Samsung RS267LABP not cooling on both fridge and freezer sides.

Most refrigerators get their cooling from the freezer. I suggest that you give it some time, and make sure the small door or damper leading from the freezer to the fridge is open and not obstructed by any food items

Hi,

Many times a freezer and/or refrigeratordo not work right because of a dirty condenser coil...there are also many otherthings that can go wrong. If you are hearing a clicking or buzzing thencheck out the last two tips.

If your refrigerator is running but warm, then...

Check out these tips that I wrote about that... it is a great place to starttrouble shooting your unit...and something that you can do rather then callinga repair person to do a simple thing for you...

38 on Fridge is not enough to cool refrigerator. Please check there is fan, (working ) to spread the cooling to refrigerator compartment. Switch off and restart, if any chock in system could release the gas circulation. If problem still, release gas and flush out system, vacuum and do gas charging. Thanks.

The fridge gets its cold air from the freezer through a vent(damper) between the freezer and fridge.The fan in the freezer blows air through it. Make sure this fan is running. You may have to hold the door switch in for it to run. There is a flap you adjust with the fridge temp. control. Make sure it's opening and closing when you adjust the fridge temp.
The problem could be the electronic control if you have one or the mechanical linkages.


The chill drawers are probably staying cold because there is a vent to the freezer in the wall for the cold air to seep through.

does the fridge have 2 motors or 1 if it have only 1 motor the gas level in the system are low. if it have 2 motors check if the fridge side motor runs

Not sure if you have one or two problems, so need to be systematic. From what you say it seems you have a defrost heater problem.
Here is how I would start:
- Get a service manual for your fridge.
- Make sure you are not running the fridge in "sales" mode
- Run a self test of the unit (as described in the manual).
- Based on results, unplug the fridge and remove cover of the electronic compartment
- Remove the connector of the heater units.
- Measure the resistance of each heater to see if they are all good.
- If this is the case re-plug the connector and plug the fridge
- Using "force mode" described in the manual turn the heaters on and measure voltage on the respective connector.... this will tell you if board and built-in relays are good.

This should give you a good start of where the problem is.
Note than when in force mode you can also force the compressor to run in different modes and measure the related voltages. If the above does not get any hint, then moce your troubleshooting that way.

Good luck!

I WOULD SAY THE NOISY FAN WAS DUE TO A BUILD UP OF ICE ON THE EVAPORATOR.THE ICE MIGRATES AND EVENTUALLY IT TOUTCHES THE FAN BLADE. PERSONALLY YOU COULD HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOUR DEFROST CIRCUIT.NOT SURE IF YOU HAVE THE ELECTRONIC TIMER OR MECHANICAL TIMER WITH ASSOCIATED COMPONENTS.IF MECHANICAL, I SUGGEST YOU REPLACE BOTH THE THERMAL FUSE AND THE EVAP.CLIXON. IF ELECTRONIC, A LITTLE MORE COMPLEX. EQUIPTMENT IS NEEDED.
