Samsung side by side refridgerator making noise and freezing

Our samsung side by side freezer ( RS21DCSV) is 3 years old and is working fine but has started making a really loud noise ( like a motor running) but this stops with a clatter when you open the fridge door. The twin cooler in the fridge keeps icing over. Could it be one of the fan motors thats causing the problem?

    the water disenser stopped giving water at the same time the noise started, but we realised the water tubes at the bottom of the fridge(inside the fridge) had frozen, so we defrosted the tubes and the water works fine, but the noise still happens every now and then. could a motor have burned out trying to push the water through?

    Thanks for the advice drcool299, The noise has now stopped now we have lowered the fridge temerature. All was going well but the water has stopped coming out again. Hopefully will get something sorted. Again, thanks for help, much appreciated.

    Water line in freezer door keeps freezing up -- ice flap is in place and closed. Water is getting through the line at disconnect below freezer door. Is there some type of heater in the door that may be not working or could there be a problem with the insulation or routing of the line itself in the door?

Its a heater cycle problem..the defroster is not working properly. its building up ice in the evaporator that touches the evaporator fan that makes that loud noise but stops when you open a door. it could be either a bad heater, a bad thermo disc or a bad timer.hope i was able to help

    no gem 28, there is no motor that pushes the water through. the pipes froze up because its too cold. if the noise continues to knock every now and then, then still its a defrosting heater cycle problem. check also your fridge thermostat controler. try to increase the temperature by lowering the number set on the dial or slider. so that the compressor would cut off and minimize the freezing of the tube.

    as the water stopped working again, check again the water line if its frozen. still even you have lowered the thermostat, you could have a defrosting cycle problem . as i have mentioned earlier, check those three things. 1 defrost heater, 2 thermo disc, 3 defrost control, either a mechanical timer or an electronic defrost module. see if there are frost on the walls of the evaporator accumulating...

Samsung side-by-side fridge freezer model RS21DCSV. Freezer is fine. Temperature keeps changing in fridge varying from 5-14 degrees and water has stopped coming out of dispenser. Have checked and...

these side by sides use an auger motor in the fridge to open and close according to the temp demand. If its eratic, either the auger is icing up at the outlet possibly due to product being to close to the outlet. On occation i have had to replace them due to being faulty.(to check, adjust the temp. and notice if there is any change on the auger.)

Fridge isn't cold

Hi,

if the compressor is running your ref. should be getting cold. Their is a defrost timer but when it is in defrost the compressor shuts off. I think you do have a leak.

thanks,

Loud noise from the freezer side

The problem is a buildup of ice on the plastic housing (the curved plastic bit) in the back of the freezer under the fixed shelf where the icetub goes. The fan behind this plastic housing is hitting the ice when the defrost comes on.

Unplug the fridge, unpack the freezer, remove the four screws in the back, take off the sheetmetal backing and let the fridge thaw. You can remove the plastic piece after a while and get the ice off (be careful not to remove the styrofoam insulation by going too quickly).

Reassemble and you're back in business, for a few months. I'm never buying Samsung again myself.

Water dipenser

The instruction book suggests this could be because the freezer temperature is set too low. Mine is set at -20C. It says the water line can freeze stopping water flow. Try reducing the temperature.

My rs21dcsv side by side fridge freezer

This sounds like the same problem I had with my model. I contacted Samsung and they confirmed there was a design fault which they will provide a modification kit for. The service engineer is due to carry out the modification tomorrow, 4th June.
Suggest you contact Samsung directly on 0845 7267864
