Re: Samsung RL33SB Noisy then stopped working
I ran the compressor off a test cord with the overload protection disconnected. I could try changing the relay but from what I’ve read elsewhere it is likely to be a compressor fault. http://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/modules.p … lay+click*
I’d still like the opinion of someone experienced though. I’ve just being following step by step instructions from websites. I don’t actually know anything. Thanks 😀
Re: Samsung RL33SB Noisy then stopped working
I’ve found out a little more information. When I switch the fridge freezer on there is a loud click followed by a faint hum coming from the compressor. Then just a few seconds later there is another loud click and the hum stops. This keeps happening over and over if I leave the fridge on. Its click then compressor hum for a fewseconds then click and no hum then click then hum and so on over and over.
I managed to follow instructions on a web page to test the compressor overload protector and it seems to be fine (0 ohms). I also tested the compressor motor which again showed 0 ohms. Between two the left and right terminals and the common terminal I got readings of 15 and 16 whatever that means. I’m a complete novice though and my multimeter is a cheap one so may not be reliable.
The compressor relay is solid state so I couldn’t test it.
I don’t know what the original noise was but maybe it was the fan hitting ice (hopefully and nothing more serious).
When somebody gets a moment I would be very grateful for some advice as to the most likely cause based on your experience. Thank you.

I found this webpage that helps people that know nothing like myself.

Any advice from a professional would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
