How to fix Samsung Refrigerator not Freezing in Bottom Freezer

Samsung Refrigerator was not freezing properly.
Make sure you checklist to uncover problem.
1. pull fridge out and check if coil is is clean .if not vacuum dust build up
2. check to see if fan is working and if compressor is warm to touch , if cold it could be compressor.
3. check diagnostic circuit board to see if any flashing lights to determine other problems.
hope this works for you and let me know any feedback!

Would be helpful to know if this worked…..did you have to go back to the drawing board? Did you damage anything? Did you buy a new fridge?

[@letsplayball5931]

yes it did work, no did not damage anything

[@gr2262]

I opened mine up from the freezer panel and there is only minor frost that would exist on the line (no hard ice building up). The freezer is still cool but not freezing.
I did notice my fridge panel freezing over and when i tried to remove this one, i couldnt due to the foam stuck to the backside and im assuming extreme hard ice build up and possible interfering with fan. Could this cause the freezer part to stop working too?😊

Remember what controls those fans….that main control board. That main board controls pretty much everything on those refrigerator’s.

I have the same refrigerator well close to yours and I took the bottom freezer apart there was no ice at all on the evaporator any ideas on why I can't get it to act right or get cold because there was no ice buildup at all

Hi, did you figure out the fix? Mine is the same

[@robertbehan9186]

Hi. Did it work? Thanks

[@letsplayball5931]

yes it worked perfectly

[@rafaelg4566]

Looks like it didn't work. There's no follow up video.

Why did I come her and see upset posts with no replies 😃🤣

[@firstlast1732]

THe ice build usually is because of low Freon which indicates a leak

[@diysolaradventures7894]

What if he opens the bottom of your refrigerator and there's no ice back there at all the top part gets cold but not the bottom evaporator

[@aaronrockmore7585]

I think the most important question is…”What was the cause of this issue to begin w/ ??” Cause what’s to say even if this worked what’s to stop it from happening again?

Last Samsung fridge I ever buy. Father in law had a Sears fridge for 45 years. Ice cold. No issues. Never again

[@letsplayball5931]

Sorry havent been on fb for awhile, yes it did work, ice build up in the coils

[@RickJ12474]

Cause was They bought Samsung Fridge (Notorious to having freezing issues at the wrong place and not freezing where it's supposed to)

@@letsplayball5931 I fix comercial Freezers and Refrigerators and what causes this problem is Dirty Clogged condenser coils on the back of the refrigerator. These should be cleaned every six months.

Fans still not going on in my freezer. Not sure shy

[@tooakki]

[@germanium0615]

[@tooakki]

@@germanium0615 I unplugged the refrigerator for a couple minutes as it was stated in the Samsung trouble shooting manual, the Freezer has been working fine ever since.
