REDO Prevention Tips Samsung Electronics is currently focusing on reducing our repeat repairs (Redo). We have prepared the following tips for all of our Service Centers to follow so that we can improve our overall service to our mutual customers. 1. The technician should always talk directly to the customer before each call. Many techs get their idea of what’s wrong via 2nd hand conversation, bring the wrong parts and put it in figuring doing something is better than nothing. This is a bad practice. 2.

Refrigeration Troubleshooting • The Diagnostic Mode is the most valuable troubleshooting tool you have for troubleshooting a refrigerator. When you are at the product this is the first test you should do. • When a Samsung refrigerator is powered up if performs a Self Diagnosis, if an open or shorted sensor is detected it will lock the display and flash the code in the display. The refrigerator may have no operation, or operate in the emergency mode.
Refrigeration Troubleshooting • To enter the manual Diagnostic Mode you must press and hold two buttons, and hold them until the display stops blinking and beeps. • Fault code display for all models that have temperature numbers in the display: – Each 8 is made up of 7 segments, each of those segments is a possible fault code. • If there are no faults, the display will be blank or have all four (8888) showing. • On single evaporator units, no number display, lines or symbols will light up for faults.
Refrigeration Troubleshooting • A Sample fault code would be this is an example of an Ice Maker Sensor failure. • Things that can happen with this fault. • After a power failure the unit would be “dead”, lights work and blinking this code. • The Ice Maker is not making any ice • The Ice Maker is dumping partially frozen cubes • If you see the fault below, ignore it. This is a modem communication error not applicable in the US.
Self Diagnostics Press both buttons simultaneously for 8 seconds If a corresponding LED flickers, it means an abnormality of a sensor or component.
Self Diagnosis Hold Buttons until display stops blinking and beeps, then release and read fault codes.

Testing Defrost Circuits Access the main PCB for voltage/resistance testing – – – – With the compressor running test the sensors Enter Forced Mode Defrost Measure the heater voltage Remove the power and heater connector and check the heater circuit resistance • Defrost Sensor – The sensor shuts off heater At 50 in Freezer, 63 in Fridge – If the sensor is bad it may shut off the defrost circuit in a few minutes or not start, causing ice build-up, or it could lock up in defrost mode and become a total no co
Defrosting Troubleshooting Part 1 • Defrost Sensors – Testing: Check the DC voltage across both evaporator defrost sensors, with the compressor running. They should read less than a tenth of a volt difference, as they are both on the same refrigerant line. They usually read ~ 3.7VDC, after the compressor has been running for about 10 minutes. You may find one reading about 30 to 50 degrees off (lower VDC - higher temp), if so replace it. • Alternate Sensor Testing Make ice slurry.
Defrosting Troubleshooting Part 2 Enter the Forced Mode per instructions • Check heater circuit amperage at the Main PCB or A/C line; look for ~1.2 amps for the Fridge and ~2.2 amps for the freezer or 3.4 amps total. NOTE: If compartment is warm, you only have about 90 seconds to test. • Freezer - Check service manual for connector and wire color code for the model being serviced. • Fridge - Check service manual for connector and wire color code for the model being serviced.
Defrosting Troubleshooting Part 3 Enter the Forced Mode per instructions • Check the heater circuit voltage at the Main PCB; should be 120VAC for Freezer and Fridge. NOTE: If compartment is warm, you only have about 90 seconds to test. Listen for the relay closing then check the heaters. • Freezer Defrost Heater - Check service manual for connector and wire color code for the model being serviced. • Fridge Defrost Heater - Check service manual for connector and wire color code for the model being serviced.
Defrosting Troubleshooting Part 4 Heater circuit resistance - Unplug the refrigerator. Remove the defrost heater connector from PCB. • Freezer - Check heater circuit resistance at the Main PCB, look for 35–50 Ω average. • Fridge - Check heater circuit resistance at the Main PCB, look for 60-95 Ω average. • Freezer & Fridge - If resistance is around 2600 Ω, ThermoFuse (Bi-metal) is good, Defrost heater is open.
Defrosting Troubleshooting Example of a 2600 Ω heater 51
Defrost Error Symptoms NOTE: Evaporator covers may break if removed while frozen as they are plastic, replace if damaged. • Ice build up in either the freezer or refrigerator compartment can be caused by a blocked drain. It is possible that the drain is not being defrosted by the heaters enough to properly clear the drain and pass the melted water into the catch pan. • Noise from the refrigerator/freezer fan or weak cooling. Noise disappears when the customer opens door.
Defrosting Error Causes • The heat from the defrost heater does not transfer to the evaporator drain • The Styrofoam around the evaporator cover absorbs moisture and frost begins to form on the evaporator, defective evaporator cover. • During the defrost cycle, the frost melts and drips down to the drain where it becomes frozen again. • Ice blockage in the drain grows larger with every defrost cycle.
Defrost Circuit Modification • Metal clips “A” and “C” can be placed on both the evaporator cover and the evaporator. The metal clips will touch and transfer heat more efficiently from the defrost heaters to the drain preventing ice build up.

Chapter 4 Common Refrigerator Service Issues 57
No Ice - Flex Tray I/M • • • • • For the ice maker to operate properly, water pressure between 20 and 125 PSI is required. A quick test of water pressure would be filling a 6 Oz paper cup in less than 10 seconds. If the internal water filter is clogged, the water pressure to the icemaker will be reduced. The foreign matter at the water supply valve near the icemaker can also reduce the water pressure. Additionally, low water pressure at the fill tube can be caused by a defective fill tube heater.
Slow Ice - Flex Tray I/M • • • • This problem is usually caused by a defective sensor or low water pressure. The I/M sensor will delay the time by adding extra fills if the water pressure is low. Also check the operation of the freezer, if the freezer temperature is above 1.5 , ice production will be delayed. This can also be caused by a problem with the freezer air vent, make sure the air duct near the ice maker is not restricted.
Shattered Ice Cubes - Flex Tray I/M • • • • • • When all ice shatters it's because of a bad tray or harvesting at a temp that is too cold (lower than 1.5 ), in some areas hard water issues that can also cause shattered cubes. The temp in the freezer should not have any effect on this issue, as long as it’s below 1.5 , as a properly installed sensor will not read the freezer temp, only the water/ice temp. Check the Ice tray for defects in the plastic.
Service ConcernsHeat Release I/M • • • • Troubleshooting Observations Is there any frost in the freezer compartment? Excessive frost on the evaporator coil will either coat the coil enough to warm the air to 32 to supply the ice room or block the air duct completely to the ice room.
Service Concerns – Heat Release I/M • Is the Ice Bucket locked firmly in position? • Try to move the bucket, when locked in place, any movement would mean that one of the locks is not latched. This will cause warm fridge air to enter the ice room and stop ice production.
Heat Release Ice Maker - Troubleshooting • Voltage tests • The Ice Room Sensor voltage should match the actual ice room temperature; refer to the sensor voltage/ temperature chart in the service manual. • The Freezer Sensor voltage should match the freezer temperature and also be close to the actual ice room temperature, refer to the sensor voltage/ temperature chart in the service manual. If the bucket is full the Ice Room temperature should be around 24 .
Heat Release Ice Maker - Troubleshooting • The Freezer Defrost Sensor Voltage should be 0 to -17 , with the compressor running, to show no frost/ice buildup and good operating system, refer to the sensor voltage/temperature chart in the service manual. • The Ejecting Thermistor should not measure below 17 , unless the bucket is full, as it should harvest at 18 . If Ejecting Thermistor measures actual ice room temperature, and the bucket is not full, it would mean that the I/M is not harvesting.
Heat Release Ice Maker - Troubleshooting • If any of the sensors measure incorrectly replace the defective sensor • The Ice Room Fan should read around 7 to 9 VDC when it is running. Be sure to defeat the door open switch when testing the fans. You can force the fan to turn on by putting the unit into the Forced Freeze mode.

Chapter 5 Refrigerator Installation and Door Removal For additional installation details see the accompanying 2008 Installation DVD 72
Water Connection 1 2 - Insert the plastic water pipe hose to the existing water source and fix it with compression hardware. If there is no existing icemaker water line consult a licensed plumber. Connect Water Pipe Hose - Check if there is any water leakage at the connection areas and if the hose is being kinked. When there is water leaking, try connecting again. Secure the Water Pipe Tube - With a C/F clip, fix the water pipe hose to the refrigerator wall.
Refrigerator Filter Housing Damage Always use the original Samsung filter when replacement is required at the six month interval. When aftermarket filters are used, there is the possibility that the filter will leak causing the water to freeze if the refrigerator temperature is set too low. When the water freezes there is the possibility that the filter housing will crack and start flowing water into the refrigerator compartment. When this happens the housing must be replaced.
