Guys, My samsung koelkast RSJ1KEMH is not cooling at all. I put my fridge on vacation mode and left for 3 weeks holidays. After I come back both the freezer and the fridge were warm. I plug out and plug in, but it then both the displays (on each door) were off except one vertical bar on the fridge door was blinking. If i press Freezer and Vacationmode together for 8 secs then the entire display is on. however both display 22degree. Does anyone has idea? After plug in, the vertical bar blinking means it is defrost sensor error (i figured out from google research)?
Any one has solution or suggestions? Please see the photo.
Regards
Ankit

Hey Ankit! First of all, I do hope you've had an awesome vacation, but it sure is a bummer to come home to a warm fridge. Great that you've done your homework concerning the error too, that's indeed referring to the defrost sensor. But I'm afraid I can't get that fixed without having a mechanic take a look at it.
If you'd like me to plan you an appointment with a mechanic, could you please send me the following info in a private message? (click my name > bericht verzenden)
- your name, phone number, email- and home adress;
- full modelcode and serial number;
- copy of your proof of purchase.
And I'll make sure you'll be contacted by our service centre as soon as possible.

Hi Joreis,
Thank you for the respond. I would like to know is it common that if defrost sensor is not working for such 'Display Fridge' , then after plug in the fridge will show such errors immediately? Because i plug in and the error is displayed. However after pressing Freezer and Vacationmode together for 8 secs then the entire display is on but not cooling anymore.
Do you think after changing the defrost sensor, the display will not show error (immediately after plug in) and the fridge will start cooling?
Thanks,
Ankit

Of course the fridge isn't supposed to do that, and to my knowledge it doesn't happen all that often. About changing the sensor, I know a lot about the use of fridges but for that kind of knowledge you need to be a mechanic I'm afraid. I'm not sure if purely replacing the sensor will fix the issue so I can't give you any advice with that. You could try and contact our service centres (see www.selectro.nl for their info) and ask them, they might not be willing to share their secrets but it's worth a shot.

Yesterday, I opened the inside evaporator panel and I see some thick black plastic cover at the start of evaporator line was melted and a bit deposited on the evaporator cooling fins. To say evaporator line starts with thick tube and ends with very thin (copper) tube. On the thinner part there was a huge black plastic wrap which is melted. Near the drain out area at the bottom i see black spot as well, possibly because of heater heating longer?? Rest of the panel looks okay. Seems only black plastic thing is only melted leaving the end of evaporator line naked. The defrost sensor is on the safe side but might be broken.
What can be done from here? do you expect a leakage throught copper tubing? Is it important to make black plastic coating again (how can we do that)? Is the defrost sensor broken and it was continous on heating mode?
For me it is a mystery now. What did you do to solve such problems?
Is it not possible to attach photo here?

It sure is possible to attach photos to your messages here, and I'd really like to see what you discovered since I don't open up refrigerators that often. I circled the buttons with which you can add photos:
As far as I can tell, this is something a mechanic should fix. I'm afraid we don't have enough knowledge of the inner workings of a fridge, all we can do is give you advice on how to use it properly and/or to get you in touch with a mechanic if there's a defect, which seems to be the case here.

Unfortunately I do not see such 'Choose file' tab in my login. Clocking foto symbol does not add foto as well.

Weird.. I'll have to check that, maybe since I'm a moderator I've got more options. If that's the case, sorry for the confusion. I would seriously love to see what you found inside your fridge, but as far as I can tell you'll be needing a mechanic anyway. If you'd like me to get you in touch with our service centre, please send me the following info via a private message (click on my name > send message):
- your name, phone number, email- and homeadress;
- the fridge's serial number (it should be on a sticker inside the cooling area);
- a copy of the proof of purchase.
And I'll make sure they contact you asap to discuss the options of a repair.
