here:
But from what you say my best guess would be the fan element, then the fan motor, then the switch. From what you say I’d reckon it’d almost for sure be the element though but I’d need to know the model to tell you what one was in it.

Oh, you can still get some parts but you’re probably calling (or getting through) to a call centre, quite possibly a warranty company so they’ll send someone out and charge you, happily. Doesn’t mean they’ll fix it.
In Samsungland though that machine is ancient history. Positively prehistoric in their eyes.
Even the gas, R132a is no longer used, hasn’t been for years in domestic refrigeration so you need an F Gas certification to use it now.
No details of the charge volume are given, not terribly unusual.
But from what you’ve said and, assuming the charge is correct it does sound like a weak compressor which, given the age of it would come as no surprise.
