SOURCE: Samsung Fridge Freezer (Freezer on top)Model SR-52NXA wont cool

Depends a bit on whether the compressor really is running, or if it's just humming because it's got power on the run coil, but not on the start coil.

Have a careful listen to the compressor. If it's making the trilling or gurgling sounds that go with a working compressor, then your problem is probably one of lost gas. Fixing this is not a do-it-yourself job.

If the compressor sounds like it's stalled, the problem may lie with the starter. Replacements are usually cheap enough for it to be worth fitting a new one just to see if it works.

sounds like a defrost problem. check to see if there is any frost buildup in the back wall of the freezer. if so, it is not defrosting like it should.

  • possible causes:
  1. bad defrost timer
  2. bad defrost heater (in freezer)
  3. bad thermo switch in freezer

SOURCE: samsung rs2533sw fridge not cooling

it sounds like the refrigerator evap is frozen up causing the compartment to get too hot. shut the unit off and let it thaw out. then take the screws out of the cover to check the stryrofoam on the back side of the cover to see if theres broken spots on it causing the air to bypass the evap causing it to freeze. Theres two screws behind the light cover and two at the very bottom of the cover and two behind the decorative plugs about 1/2 way

SOURCE: my fridge thermostat not working after being repaired

1) the gas in the refrigerator never has to be refilled, it is a sealed system. some one ripped you off. 2)if the thermostat is bad they are easy to replace. take the model # and bring it to your local parts house. sears now repairs all brands so if you have no parts house go to sears repair center. 3)you say the thermostat doesn't shut off. does the milk or soda in the refrigerator section freeze? get a food thermometer and leave it in a glass of water check the temp. of the water after an hour or two it should read 37- 42 degrees.if it is colder than that what setting is the thermometer set at, it should be on the energy efficient setting or the middle of the range.. if after all these minor checks, make sure your doors are closing properly and the light is going off. you may have a door adjustment problem. if allthese tests are ok then get a new thermostat, but remember all parts are not returnable so make sure you get the part you need. self help books are available at your local library check one out!

SOURCE: Samsung RB1855SW won't stop beeping and fridge malfunctioning

Thanks so much for the advice. I just gently pried the door sensor switch on my Samsung RB1855SL out with a butter knife and then pulled out the electrical connection and it fired up right away. It looks like some orange juice seeped in and corroded it. What a relief to have the fridge working again, not to mention to not have to listen to the beeping.

Refrig won't cool on either freezer or refrig side. Confirmed manual settings & allowed 24 hrs for cooling. Is there a reset switch somewhere other than manual switches inside refrig?

check that the compressor is working by feeling for motor vibrations at the compressor, hot compressor unit or hot fins or back wall of the fridge
if there is not heat then the compressor is not working
call a technician as it could be a start/run capacitor failed or compressor seized
get a quote as some compressor replacements cost as much as a new fridge
check that the utility power is getting to the fridge/freezer

Fridge not freezing nor cooling

Hi Carol basically Fridge/Freezzers work on the principle of compressed Gas and Pressure, and other things inbetween so first of all check the thermostat settings to see what setting they are on and if all looks well then check to see if the compressor which is usually at the back of the fridge, comes on when power is applied, this usually involves abit of hard work moving the fridge into a position to see the compressor, the compressor should start up straight away if it doesn't come on at all then you will have to consider calling in a refridge technician to repair the compressor or pressure switch. Let me know how you go.

Compressor working fridge is not

Not a 5 min. explanation, but in short, if the compressor and fan are both running, question is, Is the freezer cold but not the fridge? If so, defrost properly for approx. 12 hours to remove all ice then restart. If not, one of 2 options remain, there is either a Blockage in the system, or there is a leak in the system. Either way, you need to call a service technician. Truthfully, if diagnosed with a leak, i suggest you replace the fridge as these leaks do not get repaired properly especially if it is internal and good money will get wasted. Hope i helped.

Fridge repairs

Make sure the condenser is clean and clear before calling anyone out. If it is clean and all else is working (fans etc.), it sounds like a shortage of gas or compressor not pumping well. In either case it may be cheaper to get a new one.

Whirlpool refrigerator

When you switch on the fridge, do you hear the sound of compressor working OR when you touch the fridge there is little vibration. If not then the power is not properly connected. Check the power supply cord and ensure that wires are connected properly. Also check the power outlet in the wall. If above is OK then you have to get the gas checked up. There may not be sufficient gas. If the gas is OK then the condenser/compressor is not functioning for that you have to call a technician from the technician from the service center.

Freezer working, fridge not working .hotpoint

Hello Sir, I think we need some more info about what section of the Fridge is not working. Let me assume that the Problem is that the Fridge is not cooling ( as you raised that point that the Freezer is working. If that is the problem, then there are 2 things that can be Faulty:-------
  • The compressor is bad or not working. In this case you need a new compressor or repair if the fault is repairable.
  • The Thermostat is bad or not working. In this case, call a Technician of the associated brand. They will repair or replace as needed.
Another thing, if the Fridge is fully not working, then the fault is in the capacitors or the Main Control Board. Kindly call a technician for the steps needed to rectify the issue.
Thank you Sir, Have a nice day.

Kenmore Fridge 4 yrs old side by side model not cooling

Hi. Your refrigerator is under 5 years and the compressor is still under full warranty. Call Sears and get it fixed parts and labor included. There should be no charge to you whatsoever. Make sure they understand that on the phone when you set up the appointment. You would be better off having a different technician from Sears come out to your house, as the one that came was not honest with you. Good luck, Mack
