Freezer light stated flashing, fridge works ok, now the freezer wont cool
SOURCE: Samsung twin cooling fridge/freezer model
My husband removed the covers inside the fridge which contain the lights and the cooling fan. The problem was the icing up of the cooling fan (which circulates the cold air) preventing it from rotating also the drain hole at the bottom of the fan was also iced up.
The fridge was switched off at the wall socket whilst working on it. After removing the panel containing the fan and unplugging the connection take the panel outside. A hair dryer was used to thaw out the ice. The drain hole was made slightly bigger to hopefully prevent this happening again.
When panel is screwed back in fridge make sure the black sealing tape is in position also take care not to damage cooling pipes which are attached to the evaporator unit. Defrosting a couple of times a year might prevent this happening again. It seems to be a design problem which im sure the makers will be aware of and modify future appliances. Q Will the makers repair this problem free of charge even if the warranty has expired !?
SOURCE: frigde wont get cold but freezer does.
I am an authorized Samsung service center, and I have dealt with this
ongoing design problem for years. The problem occurs when the unit
comes out of the defrost cycle, not all of the frost has been removed
by the defrost element and an ice bridge occurs at the top and bottom
evaporator coil. There are sensors that send readings back to the main
PCB during and after this cycle, They have to be replaced along with
adding heat transfer clips for better frost meltage and air
circulation.
Order the following parts through Samsung:: Fixer # DA61-03585A,
Plate # DA61-03502A, Thermal Bi-metal # DA47-10160H, Sensor #
DA32-00006W. Have these parts installed by a professional appliance
repair company.
I hope this will fix your dilemma, Ward Appliance Repair.

How to check everything

The fridge gets its cold air from the freezer through a vent(damper)
between the freezer and fridge.The fan in the freezer blows air through
it. There is a flap you adjust with the
fridge temp. control. Make sure it's opening and closing when you adjust the
fridge temp .
OR.
If the evaporator coils behind the back panel of the freezer
are icing up because of auto defrost failure that will stop the circulation of
cold air and eventually affect the freezer too.
check defrost timer, defrost heater, defrost thermostat. In
most newer models the timer has been replaced by an electronic control board.
If the heater and thermostat are ok it’ll be the control.
You can turn the defrost timer till it clicks
and everything shuts down. The heater should now come on. If it does, replace
the timer. If it doesn't, check the heater and defrost thermostat. Turn the
timer again till everything starts back up to end the defrost cycle.

The fridge gets its cold air from the freezer through a vent(damper) between the freezer and fridge.The fan in the freezer blows air through it. Make sure this fan is running. You may have to hold the door switch in for it to run. There is a flap you adjust with the fridge temp. control. Make sure it's opening and closing when you adjust the fridge temp.
The problem could be the electronic control if you have one or the mechanical linkages.
