Re: Samsung SR-S2028DVW Freezer and fridge temp issues
Hi
So I installed the part on Friday – it started to get to where it’s supposed to over the weekend. Had my -16 and 2 degrees then last night noticed the -16 was flashing.Turned it off then on again with 10 second pause to reset the circuit and the fidge side displayed a 3 (error code) and the freezer side displayed nothing then it went on to display an actual temperature of 1 for freezer and 2 for fridge.
This morning there was a pool of dirty water by the front right of the unit on the floor.
At my wits end now. Looked up the 3 error and it says it’s a problem with the defrost circuit. Am I chasing a red herring here?

I’ve ordered the part – will report back once arrived and installed

Hi R600a
I’ve seen some of your posts on other forums. Yuo’ve got history with this unit then!
I’ll certainly take your advice
It’s been three days since I pulled her open and melted the ice and tested bits. Fridge still at 7 degrees and freezer at 1.
I’m trying to uiunderstand how the defrost sensor or heating packing in will have an impact on the fridge on these twin cool models – I’m afraid I don’t understand the system clearly enough and have been advised elsewhere to do this
“Remove the screws on the outside rear panel. This exposes the Compressor, condenser coil and condenser fan. Is the compressor hot and is the fan running?
Look for a black box that isn’t attached to the compressor but has a single cable going to your compressor.”What is the purpose of this test?
I put faith in the expertise of the fellows on these forums but I’m an IT systems Engineer and that part of me wants to understand and would love to understand why these parts need checking.
It seems the consensus is that it’s not the defrost heater – I assume the resistance reading was all good.
What does the defrost sensor look like – bottom plug of those three clustered on the top right – replace with newer edition? I’ll go looking for that then.

Just found out that the drain bit has a heater and that is the connection that is connected in-line with the defrost heater so I revert to asking – is replacement of the defrost heater on this model something I can do?
I didn;t pull the whole assy out because I was worried that those copper bits on the top right were gassed and breaking them would ruin it – how does one get to the defrost heater to replace?
Will dismantle again tonight anyway and look at ice build up.
