The most common reason a Samsung double door fridge isn’t freezing is due to incorrect temperature settings. Make sure the temperature setting is set between 0 to 5 degrees Celsius and not higher than that. If it’s set at a higher temperature, it will cause the unit not to freeze properly. Additionally, you should check if something is blocking the vents on the inside of your appliance and make sure any fans are unobstructed too.
Clogged or dust-covered condenser coils can cause your Samsung double door fridge not to function properly and possibly not freeze. Clean the condenser coils with a vacuum cleaner by unplugging the fridge and gently vacuuming them off to ensure they aren’t blocked in any way. Be sure to check any other components lightly for dust build-up and dirt that may be causing problems with its performance as well.
If the defrost timer isn’t working as it should, sometimes you can replace it and solve your fridge’s cooling issues. To replace the defrost timer, turn off the power to your fridge then access the control box that is normally located behind the front grille at the bottom of your Samsung double door fridge. Unplug all wire connectors from the defective timer, then slowly remove each one until you can access the old timer and replace it with a new one.
If your Samsung double door fridge still isn’t cooling after replacing the defrost timer, you may have a problem with the start relay. It’s important to check the start relay and replace it if it’s not working correctly. To do this, start by unplugging all of the plugs on the old start relay, then remove it from the refrigerator. Install a new start relay into its designated slot then plug in everything else again as necessary.
