Can you tell me why my freezer is working but fridge side is not? It is a samsung SRS583DW

  • Merlin Corder III Oct 31, 2018

    Here is two possible reason
    1. The fan in the frezer section is not running
    2. The little section that allows the freezers cold air to blow into the refrigerator is frozen over or shut.

    Can u give me a good model? Samsung fridges have dual evaperators. More than likely just an icing up issue. Most of the time simply unplugging it and opening the doors for 48 hours solves the issue.

SOURCE: samsung rs2533sw fridge not cooling

soiunds like the coil on the refrigerator side is iced up.take and open the refrfigerator side and take a blow drier and after removing the 11 screws use the hair drier to slowly melt the icec behind the cover. If you pull too hard and or too soon you'll break the stryofoam ductin that has to be around the coil. then make sure that the drain line is clear reassemble and have a Merry Christmas!

Fridge is hot freezer section ice cold what can the problem be

Check whether the defrost hole is not iced up. If the hole is iced up it cannot automatically get rid of the additional water and cannot cool. Melt the ice using a glass of boiling water or steam until the hole is open.

I have a Samsung Srs583dw the temp on the fridge has gone to 10 degrees and i try and bring it down to 3 and it goes straight back up to 10 it also sounds like the fan is constantly going when i open the...

what usually causes this problem is that the oil used in the system changes position as if you have moved the fridge recently or the other possibilty is that the fan is over used and its damaged and is not cooling the gas as it should,in any of these cases you need to contact your dealership or a local repairs man to fix it.try not to fix it yourself and make it worse!! ;)
