A Samsung refrigerator on Raymond Street Northwest in Uniontown, OH wasn’t cooling in the fresh food section. Our diagnosis revealed the freezer fan wasn’t operating due to a failed control board cutting power to the fan motor.
The Problem
The customer reported their Samsung refrigerator was not cooling in the fresh food compartment. This is a critical issue that puts all refrigerated items at risk of spoilage.
Diagnosis
We found the entire cooling unit was not cooling at all. The freezer fan was not operating because it wasn’t receiving power from the control board. The DA92-01199 control board had failed, cutting off power to essential cooling components.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: DA92-01199 — Board
- Work performed: Replace control board
- Result: Good to go with six month warranty on parts and labor
Is It Worth Repairing?
Samsung refrigerators like this RF28T5001SR are well-built appliances that typically justify repair when the main components like compressors are still functioning properly. A control board replacement is often more cost-effective than replacing the entire unit, especially on newer models.
Maintenance Tips for Samsung Refrigerators
- Keep condenser coils clean — Samsung recommends cleaning every six months for optimal cooling efficiency
- Check door seals regularly on French door models to prevent warm air infiltration
- Don’t overload the fresh food compartment as this restricts airflow from the freezer fan
