We bought this Samsung RS2545SH used a few weeks ago. The fridge began getting warmer than it should in the past week. I am getting quite confused on all the different tings it could be…so here is what I know.
Freezer works fine. We took back panel off and found a bit of ice drops here and there on motor and the evap thing below. but nothing at all to be alarmed about.
Fridge is getting warm
When we plug it in the first thing the display shows is a 3 - posibly an error code?
Please let me know what we should look at and/or order Thanks
Just do a search on "RS2545SH", and you’ll find threads that talk about this issue. Open up the one titled "[Samsung Refrigerator Heater Repair (RN’s site)](http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/refrigerator-freezer-repair/12775-refrigerator-side-not-cooling.html?highlight=RS2545SH"]Refrigerator side not cooling[/URL]", and you’ll find out what to look for, especially my reply that I posted there yesterday (4/18/2010). Even better is to download the service manual I gave the link for and print it out.
But my first question is: why didn’t you take off the panel inside the refrigerator? You have a dual-evaporator system, so there’s an evaporator on the refrigerator side, too. Forget what’s happening in the freezer, though it does prove that the compressor is working fine. You likely have icing on the evaporator in the refrigerator side, which is either due to the defrosting cycle not working (which will block all air flow once it fills with frost/ice) or the blower fan not blowing, which will keep the cold air from recirculating.
If this refrigerator worked when you first got it, I’m guessing a build up of ice and unfortunately, I’m also guessing that it is do to the defrost element no longer working. But it’s a great refrigerator and is work fixing it if you can do the work yourself. You don’t have to – and shouldn’t – cut any Freon-containing parts to fix what ends up being bad, but it will take some time, especially if you do what is described at [URL="http://sites.google.com/site/rnssite/samsung)
Good luck!
I have replaced several parts of my Whirlpool dryer in the last two days. I replaced the thermal fuse, both thermostats in the back, the drum belt, the support rollers and the pulley idler. My Whirlpool dryer was making a lot of noise. Now when my dryer runs perfectly except when I turn it of then try to start it again right afterward the dryer will not start. The dryer buzzes when I press the start button and it seems like the dryer must "cool down" before it will run again. Again, I did replace the thermal fuse as well as both of the thermostats. Any suggestions???
