The filter is in the refrigerator section in the space behind the vegetable bin. Thus pull the bin out to change your filter. Then remove the cap by rotating it counter-clockwise. Remove the old filter (turn 90 degrees counter-clockwise and then pull out) and then take the protective cap off your new filter. Slide the new filter into the housing and then rotate clockwise 90 degrees. The alignment marks should indicate the filter is locked into place. Then replace the cap. Remember to run water through the dispenser for several minutes to clear the lines.

I hope this helps.

(I don't have a manual for the RS2630WW; however, the Samsung RS2630SW should have the filter in the same place.)

Hi! LOoks pretty much a compressor problem. The compressor may not be working properly that's why when it's hot outside the inside is affected. Im pretty sure that when the compressor is fine the internal won't be affected no matter how hot it is outside. Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa!

Yes. Usually the motor does not come with the fan blade. You should unplug it until you replace the fan motor or set up a portable fan to blow on the compressor and coils.

Fan has to be working or replaced.

This is a sure sign of pending compressor failure (high heat and head pressure, Since that 2 inch section comes directly from the compressor.For verification,
Remove the back cover, and place your hand on the compressor.(careful,may be hot) should be able to leave your hand on compressor without burning.
Check condensor fan in that same area , It may be not running
causing all the trouble
You can get a compressor hard start kit to help the compressor
stay cooler.Ask the parts man He will explain all you need. Directions are on the pkg. if youn order them from here.

The ice maker inside the refrigerator needs to be replaced because the thermostat in the ice maker itself never makes so the ice maker always thinks it has water in it acording to the thermostat so it never attempts to dump or refill.

How to Defrost Refrigerator Defrost Timer Problem

Water Running in refrigerator from Freezer

there is a evaporator defrosting problem; ice building-up. the evap fan is mounted right on top of the evap coil. this will get progressively worse; and, the fan will get completely jammed with ice; and stop altogether. your fridge will get warm and the freezer will not cool properly. you should get it looked at asap..

Hello and Welcome to FixYa!
Actually the leaking water is from the evaporator coil unit.... Under normal conditions,Self-defrost refrigerators usually dispose the water generated during the defrost cycle through a tube or channel that directs the water a pan (Known as Drip pan), commonly below/beneath the unit....
The channel or tube is clogged and the water is leaking to the refrigerator unit, so you need to clear that contamination.... Now the second part is the noise. The self defrost refrigerators contains a circulating fan to move air through the freezer and refrigerator compartments. The unit is located on the back wall half way up or near the top. You need to check that unit. If the sound is coming from outside/ back, you need to locate the component manually by observing the sound/ behavior. It might be the compressor, condenser fan or the defrost timer.If there is a rattling sound from the lower part, check for the loose component affixed with the unit and tighten it if required or balance the foot rests of the unit. And the last part, its feeling like getting over heated. That is a bit precise/detailed area to troubleshoot. The burning smell is due to any short component or any component current over loading... This could be from the main CU or other electrical parts. Check for above quoted possibilities... If the problem still persists the unit might needs to be inspection-ed by proper expert with precise tools....
This is all you need to know in order to trouble shoot the problem.

Best of Luck,

The fault seems very much as the auto defrost of your fridge is not working fine. If you switch off your fridge for about 8 hours and switch back after all the cooling coils have cleared, your fridge must work fine. If so we have a confirmation of either the timer is faulty, the thermostat is faulty , the heater is fautly. Even if some one has tamepred and got the timer to be connected wrongly this can happen. So your will have to check each of these parts for failure or malfunction. the timer cane be tested out, the circuit to thermostat and heater can be checked. One the fridge is swtiched off for some time and put back, then it works well for few days till the coild get clogged again. So these areas must be checked and cleared. Helpful? Good day

Hi. Try to defrost first the fridge just to make sure that everything is in good place. Remove the ice holder and install it again. maybe a few times if you have to. If your water dispenser is working your water supply is good. You may also have to wait a day to get it to work right the ice maker will not fill until the temp of the freezer gets down. Also make sure the full bin arm is down. hope this helps.

Hi,

As the weather is getting warmer for many people their freezer and/or refrigerator do not work right because of a dirty condenser coil...

Check out this tip that I wrote about that... it is a great place to start trouble shooting your unit...and something that you can do rather then calling a repair person to do a simple thing for you...

Take all of the shelves out of the freezer side. Take to Philips screws for backing and 4 philips screws from vent cover just above cover. unplug, Use a hair blow dryer and melt it. Put it back together and there you go. Whole operation from start to finish is about 15 minutes.
