Samsung appliance repair in Sherman Oaks

Samsung refrigerators

• Ice maker frozen over. On French door models the ice maker sits in the upper left corner of the refrigerator section. Warm air leaks into the ice compartment, frost builds up, and the ice bucket freezes in place. The repair is to defrost the compartment, seal the gaps and replace the ice maker if it is damaged.
• Refrigerator warm, freezer fine, fan noise. The evaporator behind the back panel of the refrigerator section ices up. The fan blade hits the ice, then stops moving air. The cause is a defrost fault or a frozen drain. See freezer cold, refrigerator warm.
• Water under the crisper drawers. A frozen defrost drain. See refrigerator leaking water.

Samsung washers

• 5C, 5E or nd. The washer is not draining. Usually an object in the drain pump or a failed pump. See washer not draining.
• UB or UE. The load is unbalanced. If it happens with normal loads, the suspension rods or shocks are worn.
• Heavy knocking on a front-loader. The spider arm behind the drum corrodes and cracks on older units.
• 4C or nF. The washer is not filling. Check the valves and the inlet screens first.

Samsung dryers

• No heat. The heating element or the thermal fuse. See dryer not heating.
• Squeaking or rumbling. The idler pulley and the drum rollers. See dryer making loud noise.
• Long drying times. A restricted vent, common with long vent runs in condos.

Before you call

Find the model number. On a refrigerator it is on a label on the left wall inside the fresh food section. On a washer or dryer it is inside the door frame or on the back. With the model number and the symptom we can bring the likely parts to the first visit.
