Rb1955 samsung F5 code appears on front of fridge. Unit not running. Do you know what the code is or how to restart. Did the power cord thing for 10 min. Thanks

compressors use a small start / run capacitor to start the compressor
modern fridges do not like spikes from power outages and many power boards and electronic components fail because of this and I am inclined top use a surge protector before the fridge cord plug
I went google and typed in --fault code 88-88 for samsung fridge model rf26aewp and the first site up is error codes /messages/ blinking
the site is support-us.samsung>popup>iframe
there is a detailed answer there with a list of fault codes as well and what they indicate
there are other sites that also refer to the fault that you have

hi there, sounds like you have high water pressure, have a look in your ice bin, if ice cube appear large, they will not pass through the teeth in your ice bucket, you will to go to a plumber store and pick a pressure reducer,this will slow down the pressure
cheers

There isn't one. If you had a brief power loss unplug it for 20 minutes and then plug it back in. It should restart. If this does not work.. Press the power cool and power freeze buttons for 8 seconds and then press the UP arrow to cycle through the menu. There will be horizontal and vertical dashes in the display if there are errors. NOTE the position of ANY dashes as they appear as there are actually 13 failure indicators via those various dashes. After the last menu the unit should restart. If it does not start after the menu wait 10 minutes to see if it restarts on it's own.

If you note dashes in the temp windows I need to know what window and what positon of the digital 8 indicator it was in. (upper, center, "top or bottom right and left sides" Top or bottom lines i.e exact digit as it would appear in a digital 8 display.

There are also things like the PTC relay, run capacitor or thermal overload that can cause this.
If you have no display at all.... your most likely looking at a control panel failure.

If you check with searpartsdirect.com, they have the door assembly for $120 plus shipping and tax. To remove you would need to take the top hinge bracket off to remove the top door then the middle hinge can be remove to allow you to replace the lower door. Hope this helps you.

Your icemaker sensor is out of its place. unplug the unit . check bottom of your icemake, the sensor looks like a little ***** , insert it back. turn unit on, and reset the board, Hold power freez, Power Cool for about 10 seconds.

Hi, It sounds like the cold control is going bad. When it shuts of again, give it lettle bit and the tap on the control instead of turning it. If it kicks on, then you know it's the temperature control. Please let me know if this is what you find and if I can assist you with part# or how to order it.

Thanks

if you hold the two top buttons on the right and left side of the display for 4 to 5 seconds it will reset the control board and it should restart, if not check the door switch for a bad connection. I had the same problem and i cleaned the contacts on that switch and reset the controller and no problems since. (2 months and counting!)

Air must circulate in the freezer when working properly. I am guessing the recirculating vent in the freezer may be blocked which would not bring warmer air back to the coil to be cooled. As for the door, I theorize there may be too much negative pressure which pulls the door in while you were pulling out ... don't have solution yet.

Recently had a friend with the same problem. Found that one of the power supplies on the board had a blown capacitor. This allowed the relay on the board to energize but not enough voltage was being sent to hole the relay closed. Basically a blown board was the problem. I found the wiring diagram very informative, it was hidden behind the temprature potentiometers.

There is a timer that controls the refrigerator defrost cycles. This is located behind the kick panel at the bottom of the refrigerator. Remove the panel and look for a dial-like device toward the front. Try to manually turn the timer dial and listen for an audible click. No click, no defrost. Call a NEW repairman and have him check the defrost timer. Hope this helps.
