Re: New Kitchen, New Fridge / Freezer
I would take a look at the Beko range to see if there is an alternative.
Beko are more reliable now and spares are cheaper than most makes.

Re: Samsung RS21 fridge and freezer failure. Fix kit fitted
The good thing with Samsung is the parts are one of the most ready available out of all the manufacturers.
So any problems can have a quick remedy.

Re: Samsung RS21 fridge and freezer failure. Fix kit fitted
Dawoo or Beko are more reliable than the newer Samsung but it is down to personal choice.
It does not matter how much you pay for an Amrican fridge freezer it is the luck of the draw as to how long they last.
You could get 12 years no problem or 12 months that is the trouble with mass production today.

Re: Samsung RS21 fridge and freezer failure. Fix kit fitted
It would cost more than £100 to repair so is BER you could strip some of the parts and sell on E Bay, or try selling it complete for spares on E Bay worth a try, or just ask the council to collect they charge a small charge for 2 items.

Re: Samsung f/f not cooling
Then it is more than likely it is the inverter PCB or compressor relay but it has a fault code LED on the inverter PCB.
You would need an engineer to test it but it should be worth repairing as it would be a lot cheaper than a compressor.

Re: Party Cooler (pics)
Like you say Ken a long shot but it should do the job as it is the same size and a fridge stat.
This would be easier to fit than a VT9 as it would be more like a direct replacement.
BobRe: Party Cooler (pics)
This is just a cheep Chinese thermostat.
You should be able to fit a universal fridge thermostat VT9 it looks like you should have enough room.
If not then you will just have to use a fridge stat of the same Chinese make that are fitted to some Lec or Currys own brand fridges.

Re: Samsung f/f not cooling
You have to dismantle parts to get at the PCB so not a DIY repair.
If the compressor is hot to touch then it is most likely the compressor not a DIY repair.

Re: Samsung f/f not cooling
On your model you have an inverter compressor.
It sounds like the compressor is faulty.
On most inverter compressors samsung give a 10year warranty
If it is covered then it should be replaced free of charge.The other fault could be the inverter
PCB this would not be covered.An engineer should be able to check as the inverter pcb has a neon on it that will flash a fault code.
If it is not covered by a 10 year warranty then I would get a local fridge engineer with Samsung experience.

Re: Samsung RS21 fridge and freezer failure. Fix kit fitted
It sounds like you may have a compressor or refrigerant problem.
Take off the panel on the rear outside of the fridge / freezer so you can see the compressor.
Check to see if the compressor is running.
If the condensor / compressor fan is working and the compressor is hot to touch then it is most likely the compressor or low on refrigerant / possible leak not a DIY or cheap repair if Compressor or gas.
If the compressor is cold and not running then the electronics / defrost system or sensors need testing or the compressor relay may be faulty.

Re: Daewoo american fridge freezer not freezing ice
Most common fault on the Dawoo and Bosch / Siemans are made by Daewoo.
Connect have a cheaper alternative exactly the same motor for about half price of the Dawoo fan and 1/8th the price of the Bosch.Bob
Re: APM6855 Fridge Freezer not working
Most things can be repaired on an APM 6855 it is a case of as it is ten years old is it worth putting the money it would cost to repair towards a new fridge freezer.

Re: Diplomat (Servis) fridge freezer issues.
Check in the freezer to see if it is frosting up.
It is the no frost sensor or fan faulty as it is rare for any other problem on this model.
If is not iced up or just has frost build up near the top of the freezer evaporator then it is most like an intermitant fan fault.
You can use a universal connect fan motor FRG5205 and just join to the existing wires as it is a lot cheaper than an original fan.
The fans sometimes find it hard to start when cold and then work after a jolt. Closing the door hard sometimes gets it working again.
You will not get that problem with a universal fan.
To test the fan use a magnet near the sensor just below the display on the fridge and you can put your hand near the vents at the back to see if you can feel the air flow if the fan kicks in.
In the freezer the sensor is on the right near the middle basket.If no air flow and the fan is working it may be the vent at the bottom right behind the panel in the freezer iced up as the drain can sometimes ice up.
If the drain is icing up defrost it and fit a wire around the heater into the drain a piece of old thermostat capillary is good for this.

Re: Old R12 Canisters
BOC would take them but would charge you as it is no longer legal to use.
The veteran car clubs like to have concourse cars that are original and if a car has air conditioning running on R12 and filled with R12 they get extra points.
If it is just empty canisters they may also want them to display.
Just saying as R12 would be worth a fortune to them not that anyone would top up there cars illegally. And must have old systems that never leak. 😮
