I have a Samsung Waltz double door fridge, i had a noise from the fan for a few days and now the noise has gone so the fan has stopped and the fridge is not cooling as normal, freezer is working ok. This fan would switch off when the door was opened

The fan probably needs to be replaced. The fan assembly is either stuck or burned out. Air will not circulate without the fan.and hot air rises.

hello sir

try defrosting, it might be touching ice build up. you can check by pressing the knob switch in front after defrosting one day

Sounds like the freezer fan is rubbing some wires or possible some foam insulation around the fan. I would look into the freezer compartment fan and go from there. The fan Will Shut off when you open the doors. Let me know how you make out and if you need anymore help.

Thanks,
Bill

Sounds like u need to replace fan motor

Check fan motor for continity IF none replace fan motor

don't know this model specifically, but have had loads of problems with these samsung fridge-freezers. the no water in drinks dispensor is probably due to the water bottle at the bottom of the fridge being frozen. this is endemic with samsung the noise you hear is ice hitting fan. samsung use two systems for fan. the one i think you have is separate fans for fridge and freezer and a separate evaperator for fridge and freezer. take of the back plate of the fridge and you will find the fan mounted in it. disconnect the plug and socket connection. you will probably find ice build up round the fan blade. melt off with hot water. the bar you had showing on the "8" is a fault code - the most common fault being the defrost termination sensor. unless you are experienced, this is not really a diy appliance
