Re: the end of refrigerant gas ?
I wonder if the fridge will sound like a washing machine like in the clip.

Re: samsung srs 2025cvw
You have a line tap valve fitted on this one the silver valve in the service pipe to the compressor.
So this shows it has been regased at some point.
The ice build up at the back shows it is overcharged with refrigerant.
This is made worse by having to unplug it to reset as the defrost system will not be working correctly.
Once the defrost fault is sorted if it is still iceing up then you will need some of the refrigerant taken out.

Re: Smeg Fab 32 fridge freezer
Sometimes you can clear a blockage but in most cases it will not clear.
If you had the compressor changed then the old compressor may have pumped oil around the system.
This type of blockage is terminal.

Re: BEKO ca 5410w Fridge Freezer
If you have bypassed the thermostat and the compressor only runs for a short time then the compressor is cutting out on the thermal overload and you will need a new compressor.

Re: Smeg Fab32 Fridge Not Working
If the unit works with the fast freeze on then it is most likely the thermostat needs replacing.
If the compressor runs but it does not freeze then it is a loss of refrigerant or compressor fault.

Re: samsung RS21 strange problem
Most likely the control buttons sticking on the display panel.
They sometimes stick and press against the buttons on the display PCB.
Lubricate the buttons with silicone spray.

The thermostat is easy to replace, you are getting confused with the electronic controlled models with a foamed in sensor.
The thermostat phial just pushes down the small tube just make sure it goes all the way down the tube.
Mark the old one before you pull it out.
Then Just mark it the same length as the old one and make sure it feeds in all the way to the mark.

Re: Samsung RSH1NBRS fridge icing up
It has to be set using the display PCB.
It depends on the heater fitted if you replace the heater with the same as on the fridge then you will not need to reset the defrost time.

Re: Samsung American Fridge/Freezer, fridge not cooling.
No way to speed it up without a steamer and dismantling it.
Not a DIY job.
The only way is to turn it off for 48 hours with the doors open.
This will only solve the problem on a temporary basis as you will need to solve the problem of iceing up.
May need a new rear panel in the fridge.

Re: Samsung American Fridge/Freezer, fridge not cooling.
You will need to leave it turned off for 48 hours with the doors open to defrost it fully.
It will be a problem with the defrost system.
It may need a new back panel or have a problem with the heater.
If you use the search on this site for your model you will find lots of advice.
Or you can just put Samsung RSH1 faulty in Google search you will find lots of information.

Re: LG GR232-SBD Fridge Freezer condensation & ice
A few problems can cause this but because of its age it is better to spend the money on a new one.
The most likely faults it would be are
1 Low on refrigerant.
2 The compressor is not pumping correctly ( worn out needs replacing )
3 A blockage in the fridge evaporator
4 The insulation is failing
All would be beyond economical repair on a 2001 fridge freezer

Re: Ranco K59 Thermostat?
Most universal thermostats will not fit a LEC as the numbers on the dial will not line up.
Bob
Re: frosty fridge help!
The fault will be low on refrigerant or the compressor is not pumping correctly.
If it is a small larder fridge or an older fridge it will be cheaper to buy a new one.

Re: Samsung RSH1NBRS fridge icing up
Evaporator covers last about 3 years before needing replacement so replace the cover.
You can get a replacement longer sensor but the old one just reaches and needs to be on the left hand side.
There are a few different heater shapes fitted to this model.
If you have just the L shape heater then it is best to change it to the newer shape but you also need to reprogram the defrost time if you change to a different heater.
If you have the L shape heater you need to check behind the evaporator to make sure it has not burnt through the liner of the fridge, if it has you need to fit a stick on aluminium shield to repair it.
