# Samsung refrigerator not cooling repair

### The order of elimination, and why it is that order

Mode first, because on this make there is one that lights the whole panel and does not cool. Then the load and the vents, because a packed cabinet misses temperature with nothing broken. Then the gaskets, then the two fans Samsung publishes codes for, then the defrost circuit, then the condenser, then the sealed system. Five of those seven are cheap or free, and in this city most of these calls end inside the first five.

What this involves

Cooling Off mode eliminated first — it costs nothing and it is common

Airflow, fans and defrost before anything sealed

Temperatures measured in both compartments, not read off the panel

Rule out Cooling Off mode

Samsung refrigerators have a showroom mode that lights the panel and does not cool. It gets switched on at home by accident, and it produces a cabinet that looks perfectly alive and is warm. It is free to clear and it is checked first.

Measure both compartments

Actual temperatures, not what the display claims. Which compartment is warm, and by how much, decides everything that follows.

Airflow and the two fans

Samsung publishes codes for both evaporator fans and the usual cause is ice rather than a dead motor. A frozen fan and a failed fan look identical from outside and cost differently.

Defrost, then the seal, then the sealed system

In that order. Most calls end before the last one, and the last one is measured before it is priced.

### Someone told me it is the compressor.

Nobody can know that without measuring at the appliance, and on this make there is a free explanation that produces the identical symptom. It is the most over-diagnosed repair on a cold appliance in South Florida.

### Will you tell me the price before you start?

Yes, in writing, after the diagnostic and before anything is opened. Every figure on this site is a starting point; the number you agree to is the one you pay.
