Re: Samsung RL41WGTB stops after few hours, requires power c

Update: It seems that the overload (attached to the relay) is kicking in. I’ve noticed that when the compressor is still very hot, there is nothing moving inside, also the exit pipe isn’t hot.

Hopefully someone will find this post useful 🙂

Time for a new fridge/freezer!!

My compressor is a MD4A1Q-L1U2-E02

Where can I find Samsung’s technical bulletins? Had a Google, can’t find much 🙁

the display shows the last held temperature. Also as there is a technical bulletin by samsung concerning the compressor fault and is known by samsung contact them to get ir replaced F.O.C.

The original compressors used was MD4A1QL1U/E01 and then changed to MD4A1QL1U/E02 and in 2011 they started to use MD4A1Q1U/E03.

Thanks very much for your help 😀

If its having to be left switched off for a while then it may be a faulty compressor which was fitted to this range about the age of yours. It would stop cooling but restart also if switched off and on again. This took ages and numerous wasted called to eventually find out. But I would be more prone to recheck the defrost side. The compressor will read correctly and will work once it cools down.

Thanks for the quick reply, Bryan.

Yes it does seem like it needs to be turned off to allow the compressor to cool down. The compressor gets very hot (a little bit too hot to touch for more than a second or 2).

I’m puzzled as to why the LCD display still says the fridge + freezer are cooling away nicely at +4 and -18, but the real temperature is +21 in both.
