Our American Style Fridge Freezer,SRS 536 NP, has water leaking out of bottom area of Freezer. I have the same Fridge Freezer in the uk and Samsung have replaced a unit due to a design fault, as seen on ''Watchdog.'' a uk consumer tv. programme. So I am presuming this problems with this style of product is wordwide. Please advise.

Defrost the unit for two days with the doors open...I know you're going to lose your contents. You may have ice on the coils internally. Next make sure you've cleaned the external coils under the unit. Leaving liquids open inside the unit or setting it colder than required will both cause issues like the ones you've got. Also, be sure all air vents inside the unit are unblocked and the door closes tightly all around.

Also have the same problem of flickering Whirlpool American Fridge Freezer display, which seemed to start when I changed the filter.

The pinging noise could be a door alarm which sounds if the door is left open for too long.

I had probably the same problem. After a little discussion with the factory they sent a technician as a "Good Will Gesture." The technician told me it was the control board down by the compressor. I overheard a conversation between he and his central repair office that it was a common problem. The factory would not admit it. I have a feeling the electronic control board he replace (which would have cost several hundred bucks) was probably made in China. Now I'm having more problems with my Ohio made Whirlpool side-by-side. The freezer is working fine, the fridge is not very cold. By the way, the internal lights was one of the keys to the problems.
