Samsung Refrigerator in 2021: How to Find Error Codes, Troubleshooting, Forced Defrost and More!

I was fortunate enough to be able to get a brand new Samsung French Door refrigerator with the newest style interface that seems to be very common. In this video, I want to show you how perform Samsung Refrigerator Diagnostics, reveal and delete Samsung Refrigerator Error Codes, and deal with some Samsung Refrigerator Troubleshooting and repair.

I also have the Service Manual available for this particular refrigerator. I believe most of the content in this will be relevant for your Samsung Refrigerator Service Manual.

Here's a list of the error codes and parts that can resolve them (at least the ones where parts could fix it - many of these are resolved without parts replacements, or the parts are very refrigerator-specific): (coming soon)

Thank you!! I couldn't find anything about demo mode. Bought a floor model and it wasn't cooling, hopefully you've saved the day!

I have another question about my Samsung refrigerator. Iam not getting any ice made it’s not frozen up. I was told it was a water valve in the ice maker because it’s not getting water . My question is, is the water valve in the ice maker or is it outside the ice maker? I was told the problem is the valve isn’t sending a signal to the circuit board that’s why Iam not getting ice. The water works fine I have plenty of pressure. Thanks

Thank you too much. Best video ever about how fix multiple issues!

Very helpful! I'm taking screenshots on my phone of the codes. You should put a graphic of your YouTube channel name on each picture.

I (& many people) can never remember where we saved a YT video. If you put your handle on the pic, we all could find you again looking at our screen shot picture 😊

Thanks,
Cori

Hi. My samsung refrigerator is automatically adjusting its temperature to a different temperature. I wanted to adjust it manually but it goes back to a different temperature. What can i do to adjust it to my desired temperature? Thanks

[VlatyleUSMC]

Any chance you can source the service manual for a RF27T5?

[dresteve]

Can you do a forced defrost on just the bottom ice maker?

[benrodriques]

What would cause this fridge to not go below 41° and also drip water in the drip tray under the fridge . If you are looking at the back of the fridge it's the left drain that is dripping. Thank you

Ben, help please! I cleaned the refrigerator today and the light went off, I assume because had the doors open for about 20 mins. Now, a few hours later, no interior lights at ref or freezer go on and the side interior control panel has no digital display. Please help me out!
