A Samsung refrigerator on Emerald Avenue Northeast in Canton, OH was not running when we arrived for service. The fridge display was totally dead, and we discovered one of the relays on the main board was clicking on and off.
The Problem
The customer reported their refrigerator was not running. When we arrived, the fridge display was totally dead.
Diagnosis
One of the relays on the main board was clicking on and off. As far as I could diagnose, the inverter board was bad. The main board was also no longer available (NLA).
The Repair
- Parts replaced: None
- Work performed: Diagnosis only
- Result: Due to the cost of the repair and age of the machine (as well as the main board being NLA) the customer decided to replace the refrigerator
Is It Worth Repairing?
Samsung refrigerators from this era often face control board failures as they age. When both the main board and inverter board need replacement and parts are no longer available, replacement becomes the practical choice. This customer made the right decision given the circumstances.
Maintenance Tips for Samsung Refrigerators
- Keep coils clean to reduce strain on the inverter and compressor systems
- Check door seals regularly — poor seals force the refrigerator to work harder
- Avoid overloading shelves, which can block airflow and stress the cooling system
