Default Samsung Side by Side
Brand: Other
Model Number: RS21KPSV
Age: 1 - 4 years

Hi

Aren't these Samsung side by side f/f rubbish? I wish i'd read more reviews before buying mine.

I have a RS21KPSV model with water and ice dispenser. The freezer side 'appears' to be working OK but the fridge is not cooling.

Initial indication: Freezer reading -18 OK, Fridge 4 (flashing) - bad.

Switched off at socket, switched on and freezer reading -12 which VERY slowly (hours) dropped to -18. Fridge reading 19. Over many hours the fridge temperature varied between 14 and 19 but on one occasion it did read 4 but then it climbed back to 19.

The error code that I am seeing is the centre horizantal segment of the right-hand fridge temperature LED is illuminated.

Can someone please help me?

Many thanks

Look in the back of the freezer inside and see if you can see ice on the coils.

Check and see if the fan is running.

If there is ice on the coils the freezer is not defrosting and the air flow to the fridge is blocked.

I do not have any information on the Samsung brand.
