Samsung Refrigerator Repair – East Canton, OH (RS265TDRS/XAA)

A Samsung refrigerator at a home on Lincoln Street Southeast in East Canton wasn’t cooling properly on the refrigerator side, with the customer reporting a sound like a fan was going bad that changed to just a humming sound. When we arrived for service, the fridge was cooling fine at the time of our inspection.

The Problem

The refrigerator side was not cooling. There was a sound like a fan was going bad and now there is just a humming sound. The customer felt they had this fixed once before and the fan just needed replaced.

Diagnosis

Upon inspection, the fridge was cooling fine at time of service. However, based on the symptoms described, we identified that if the issue crops up again, the likely culprits would be the evaporator fan cover assembly and the defrost sensor, along with needing a drain kit installation.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: No parts used during this service call
• Work performed: Diagnostic inspection and system evaluation
• Result: Refrigerator was functioning properly at time of service with 45 day guarantee provided

Is It Worth Repairing?

Samsung refrigerators of this vintage can be worth repairing depending on the specific issue and overall condition. The RS265TDRS model is a side-by-side unit that typically performs well when properly maintained. If the cooling issue returns, the identified repair would be reasonable for extending the appliance’s service life.

Maintenance Tips for Samsung Refrigerators

• Clean the condenser coils every 6 months to prevent overworking the cooling system
• Check door seals regularly on side-by-side models as they handle more opening cycles
• Keep vents clear inside both compartments to maintain proper airflow for the evaporator fan
