I have a Samsung RS2545SH 2 Years old. The one w/the twin digital display in front. It keeps freezing up the refrigerator coil every 7 days or so. I have to go in and manually defrost w/ a blow dryer. Can you please advise me on any fix? Thanks in advance.
Hey how yo doing? on most refriderator there are two important parts to keeping freezer from freezing over, they are the bimetal thermostat and ice pipe heater. The bimetal therostat is a preset thermostat that ranges from 54degrees farenheit to about 60, when the coils (inside the freezer compartment behind the back panel) reach the preset temp. it closes a circuit and send electricity to the ice pipe heater, to warm the freezer coils preventing from freezing over. if any one of those components fail, your freezer will continue to freeze solid until there is no more space for ice to build on coils decreasing air flow from the evaporator fan blowing air into your fridge.To test you will minor knowledge on using a multimeter.(REMEBER TO UNPLUG REFRIDGERATOR BEFORE SERVICING, IF YOU UNCOMFORTABLE WORKING ON APPLIANCE PLEASE CONTACT A PROFFESIONAL REPAIR SERVICE..) If you'd like to continue please respond.
GOOD LUCK, WORK SAFELY..

Refridgerator freezes over every 2 weeks. im pretty handy how do i fix?
yes i have the same problem it freezes up about every week
I have the same problem with a different model, RS267LASH. Go to this link

and check out the procedure (on page two) outlined for forcing the frige into defrost mode.
This will save you from having to live out of an ice chest while the techs scratch their heads as they can't fix the frige. Perform the forced defrost every 24 hours and let it go through its cycle.
