Clarence May 18, 2013 for Model Number Samsung RS264ABWP My Samsung RS264ABWP refrigerator stopped cooling properly because coils keeps freezing and I have to thaw them out with a hair dryer. I need to know if it's a sensor or a actual heater that needs to be replaced? I hear about this problem a lot online so hopefully someone knows a common part that needs replacing.
1 Answer Clarence, In most cases the sensor is the most common failure. You would want to test the sensor and check the sensor visually to make sure that it is not broken or damaged. Read More...
Michele May 14, 2013 for Model Number RB195ACWP A few days ago our refrigerator started making a humming noise.. And noticed some ice build up.. Would like to know the cause... Thank you
1 Answer Michelle, It sounds like you may have some type of defrost failure. You will want to pull the rear cover of the section where you are seeing ice build up and check to make sure that the evaporator is not impacted with ice. If it is then you will need to check the defrost sensors and heater to ensure them being good. If they are bad then replace them. If they are good then you w ill need to replace the control board.

Quincy April 29, 2013 for Model Number rb1944sl Hello, I have replaced the main control board, both temperature sensors in the freezer and I'm having the same issue. The unit will get to the proper temp an will not start back up without being unplugged and plugged back in. We notice that there was ice on the coils in he freezer ad had to use a hair dryer to thaw the ice. It will run fine until the ice forms again! What could this be? Thank You in advance for your help.
1 Answer Hello Quincy. It sounds like you may have a defrost problem with the unit. Check and see if there is any frost build up on the back wall of the freezer. If so, you will need to test the defrost heater and the defrost thermostat. They should read closed for continuity when cold. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. I will include a link at the end to assist you how to use the multi-meter if needed. If both parts are good, you will need to replace the defrost timer. Once the problem is repaired, you will need to thaw out the ice on the coils before the unit will operate properly. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Home Repairman March 24, 2013 for Model Number Samsung Refrigertaor RS269LARS How come the evaporator fan motor is encapsulated with some RTV material inside the motor case and what is that RV material?

Laurel October 20, 2012 for Model Number RS2530BBP I was told that I needed to replace the temp sensor in my fridge. Samsung model # rs2530bbp, part # da32-00006w. I'd like either a detailed instruction or better an illustration
1 Answer Hi. You will need to remove the shelves and the back wall screws to access the sensor part # DA32-10105R. Make sure the back wall does not have frost on it. If so then you will need to defrost it with a hair dryer carefully not to melt the cabinet, but to get the wall off. Use towels to catch the water. It is located beside the lower evaporator coils on the rt. There is another sensor there as well you need to change. It is a defrost sensor part # DA47-00095E that controls the defrost heater temperatures in the defrost cycle. Thank You. Read More...
