Samsung RF4287HABP 28 cu. ft. 4-door french door refrigerator Questions & Answers
Samsung wheezing/ Gasping sound.
It is likely just refrigerant coursing through the coils, or maybe the water valve when it opens to fill the ice maker... Is it constant, or does it come and go at intervals?

Ice collects in the bottom of the freezer not allowing door to shut
BA Baker... hello,
Ice collecting on the bottom of the freezer.. is not such a terrible thing...
(Probably means the defrost is working... (merely not EXITING)).
New refrig or unfamiliar refrig could cause deeper analysis...
but if ...
If this is not a new device... and has been happily tending to it's own needs (evaporating well) for a while (months would be re-assuring)...
Then you are MOST probably looking at a clogged evaporator drain... (usually easily fixed by negotiating "WARM" (not hot) through the bottom vents slots of your freezer section.
Looking under your Refrigerator/Freezer... or consulting your owners manual... Locate your defrost "catch" pan...
It should NOT be dusty...
(easily tested: clean paper in tray...
Still clean tomorrow =
clogged drain (pan is watered daily).
Close inspection should reveal a tube descending into it.... This is where you will watch for your patiently applied doses of warm water to appear... (near immediate).
It may take several doses... because ice can also have formed over the drain... Be persistent... You will be proud.
Please comment me back... I really like REFRIGERATORS/Frzrs...
few appliances tend to themselves so well (adorable).

Freezer and fridge not working and starting to
it may be froze up, and require a defrosting. use a portable fan to
speed up this process , also make sure the fan in the freezer
compartment is working, with a little work and a zoom spout oiler, or
some light motor oil, the motor can be sparked back to life.. freeze ups
are common with the high humidity we are having these days.. jay the

Good day. My Samsung fridge/freezer SR-S22FTFB runs normal for the first few hours when been switched on, both fridge and freezer temperatures were set for (- 18 and 2), both fans are running and when
Hello Danie;
My name is Peter. I am a retired field service refrigeration technician.
The normal setting for a freezer is -2 to +2 degrees F., and the normal setting for the fresh food section is +35 to +40 degrees F.
You only have one source of cooling and that is your freezer. With the settings that you have, you are asking your unit to do what it is not designed to do.
The ice maker is struggling because if it is a cast steel ice cube mold, the heater beneath it is not designed for the current to break the ice cubes free @ -18 degrees F., or if you have a plastic flex ice cube mold it is too ridged to flex enough to break the ice cubes free. Normally your ice maker should dump 8-10 times in a 24 hour period.
A note on food storage. Make sure you do not overload your freezer of fresh food section to the point where food product extends beyond the edge of the shelves.
I changed clicks and relays but wires at the compressor burned,only fan runs but compressor still cant start,whats wrong and where is the thermostat?
Hello;
My name is Peter. I am a retired field service refrigeration technician.
Your problem is not your thermostat. In some models the compressor knocks out the overload relay. They relay could last a few seconds or a few weeks before the compressor knocks it out again. This is especially turn with the LG units.
You will need a multi-meter to check your compressor.
1.) Unplug your unit. Remove the bottom back cover.
2.) Remove the overload components to expose the 3 pins on the compressor.
3.) Inspect the pins on the compressor. Are they clean or are they damaged from heat (Steel melting).
4.) With your multi-meter, set the meter on the lowest Ohms. Read the Ohms between each of the pins. You will have 3 readings. One reading will be high and the other 2 readings will be lower. Add the 2 lower readings together. This value must equal the high reading within a few tenths.
I hope I am wrong. A new compressor depending on the model is $275-$450.00. Include a system filter for $40.00, plus new refrigerant $45.00 and the cost od an experienced technician $300.00.
