To reset hold the top 2 "buttons: Freezer and Fridge for 10 seconds. The panel will reset. Happened to us after a power failure.

NOTE: This
is a multi-solution answer since I don't have all the tech from your question to pinpoint your problem
But the solution is in here generically, if you read and study the solutions very,very carefully.
First I would check cold control. Thats where you turn it off, if your temp is not warm. it can
be defective and not shutting off. If your temp is warm proceed with the following.
I would check the fan in the freezer. Listen to see if it is running
It moves air to the ref from the freezer
Then check to see if FREEZER CONTROL is turned WARMER WHICH MAKES THE REF COLDER AND VICE-VERSA. SEE?
The ref. temp should be about 33-35
The Freezer temp should be 0 to 10 Any thing below these temps is overkill and a waste of elect
The higher the number you turn it up to is the coldest
But is probably a common defrost problem The ice build up
is not being melted by the defrost system.The fan can't blow through the coils into the fridge.
Take out back panel of freezer to check for ice buildup. The coils should be clean.
There are three components to a defrost system- a heater,heater thermostat, and a timer unless you have a defrost electronic card.
Its best handled by a Technician but you could possibly do it by taking your model number to the nearest appliance parts store and asking for the parts. They are mostly located in freezer ,behind back panel on freezer coils.except the card which is usually located in ref The parts store will have info
Also check fan undernearh Ref in the rear
Clean condenser coils underneath
Make sure back cover is on the fridge. Some take them off and throw them away.
make one out of cardboard if its gone, using the holes of the old one.

WATER SPLASHING IN FREEZER AT ICEMAKER
THE FILL TUBE IN BACK OF REFRIGERATOR CAN SLIP
AGAINST THE FILL RESERVOIR CAUSING A PARTIAL BLOCKAGE
OR BECOME CLOGGED WITH ICE.
REMOVE THE ICEMAKER AND INSPECT THE FILL TUBE.
RUN WATER IN TUBE TO ELININATE BLOCKAGE AND CHECK
TEMP IN FREEZER. IF TEMP IS BELOW 0 DEGREES, THATS
OVERKILL AND USUALLY A WASTE OF ELECTRICITY TO KEEP IT THAT COLD, NOT TO MENTION THE FILL TUBE FREEZING UP

On most newer fridges, there is a very shallow 'V' shaped collection channel at the back of the fridge just above the bottom drawers, this is for condensate collection. In the middle of this channel there should be a hole, this quite often gets clogged, and over flows, hence the water at the bottom of the produce drawers, clear the hole and it should cure your leak, worth checking every couple of months.

Hi,

Here is a tip that I wrote about refrigerators and the fan noisethat they develop sometimes...

RefrigeratorFan Noise

There is an ice building inside the fan compartment. You need to unplug the unit for about 3 hours with the door open to slightly melt the ice buildup. Then remove all the shelves and the back panel to get to the fan compartment and clean out all the ice buildup.

Anything can be fixed.Double check the tube function.Look for drain hole of some kind in lower area of freezer compartment directly under evaporator . May be hidden behind back wall but it has to be there.
Once you find the hole pour hot water into it . It is possible the ice or a pea has clogged the drain and the tech was fooled.Keep trying with water till it appears to run freely.If infact it is collapsed and you have no drainage at all, use a smaller diameter tube like a catheter and push through .Remember it doesn't have far to go .You should be able to see end of tube from behind machine down near compressor. This should get you going.


Hope this helps

The back panel frozen is a sign of a defrost problem.There are only three parts to any refrigerator defrost system.1. Heater2. Timer3. ThermostatOne of them is bad.

Hi,
First I would check the fan in the freezer. Listen to see if it is running
It moves air to the ref from the freezer
Then check to see if freezer control is turned WARMER, which makes the Ref. colder

I have always had good luck with a guitar string and a hot air gun (or a hair dryer on high) to clear a restricted defrost drain. Just heat up the wire slightly and run it down the drain. And then blow hot air down the drain to melt any frost/ice buildup.

Hi

Please check the water inlet valve, it might be frozen or blocked with mineral deposit. Use a hair dryer to remove the blockage. Make sure the water inlet valve's screen is not blocked. If the issue persists, then the water inlet valve has gone bad, use a multimeter to test the water inlet valve's continuity. Use a multimeter to test the continuity. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting fixya.com.

Check the condenser under the refrigerator is clogged with lint. Make sure that the condenser fan underneath the fridge is running properly. You can get to it through the back. Check the coils on the rear of the refrigerator and make sure they are clean and dust free. Also check the back wall or floor of the freezer section for frost. Check the evaporator fan to see if it is running. Check the condenser coils under the unit for blockage from dust. Check the condenser fan under the unit to see if it is running. If you have frost in the freezer there is a problem with the defrost system and the freezer will start to warm eventually as well as the fresh food section. If that is the problem you can check the defrost thermostat, defrost heater/s, and the defrost timer or adaptive defrost control If used on your unit or the main control board if so equipped. Also check the freezer to ensure it isn't over loaded with food stuff, reason being air must flow freely threw out the entire refrigerator in order for the thermostat to work correctly.

Defrost the freezer by disconnecting the power to the refrigerator and letting it sit for at least 24 hours with both the doors open to allow the frost to melt completely but it will build up again in 1-2 weeks and start the warming up again.

you would actually be surprised if i were you I would call samsung they are usually very good about there units having issues like you have went through within the first year in a half and when was it that you had to pay the 350 for the defrost thermostat was it before a year before you yourself replaces such board i would first give samsungs customer service line a call and with the warrantys on there electonic parts and compressor and after you have told them about all the issues you have had im sure they would have a much better repair option then you paying for the board and do me a favor message me back with what they said I do know a couple in the samsung chain and have found them alot more easier to deal with then maytag if they do offer no assistance then I will instruct you further on how to test and find whats causing the issue at hand but lets see if we can get them to own up to the problem at hand which would be there product they made that has given you nothing but misery I await your reply Thanks Rick

What you will need to do is remove your food to another location. Unplug or turn the unit off for at least 24 hours. What has happened is the coils have become clogged with ice. Once you let it melt out it should work fine. You may end up with some water on the floor. Leave the doors opened and lights should be unscrewed so they do not stay on. And take care.

Thanks for asking.

there is no formal reset on this model persay but techs have been able to reset this modle in the past by unplugging it for several minuts
when you plug it back it it should be al set as a reset
make sure you are not shring a plug with anything for this unit it needs a dedicated circuit to operate correctly
