Samsung fridge freezer
Fault
The freezer was icing up while the fridge compartment became warm.
- Assessment
- Vent and door-seal checks were followed by inspection of the evaporator and defrost circuit. Ice was restricting airflow, and testing identified a failed defrost heater.
- Work
- We allowed the ice to clear safely, replaced the heater and checked its connections, the drain path and fan clearance.
- Parts
- Defrost heater matched to the appliance.
Checks and outcome
The repaired heater circuit checked correctly, the fan ran with the airflow path clear and cooling resumed. The customer was advised to monitor both compartments as they recovered.
