Hi,
I have a Samsung French Door Fridge, with bottom Freezer.
Recently it has been acting up, It would cool hit the temps, then it was almost like the thermometer wouldn't start reading the tempature again. I would notice the fridge was warm, Unplug, then plug back in and hit the button to see the Temp and it was up to 52, even though just before I unplugged it, it read 34.
Then the Fridge would cool again, and I would repeat the same cycle.
I placed a call into Samsung (the fridge sadly is out of warranty, just, for non compressor/evaporator issues) and they sent a guy out. He tried replacing the fan, saying that it was not cooling the compressor. But apparently this fridge needs a specific fan whereas most fans are interchangable, and that did not seem to help. He then decided it was probably the motherboard that was causing the issue. So we got a new one ordered and that was just replaced today, but the fridge will not cool. He said that the fan will turn on for 4 seconds then turn off then turn on for 4 seconds and turn off. So the thinks because the fan he put in was not specific to this fridge that might be the problem. So now we are having the fan replaced to see if it fixes it, if it doesn't he says the wires from the motherboard must be toast, and we will have to get a new fridge.
Does this seem right? or does anyone have any other thoughts? My initial thoughts was that it had something to do with the thermometer, is there a way to test the thermometer?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Chris
