Samsung troubleshooting, freezer not cooling. Refrigerator working. In this video I will show you the most common reasons why your Samsung refrigerator might not be cooling correctly. This refrigerator has two coils. It’s very common for the freezer coil to not work correctly. Let’s fix it!

The black thing looks like a solenoid coil. When current flows thru it, generates a magnetic field. Inside the metal piece is an iron plunger that gets moved up and down. Same as the starter solenoid on your car. All others I have seen are just two position, in or out. Since this seems to be able to send refrigerant to either refrigerator section, freezer, or both, maybe it's a 3 way. Middle (rest) position flows to both, top to one, bottom to the other. They might be able to do this by altering the current flow to the coil. One direction pops it up, current the other direction pops it down. No current flow = middle = flow to both. At 6:52 it kind of looks like it has separate top and bottom windings. Maybe energizing one or the other moves the plunger up or down? The plunger might have been stuck, you unstuck it when you tapped it. Or coil might have had a poor electrical connection and when you moved it around it got better contact. Coils usually fail open, but occasionally get shorts in the windings. Moving it around probably wouldn't affect that, so don't think the coil failed. Disclaimer: not a refrigeration tech. Electronics, industrial, engineering, USPS tech.

I agree! That most likely a solenoid.

You never put the link in the description below for that black solenoid part.

Looks like I have the same fridge. GREAT video but now can you tell me how to program it to send ice to the lower drawer

I have that exact same refrigerator man the bottom evaporator coil dont get cold at all like the top is there a reason for that ? Any ideas??

My daughter is having this same problem on her GE bottom freezer. Coil in back is clean, coil condenser inside freezer wasn't frozen up. I'll have to check that coil relay thing or whatever they call it. Looks like an electronic coil that controls some king of valves inside to open and close.

I have exactly the same problem you describe in your video, and have run the same diagnostics. So, I tried removing the Pulse Solenoid Valve and cleaning it as you did. Hoping it will work like it did for you, but if it doesn't I was thinking of buying a new one. However, no one seems to carry the part. Were you able to get one?

The absolute worst refrigerator(Samsung). I have one that’s just 4 years old. Ice maker hasn’t worked now the top fridge is not cooling. Tried to reset, didn’t work. So I guess my next step is to pay a pro a few bucks to fix a high price fridge. Samsung created a fridge with job security!

How do know if the coil needs the replacement? What I s the input power/voltage to the coil and what is the source? Is it the motherboard or the inventor board? What is the replacement part number for the coil and how one may order it? How do you know if the coil is getting any power and where this connector is being fed power from the motherboard or inventor board and the location of the pins connection on either of the board? The inventor has solid red light indicating working normal and does not find the faulty coil for refrigerator valve.

Does your fan have to be running all the time ? What happens if you put a new one and still don’t run ?

I have a Samsung same as this my fridge was not cooling . It is the issue with the rain cooling system. The drain was frozen Samsung will not replace the part but u can buy longer piece to go on the drain n down in it . Its 6 bucks on Amazon I replaced mine 4 yrs ago and I took the back apart on thin cooling in fridge. I defrostEd it myself while it was apart put new thing in drain that hooks easily over heating thing and haven't had issues since today but no ice is in fridge now so off to Google more for this single mimi to figure out today's issue which I think may be the seals are looking rough so I cleaned then and put on power cool and it's cooling down now so we will see

That is a magnetic solenoid when energize it pulls the valve up in the solenoid valve

I am looking the part number of the coil if it needs the replacement but having difficulty the source (location of pins on mother board or inverter board ) and voltage to it connector.

It funny how we the HVAC tech s fix all heating and AC system and we can’t fix the refrigerator. Mine is 19 years old and I guess I’m buying a new one .
