Re: Another Samsung Cold Freezer Warm Fridge Problem
utter garbage, it still has a thermal fuse!!!!!!!!!! and if you read it properly it is sealled.
Re: Another Samsung Cold Freezer Warm Fridge Problem
My moded thermal fuse has been in for just over 2 weeks now, everything working fine so far. If anyone wants to try the same, I got the fuse from RS, part No.176-9081. it costs about £2.50 ,rated at 9amp and it resets on fall in temperature. In essence it works just like a thermostat so if it sees a temperature in excess of 45 degc, it will switch off and then back on again once it has dropped to 35 or so. Just remove the old unit from the fridge, cut off the foam and the see through plastic capsule. Open up the two crimps olding the old unit in place. Crimp on the new unit and cover/reseal with heat shrink tube- reseal the ends with silicone. Job done, why on earth Samsung didn’t do that in the first place -other than to make money out of spares !!
Re: Another Samsung Cold Freezer Warm Fridge Problem
Well when I removed the old one, it was wrapped in a foam sleeve which was cable tied to the de-icing heater. I managed to compress the sleeve enough to remove it without cutting the tie. The replacement went back in the same place which is why I’m a little lost as to why it has failled. if I replace it with a self resetting thermal fuse ,(RS do one that works at 45 degc, does anyone know what temperature it should be?) , surely that will work OK.
confused!!! 😕
Re: Another Samsung Cold Freezer Warm Fridge Problem
I’ve had all of these problems mentioned, and after basically learning from scratch what all of the parts were and did, found that the thermal fuse had failed. Now I’ve changed that, it worked fine for 6 weeks now its gone again. What is going on? i’m seriously considering moding the thermal fuse assembly and fitting a self resetting fuse in its place as this is a pain in the ar*e
