I own a Samsung refrigerator model # rs267lash. I have replaced the control board, condensor fan motor and evaporator motor, but the freezer evaporator motor is not working. Does anyone have a solution for me, or know if there is a relay that needs to be replaced?
Manny MANY unfortunate customers who bought this **** from Samsung have problem.
Specifically the Freezer cold but fridge side no lower than 55deg problem.
It is a known defect that Samsung has not taken ownership
of.
I have the same problem with the same model as many.. if you search the
net.
Iv'e been trying to find a designated website for repairs for this
problem. Please post website with solution if anyone finds it.
Thanks
Turns out I had to buy the whole coil system and tare it apart to just use the complete coil closure $200. Replaced the original one in the fridge. Definitely a Samsung defect. Make sure the symptom and model is the same before going through with it.
The symptom was the coils would OVER freeze and so the fan could not blow air over the coils for cold air.
So, after a few years.. This was the fix for me and Im sure many others of you who have stumbled upon this. I will try and dig up more information and post.
The Symptom is ; Defrosted the blower fan in fridge section (towards bottom) with blow dreyer to defrost overfrost on fan that blows the cold air from the coils. It refrezes 5 days later. I bought a coil system for under $200. Detached the coils from whole encasing and replaced the Samsung fridge coils. There is a thermal sensor inside or welded (If I remember) that is defective. Wow, Samsung could have replaced those for customers to save face on this defect.
The coil system I bought was a parts replacement for the Samsung. I will try and find it and post.
I found the Samsung repair manual PDF- send me an email if you want it, don't know where to host it for free.

Check the defrost thermostat body and see if it has separated a little bit. I have seen the def thermo go bad and cause this problem about 6 times now.
The defrost thermo is only about 12.00. I really would try it. Remember, it takes a while for the the circuit to really kick in because of the delay time. I think 15 min or so if i remember. Other things to check, once you have a new def thermostat on it, and you know the evap coil is freezing cold with visible frost on it, put your volt ohm meter on the fan motor leads and check voltage. If you don't have 110-120, the nuetral line somewhere may be giving you a problem. Thats the white wire. Some connector along the way, may have built up a residue and not allowing current to flow. Also ck the connector pins on any of the connector blocks to make sure they haven't recessed back when the two are clipped together. The items on the circuit are, ( besides the compressor ) are the cold control, def.board, the evap fan motor, def. thermo.( bi-metal ) and condensor fan motor. I also see a sensor part # DA 32-10105r right beside of the def. thermo. but it lists as NLA ( no longer available ) as of 8/23/07. I don't know what that sensor is as it gives me no description or wiring diagram, it was 10.00. There is also a sensor at the top of the vent cover, but it doesn't say what it is for either. You may have it on the wiring diagram and be able to tell the ohm's values and check them. The info i have on this one is limited as i see many parts nla.

I recommend you either plug probes or attach clamps to volt meter while unit is unplugged. plug or turn unit on check and see if fans getting voltage to energize. If no find source to fans.
This problem could be caused by the
motherboard having defective relays, bad fan motor=> DA31-00103A Fan Motor Sounds like
someone will need to examine the fan motor and test the voltage to the fans
inside and outside the refrigerator. You will need to have this done to eliminate
what the cause is. Both condensor and evaporator fan motors are the same part=> DA31-00103A Fan Motor Let me know and I will explain how to remove, test or replace the
freezer/evaporator fan motor, wiring or motherboart. Thanks Sea Breeze

I bypassed the thermostat and still have same problem.
I unplugged and replugged some of the connectors and fan started working. Thank you
