My Samsung RS2630 wont cool on the refrigerator side earlier. I left both the doors open to let the built ice melt. I turned it on after few hours, the light inside fridge is on but I dont see the motor running. Also I see the Freezer light flashing outside on the control panel on door. Any help I could use? Not able to afford technician. Thanks.
If you have ice built up on rear wall of freezer section then your unit is not going through defrost cycle which builds up frost on evaporator and restricts cold air flow over to the fresh food side.
when the temp in the freezer reaches a temp below 8 degrees the light will go off. if im understanding you on which light then its a temp warning light. you need to turn the unit on and remove rear panel on the back of the refrigerator to see if the compressor is actually running. let me know
if compressor is running and your still not cooling then its very possible you have a restriction. you said you have little to no frost a evap. coils. that leads me to believe that your sealed system is restricted. you have to replace compressor, drier and evaporator.
there is a high voltage board on the rear of refrigerator. could be bad. there is no way to determine. we carry samsung and are not happy at all with its service department. sorry i can't help you more. good luck

Thx. But does the continuous flashing of the freezer light say something? The light in the fridge is on but I don't hear the compressor working. Its just stuck and not cold both sides at all.
Thx indeed. I opened the back panel. Dont hear anything working. Just ended up cleaning the lint and picking up water from tray. The fan next to compressor is clean. I have already cleaned up little ice from the freezer coils. There was almost no ice. All I see now is the freezer light still flashing, inside lights on but no cooling no usual motor sound. Compressor was little hot as it was running 6 hours ago when I left both the doors open. waiting for more directions..thx
At this time I hear no compressor or fan running. Just a light under freezer on control panel on the door flashing continuously. Opened back panel but all I could do was remove lint and water. No other movement. There is a panel box with a motherboard like connections behind the fridge. Dont understand that part. Samsung forces its own technicians and also wont sell its parts to other mechanics. I feel trapped with this brand.
