Samsung Refrigerator: Samsung 4-Door Flex not cooling

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 02:27:13 -0700

Model # RF23CB9900QKAA

It started with the freezer warming up, then the whole fridge started blinking lights for a temperature warning. We disassembled it and put it in engineering mode to test it. Control Board looks fine and is sending power to the fans, which do work. No ice buildup is visible; everything looks clean and dry. This 3-year-old fridge simply seems to have decided it does not enjoy refrigerating and prefers to be warm.

Any insight would be incredibly appreciated.

service manual we are using is here

Samsung Refrigerator: Ice maker mechanism blocking with (melting) ice - Samsung RS68A8840S9

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 02:54:17 -0700

Hello all

Ice melts in the mechanism and then freezes up again .

Mechanism is turning, but can't break up the hump of ice that has been formed .

The chute is NOT blocked.

The flap is closing properly after use.

It's about 27c (81f) in the kitchen, so warm but not extreme.

We use ice maybe every 2 days (IE , we never go for long periods without using it).

I've already written to Samsung, who say i will have to pay for repairs as there is no known construction default for this model.

Fridge bought new in 2022.

I've searched this website, but have not found anyone that has the same specific problem...

Any help would be appreciated.

Samsung Refrigerator RS261MD: Ice is not dropping into receptical

Sat, 28 Feb 2026 03:20:12 -0700

Any other ideas around this? Bought a house with a 2012 samsung refrigerator and all of a sudden the ice stopped dropping. I have tried the re-set multiple times and it doesn't seem to be working. It looks as though ice is being made but isn't dropping into the bucket. Since we weren't the ones who bought the fridge, I don't think I am able to have a service technician come out to look

Samsung Refrigerator RF4287HA: New water filter will not lock into place?

Sun, 22 Feb 2026 10:08:54 -0700

I’ve tried a few different brands, I have bought the exact same filter that was in the fridge previously now and it still will not lock into place. The filter just makes a quarter turn and springs back. I’m not sure what this issue is, my only thought is the locking mechanism is messed up and I need to replace the whole assembly, is there a way to avoid this?

Samsung Refrigerator - RF24FSEDB: Freezer is working, fridge is freezing up

Sat, 14 Feb 2026 20:33:05 -0700

our freezer works fine, but the back of the fridge constantly freezes up. you can see ice coming through the vents in the back and you can hear the fan trying to turn to disperse cool air. Normally, we turn off the fridge for a night and let everything thaw out until the morning, but we would like to resolve the problem of the fridge icing up completly.

Samsung Refrigerator: Every 3 weeks our refrigerator fan freezes and starts making noise,

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 04:40:29 -0700

Every three weeks Our Samsung Side by Side Refrigerator starts making noise. I have to take everything out of the fridge for 12 hours (Keeping everything in the freezer during that time), then I put everything back in the refrigerator and everything is back to normal. Something is causing our blower fan in the refrigerator to freeze, once I unfreeze it everything is fine for another 3 weeks or so. I would like to have it repaired but sometimes service personnel need a little help diagnosing the problem so I wanted to find out what was wrong so I can tell them what needs to be fixed.

Samsung Refrigerator: RS27T5200SG Ice maker not automatically dumping ice

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 20:28:24 -0700

The auger/dispenser seem to be working fine, but the ice maker is not cycling automatically. I've done all of the obvious troubleshooting (cycled power, checked that ice maker is on, bucket in place, water line open, etc.) The test button functions properly - sensor arm comes down, it dumps the ice, refills, and chimes. Surprisingly, I removed the ice bucket and it started automatically dumping ice like normal. I'm not sure what could be the issue because the sensor arm isn't contacting the ice bucket when it is there.

Samsung Refrigerator: it is not heating to allow the ice to loosen

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 12:22:29 -0700

I was having the same problems as many people here so did a strip down of the module. Firstly I thought it was the water line being frozen, checked that after a defrost and it wasn't that as the ice tray filled, froze the water but didn't eject the ice cubes. That lead me to the auger motor, so stripped it back and the motor worked as the auger resets to a starting position once you press the blue button on the module. Final thing I have come to the conclusion on is, there are two coils, one for freezing and one that seems to heat the tray to loosen the ice for ejecting. It appears that it is not heating to allow the ice to loosen. Does anyone (looking @LadyTech) have any idea on if this could be the problem and how to fix it/test it. fridge is at 5°c freezer @ -15°c...I/M top left of the fridge unit not in the freezer compartment

Samsung Refrigerator - RF30KMEDB: Ice Maker won't stop making ice.

Fri, 26 Dec 2025 16:11:18 -0700

I have a Samsung Refrigerator, RF30KMEDBSG/AA, and I'm experiencing an issue with my ice maker: it won't stop making ice. I have tested the infrared (IR) emitter with my phone and confirmed it emits red light. I have been searching online and have concluded that the IR receiver, which is located on the back side of the ice maker, that is about 18 inches in front of the emitter. The receiver, I believe, is faulty and is not signalling the main control board to stop ice production. Is this a common issue and is there a fix for this issue that you guys know of? I've seen online that these IR receivers are problematic. I was hoping there is a way to do a bypass wire/jumper cable, so to speak, that might fix this issue. I could be entirely off base here, but I was hoping someone might know more. Thank you!

Samsung Refrigerator RF261BEAE: Ice Maker Stopped Dumping Ice

Fri, 26 Dec 2025 11:56:13 -0700

I have a 2.5 yo Samsung RF261BEAEBC/AA french door refrigerator. The icemaker has suddenly stopped dumping ice. The temperature is set to 2 degrees and the icemaker button is 'On'. When the reset button is pressed, the motor kicks in, the perfectly formed ice drops and the tray refills.

I've replace the water filter and the icemaker module, all to no avail. I've turned everything off, then back on. I'm not sure what to try next. Any help out there?
