SOURCE: freezer making a loud noise.

Sounds as if the evaporator fan has shaft play or the blades are out of balance or striking something. When you open the door the pressure is equal but with the door closed the fan needs to push the air through the evaporator and return again and circle through fan again. I think soon would be a good time to unplug the refrigerator and remove the back panel covering the evaporator and fan motor to inspect the fan, shaft play and the evaporator for frost buildup or any obstruction of air flow. Thanks, sea Breeze

SOURCE: The Frig Side temp. is 51 and freezer side temp.

I need you to check a couple things for me before we go to far. Is frost building up in freezer back panel? Are all fans inside and outside of the refrigerator. That refrigerator has a control board and we may need to have a look at it. The control board is AP4139120
But I need to hear from you first before going further. Thanks, Sea Breeze

SOURCE: refrigerator cools freezer wont model rb215labp

I know that model very well and I would like to know how long you have owned it and will you or can you find someone that can perform some electrical test fo you. When Samsung made that brand they made a major mistake on the defrost heater elements. They were woven into the evaporator coil. If less that 5 years old it should fall under sealed parts warranty. When I look at a refrigerator from here there are so many possibilities of what is going on that I ask that this is not where to rate my solution. I see that you mentioned the digital controls but are they visible or gone whacked out? Sea Breeze

Verify that the compressor fan is working. The fan is located behind the unit at the bottom. You need to remove tha back panel and observe that the fan is working while the compressor is running.

There's a strong smell (fumes) coming from the printer. I felt high the first day and I had a funny feeling in my throat on one side. Some say it smells like a hot blow dryer or burning smell. I need to...

The odor is coming from what is called the 'fuser' which heats and bonds the toner to the paper stock. There may be some light residue from the manufacture of the fuser roller which is heated to a high temperature to enable the fusing to take place. It may linger for several days but is unlikely to be hazardous in nature otherwise Samsung wouldn't allow it to remain on the assembly. Laser printers often smell 'hot' due to this process but I have not heard of any hazard caused by fumes. One caveat though; the fuser roller is coated with Teflon or an equivalent coating. I nearly died from Teflon which was in a gaseous state many years ago but it was exposed to temperatures of greater than 450F which is dangerous since the effect is that of a nerve gas called phosgene. Since that is a temperature one can easily reach on a stove-top, we have NO coated cookware in our home.
If you notice that the plastic near the warmest place on your machine feels uncommonly hot, it might be best to shut it down since it may be possible for the thermostatic control to fail so the fuser is heated to an abnormally high temperature. I'm fairly sure there is a thermal fuse to prevent catastrophic failure but wouldn't count on it.

Hot spots on door and side of frig

www.viewpoints.com/Samsung-RS2630SH-review-fe12- HELLO, what is taking place is resistance is building in these areas because you have strip heaters in the doors on the freezer and refrigerator door. This keeps any moisture from turning to ice. There is not a lot that you can do or that I can lead you to do with this going on. Some heat is normal as they are heaters. But, if these spots are hot to the touch, being that this is a expensive and new box, I would call the manufacture and ask questions to satisfy you. I would not worry about this unless it is to a point to where you can't touch it, smell any electrical or burn smell, but not to worry as they have many safety controls to keep anything from burning up as I didn't want to scare you.Some units use hot freon liquid or gas that runs through coils in the freezer to keep ice from building up. I have done some research on this model, and it is a very common complaint from new owners. The factory is saying as I said not to worry, a normal condition with this unit. If you start to loose any cooling in either compartment, to call them. I added a link for you on this unit as there seems to be a lot of complaints on this model. I pasted it at the top, so I hope you read my info before going there. Please keep me posted on the outcome and I wish you the best
Sincerely,

I have a burning plastic smell coming from my refrigerator, the fridge is not working, but the freezer seems to be working fine. The smell is horrible though. please help

This is a serious issue, your appliance is a fire hazard. It's more likely that a electronic board is catching fire. I highly recommend you to get a technician to check the appliance. Don't wait until you see flames.

Burnt plastic smell coming from bottom of frig

This is a sign of a short and should be looked at immediately. A smell like that is a sign of something burning. I could be the start relay and start capacitor with overload. But I would not sleep with the possibility of a fire. I will look over your model and see if I can find what this could be, Sea Breeze
