To Experts outhere - Please help.
I got this Samsung 4 door model RM255BA RB/XAA.
Its about 1.5 years old. The problem is that the unit is freezing everything in the fridge section, and the temp is too low everywhere else as well.
I have it set for -2 in the Freezer and 44 in the Fridge.
Everything is frozen solid. Readouts show the correct temperature. I can hear the fridge working, though the temperature at the setting.
I tried to troubleshoot. When i unplug it - and then plug back in the dashboard shows the temperature to be -18 in the freezer, and abou 15 in the Fridge. Right before i unpluged it - it shows -2 and 44.
Temperature appears to climb up, based on the control dashboard, and it gets to where it should be, visually, but actually its still low. When i unplug and re-plug back in - same thing. Degrees are varried but in the range i listed above
Please Hlep with your expert advice.
Thanks
Gene

Sounds to me like your freshfood evaperator thermister or the air temp sensor may be bad, causing the 3 way valve to stay open for the freshfood side causing it to act as a freezer. Model RM255BARB Section 12, item# 31 is the evap thermister Item#9 air temp sensor.

Just to confirm - you believe that the the temerature keeps going down due to the bad thermister/sensor. The readouts to the display show correct temperature(the one i set) due to faulty indications of those sensors. Just wanted to get your take on why when i unplug the fridge and turn it back on - it shows the actual temperature. To me it implies that sensors read temperature correctly. Its like something starts to affect the sensors after short while the fridge is on. Any ideas? Could something be heating up next to them to confuse the readings?
Thank for you your time.
Gene
