How To: Samsung Refrigerator Temperature Sensor DA32-00006S

[@smking100]

Thanks for posting this! I just finished the replacement, and everything seems to be working as hoped for. It took me about 2.5 hours overall just for the refrigerator section (freezer didn't need work), including defrosting the built-up ice on the heat exchanger, and cleaning everything up at the end. A word of caution to those with built-up ice... The back panel will not easily come off if it is stuck to the ice, so you'll want to be extra careful as you remove the cover. It isn't very sturdy, and you could run the risk of damaging the cover if you try to force it off. I made enough space to get my hands behind it, and worked it loose from the ice on both sides gradually until it was free. Everything else in this step-by-step guide was spot on!

[@sifisonala8776]

This vid just helped fix my fridge, it's been almost a year since we last used it cause it wasn't going below 20° but the freezer was working fine, so we just switched it off and went back to our old LG. two nights ago I decided to google what might be the cost cause technicians here are very opportunistic. Found this vid and went to buy a Samsung Temperature Senso at a local appliance parts store. I installed it yesterday and the fridge is perfectly fine now @ 3°! Many thanks....

[@stanleysheppard8464]

Very good video! Thank you for great camera angles and for your attention to detail. As a side note, buying Samsung appliances was a mistake. From the dishwasher to washer and dryer, stove and now fridge everything required repairs several times in 10 years. Local service people outright refuse to deal with Samsung appliances.

Hi There I am having a issue that I thought was the sensors. My fridge section was freezing everything. even change the temp to 7deg c didn't help. The temp was still below freezing. I did all that you where talking about, but when I started to reassemble everything I noticed the one of the pins for the fan had broken off in the connector on the fridge side. (it was stuck in the fan connector). Also thinking back i wasn't hearing the fan run/stut off when opening the door. So my question is how do I get to that connector to replace the pin

How do I know which temperature sensor is bad or do I need to replace both? Both freezer and fresh food part quit cooling and I unplugged the refrigerator for 3 hours, plugged it back in and it works now on both sides.

[@appliancepartspros]

You will need to test the temperature sensors for resistance. At room temperature (77 F) the resistance should be the sensor resistance should be 5K ohms, at freezing(32 F) 1.3K ohms resistance, and at 0F 3K ohms resistance.

[@michaeldunagan8268]

Love the instruction. My sister has a Samsung, just out of warranty of course, that has great difficulty maintaining cool refrigerator temperatures when the doors are opened more than once every two hours. The setting is cranked full cold. A Sears technician came out and said it's the thermostat: about a hundred and about $175 for the part and about another $200 for labor is how I recall it. Do these guys think they're plumbers having a haul around a ton of tools everywhere they go for such expensive labor? Do they think they're auto mechanics where they got to purchase basically half a house and tools to do their job? Digressing- -the refrigerator is an icing up showing any other signs that it's not working properly other than it just cannot maintain cool temperatures if it's being disturbed. I don't know if I thermistor will help the situation.

Also it is a twin cooling system, that means the compressor will run even the fridge temp is normal when the freezer need more cold. I mean the pipe will be in very cold temperature no matter what temp is the fridge.

Thank you. If the temperature inside the fresh food section is too cold and you are not able to adjust the temperature then you will need to test the temperature sensor for resistance. If the temperature sensor is good then you will need to replace the control board.

Question, my frig has just started "losing temp" in the cold part and chiming to warn me. It goes crazy chiming sometimes over and over again even when reading normal temp. Then it loses temp after. If I select "power cool" it knocks it down below freezing (25°) and does not shut off cooling until I deselect it, unlike the freezer power freeze that will shut itself off. The freezer has stayed steady. Is this a sensor issue or something else? Thanks!
