Samsung Refrigerator Repair – North Canton, OH (RF28HMEDBSR/AA)

Samuel Willhite made a service call on Randal Circle NE in North Canton to look into intermittent motor noise coming from a Samsung refrigerator. After a thorough inspection of the evaporator fan, ice maker fan, compressor, condenser, door gaskets, and drain, no mechanical or electrical fault was found. The most likely explanation turned out to be a mullion flipper that was not always closing fully between the French door panels.

The Problem

making motor noises

The Repair

Customer reports intermittent motor noise that stops when the FF door opens. FF evaporator fan verified functional and quiet, ice maker fan visually clear with no ice contact, compressor amp draw normal, condenser coil/fan clean and spinning freely, both door gaskets sealing, FF condensate drain clear, cabinet temps within spec, water filter/inlet valve no leaks. No mechanical or electrical fault found on evap fans, icemaker, compressor, or seals. Noted the mullion flipper between the FF doors is not always closing/flipping out fully — likely explanation for the intermittent noise given it correlates with door movement. Customer to monitor for a few days confirming the mullion fully flips into position on each close and watching whether that resolves the noise; if it doesn’t change or the mullion is ruled out, customer intends to replace the refrigerator rather than pursue further repair.
