I have a Samsung RB2055SL The fridge is beeping 10 times intermittently about every two minutes. The upper fridge section is not working properly. The tempature remains now at 66F. The lower freezer section is working fine with a tempature of 8F. I checked the seals of the doors and they in very good shape. The refridgerator always beeped when the door was left open too long. I do not have the manual. All arts of the appliance are internal. I have the same problem....the bottom freezer is fine but th fridge keeps beeping like the door is open and its up to 66 degrees...whats up with that please help someone?
First, the Samsung Refrigerator is the only fridge that has one compressor, but two different evaporators to operate the freezer and the refrigerator separately. Thus, you can have the bottom freezer working fine, while the fridge part will not.
The reason your fridge is not working is probably a faulty door switch in the refrigerator. The switch is malfunctioning, telling the computer that the door is open. Therefore you hear the door alarm go off in intervals, even though the door is actually closed. If the computer registers an open door, it will not pump cool air into the refrigerator, as that would be a waste of energy. All you need to do is replace the door switch. Until you get a new one, you can temporarily fix your fridge by simply removing the old switch altogether. You will not have any light in the fridge, however, it will cool again just fine until you are able to install the new switch (a simple plug-in contraption, by the way).
Hope this helps.
Thanks!!!! We have been listening to that buzzer for 3 days!!! and the repair man didn't know how to fix ***!! Now we are all happy!
I am very happy that my solution saved so many people a lot of money. For the people who have have trouble finding a replacement switch, they are actually quite easy to find online without having to resort to eBay. I have provided two links to websites that sell the part (it is part #DA34-00006C, btw.). Simply copy and paste, if you can't click on the links.

I find it easiest to carefully pry the old switch loose using a butterknife (a flathead screwdriver will do the trick as well), and then simply unplug it.
Okay, so that wasn't supposed to be all jumbled up like that ... Lets see.

AWESOME! Thank you so much! This just occured about 30 minutes ago and its 11:00 at night. I'm thinking I'll have to put a full fridge of food into coolers and I don't have the $ for a new fridge. Great site!
Awesome! I just had the same problem 2 hours ago and was worried that our Easter was going to be ruined. I checked out the Samsung site to no avail. I am glad I come across this site as I found nothing on others. I used a butter knife and pulled the switch and presto!
Thanks so much!!!
Thank you astralia. Your info was spot on as was the sight to order a new switch. We are very grateful to you for posting this information and saving us time and money.
Thank you astralia. Your info was spot on, including the link to purchase a new switch. We are grateful to you for posting everything and saving us time and money.
Thank you so much; have a full refrigerator of food that I thought was gonna go bad and would have to be thrown out as well as paying a repairman. I'm soooo happy I found your solution and feeling really good about myself being able to make this repair (as simple as it was, hahaha) but I would have never known what to do without your help. You saved a retired woman a bundle, wish I could do something nice for you! God bless you and keep the good advise coming.
Great, on my way to saving money! Thank you very much, My fridge is now cooling and this part will be on the way soon
Thank you for your solution, saved me a ton of grief and money to have a service man come who would not have had a clue anyway! Again Thanks
Big thanks from Texas! Your solution was exactly right. I can't wait for the Samsung repair guy to call me so I can tell him to shove his $400 compressor where the sun don't shine! Thanks again.
Thanks so much!! I took the switch out and have a new one on order. My ears and my wallet thank you so much!!
I love the Internet you guys saved me, that beep was driving me insane! Thank you so much!
I hope the universe is paying you back with a wealth of riches for this $20 fix. Awesome. Thanks!!!

Astralia441, a big THANK YOU from me. This was EXACTLY the quick fix I was looking for. I found the doorswitch panel on the lower right of the fridge door frame and popped it off with a flathead screwdriver. I then unplugged the switch and presto, it worked! No lights, but the temperature started to drop again. You saved me BIG money - no weekend service call to make!!
Thank you!!! Our refrigerator started beeping on Christmas day right after dinner with the above symptoms. We went into panic mode and started moving all the food out to the garage. I decided to look for help online and found this solution. It was a huge lifesaver and helped save Christmas day! I have been meaning to post a note in gratitude! My husband popped off the door switch panel as suggested and our refrigerator started cooling quickly. I used the power cool button on the front of the door to help speed up the process. Happy holidays!

I asked about the beep beep beep and the fact the upper refridgerator section not working. I even called Samsung. They could offer no ideas. Then, I followed the suggestions offered by several people, remove the door closed push buttons, That was the solution. After 24 hours of beeping every 2 minutes I was going insane. I have my senses back and saved on what would have been a costly service call. Thank you. mikecleaver
Just saved me over $1,000. Was ready to buy a new refrigerator/freezer but found this site and found the exact solution to my problem. Removed the door close sensor and the temp has been falling ever since, and no more beeping. I ordered the new part..again shown how-to with a link...part is only $8.00!! Will keep this site in my "favorites".

I had the same problem with my Samsung RB2155SH refrigerator. I tried a few things (turn on/off, putting tape on the switch, etc.. ) but it kept beeping 10 times every minute ! I removed the switch per your suggestions. Very easy to do with a flat knife. And the temperature of the fridge goes back down to the usual temp. All is well. Thank you !!!
It is 2020 and bless you because I was going to rip my hair out LOL
Thanks for this! Totally worked! Anyone know where I can find a new door switch now that I have removed the faulty one? Sears does not have it for our model. Thank you!
You can order one for a fairly cheap price online and just install by plugging it in. Try these two websites:

Same problem..... as soon as I popped off the door switch panel and unplugged the door switch I heard the frig fan turn on and the light turned off. Within 5 minutes the temp started to drop.
So thankful for sites like these !
Astralia441, thank you so much for your help!
Their is no beeping noise to indicate the ref. door is open.the frig is 64 and the freezeris working fine
Same problem, and i thought i was going to spend a lot for repair or a new ref, until i read these posts about the door switch...thank youuuuuu, saved me big!
We came back home last night from Holiday shopping and the same problem with beeping and top part not working. Big stress since we are leaving home in 2 days. Thank you so much for posting a solution. I removed the switch, and will order new one from EBay (they are hard to find). Happy Holidays!
That was DIY amazing. Beeping stopped, fridge is cooling, part is ordered, all is well. Thanks so much!

You are the man! I spent a week asking everyone around me to please help me repair my refrigerator! Everyone took a stab at it but with no luck. Imagine a week of beep, beep, beep! I gave up bothering everyone, bought a new refrigerator, moved the beeping old one into the garage... got on the computer... accidentally found your solution.... and two minutes later the refrig was working perfect again ....no more beeping and the temperature is now spot on! I needed a second working frig anyway! Now I have two working refrigerators! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
A solution was offered to remove the door closed button. Can anyone offer any directions or tips on how to do that? I don't want to break anthing!
