There is a design problem with this model. The fridge section is icing over due to a design defect and the noise you can hear is due to the fan on the motor driving against the ice. Eventually the motor will be stopped from running and the fuse will blow in your plug. Contact Samsung and they should replace the defective parts with a fix.

OK, First let us check the compressor to see if running or trying to start. Pull away from wall and unplug from wall. Remove lower cover and feel the compressor top of the to see if too hot to hold hand there, cool or warm. look inside freezer and tell me if ice is building on rear wall. Answer that and I will be able to tell you what we need to do, Thanks, Sea Breeze

Hello,

Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;}

The answer to these questions lies in the way the freezer/fridge combo works. The freezer is where the cooling coils are located. Then air is moved over the coils and circulated through the fridge side by a small blower or fan. The problem arises when the air is not circulated for some reason.

The reasons the air is not moving is usually two reasons

  1. The fan or blower has failed.
  2. The coil is covered over with ice and blocks the air flow.


The first reason is pretty simple to fix, you simply replace the air circulator and things are good again.
The second reason can be more difficult.
1. The timing device that runs the defrost cycle of the refrigerator is defective.
2. The heater coil that melts the water is shorted or not working

Usually the first thing to check is the heater coil. If there is resistance through the coil then most likely it is still good.
The timing device can be an advanced defrost control board or a mechanical timing device.
If the heater coil checks out to be good then the problem should be the timer.

For most situations, unplugging the refrigerator and allowing it to defrost on it's own will get you going temporarily, till parts can be shipped to you. That will melt the ice and give you a few days or a couple of weeks till it ices up to the point where it will not work again.

So you can see here, the problem can usually be traced to one of three things.

  1. The fan or blower
  2. The timer device
  3. The electric heater coil
By methodically checking these parts you can isolate your problem and fix it.

Take care.

Sharp SJ F60PC SL refrigerator-freezer is freezing the refrigerator compartment.

I would take a look to make sure your coils are not frozen or covered with ice on the inside of the fridge on the back wall and also double check the drain line on the back.

You could have a faulty switch that controls the thermostat as well.

What shld settings be as food is freezing in fridge it has side by side knobs saying colder mid less cold it is a westinghouse fan forced frost free freestyle unit

The settings are "relative". Someone with this fridge in Montana may need to run the same fridge with different settings than someone in Texas to get the same temperatures.

Many manufacturers recommend that the fresh food compartment should be 34 degrees F, and the freezer -10 to 0 degrees F. To set this properly, place a thermometer in the freezer (that can display temperatures as low as the desired temperature). Adjust the thermometer for the correct freezer temperature before going on to the fridge. A fully stocked freezer could take 12 hours or more for temperatures to stabilize after making changes to the thermostat. Once the -10 to 0 degree temperature has been achieved, set the fresh food compartment temperature.

Place a thermometer (that can display below freezing) in a 6 (or so) oz flexible plastic cup of water and place on a shelf in the fridge. A glass of water could break if the temperature gets below 32 degrees if the water turns to ice. The water acts as a buffer to rapidly changing temperatures when the door is opened to read the thermometer. If the fridge is "full", allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize before making changes.

If the fridge and freezer are empty, changes may be seen in just a few hours or less. Otherwise, wait the 12 / 24 hours for the freezer / fridge compartments.

I hope this helps and good luck!

I have a double door fridge, at the bottom is the deep freeze and top the fridge, the fridge is not working at all no matter what temp i set it on, but the deepfreeze is working, what could be the...

If the deep freeze is working it only means that your problem is on the thermo switch on the the fridge section. Try to check the temperature setting panel if its possible open it and look for the thermo sensors that switches the temperature in the fridge.

We have a 2510 Dometic Refrigerator that won't chill in either gas or 110. Could it be the thermastat?

Hello,

yes, its possible, but don't over look other areas that could be the cause of the problem.

You can follow the troubleshooting steps below as you might get to the root of the problem:
  1. Check that the temperature control knob isn't in the "off" position.
  2. Move the temperature control knob to a colder temperature setting.
  3. Check that the fridge isn't unplugged or that the fuse or circuit breaker isn't blown. Reset the circuit breaker or replace the fuse as needed.
  4. Make sure the red defrost button hasn't been inadvertently pushed. If the button is pressed the fridge will run through its defrost cycle. You can't turn the cycle off until it has completed. Part of the defrosting function includes warmer temperatures
  5. Determine if the ambient temperature has become hotter. For example, is the weather warmer than when you initially set the fridge temperature, or is the air conditioning set higher? If so, set the temperature control one step colder.
  6. Determine whether you are opening the fridge door more often than usual, or if a food package is keeping the door open. Remove any obstructions.
  7. Make sure the door seal isn't dirty and preventing the tight contact required. Wipe the seal on both the door and the body using a soft cloth and warm water.
  8. Make sure the fridge hasn't been built-in or placed in a too tightly confined space. If it is, the hot wall condenser won't work properly. Test this by pulling the fridge out into the room to see if the temperature stabilizes.
Good luck.

Refrigerator freezes everything even on low setting

Is it a single or double door? Assuming it is a double door. Normally the upper grade models have an auger motor that opens and closes electronically depending on temperature demand. This auger situated at the top LSD of the fridge normally freezes up due to various reasons. Most common is, product is placed to close to outlet which in turn creates a blow back effect and seizes the mechanism. Need to defrost fridge section for about 2 hours for ice to melt. Retry.
If it is a single door, your thermostat needs replacement. I'm taking it you have adjusted the settings higher(not so cold) but still not correct.
