How To: Samsung Defrost Temperature Sensor DA32-10105R

[@barrymarshall546]

I bought a samsung fridge a few years ago and after a power surge in our street which blacked out our area, the fridge cooling wouldn't function properly (freezer fine). Hovered around 12 degrees C (although the display had it fluctuating!). Replaced the sensor and for a short period it worked (1 week) and then back to 12 degrees! Decided to get rid of the fridge, turned it off and ran a second fridge beside it for a week. The night before I was going to get rid of it I turned it on for one last try. The next morning it worked perfectly and has continued to do so ever since! I think that when I approached it with the screw driver to take the doors off so as to get it out of the house, it decided that it was either behave itself or it was the scrap heap and so opted for our company. True!

As part of your instruction video you should be showing the reading on the old and new thermostat in the test condition. Otherwise pretty good instructions.

[@ElroyMcDuff]

Thanks for posting that. I just ordered sensors for my Samsung because the fridge side had iced up and wasn't cooling. I'm hoping this will clear the error message and get the defroster working again.

It's interesting to see this video. I have a RS265TDRS which keeps icing up in its refrigerator evaporator coil, eventually blocking the fan, and causing the fridge to be too warm (~48F when set to ~34F). From the factory, its defrost sensor is on the inlet side (upper-right of the coil, short white-color wires to the NTC thermistor). I just moved it to the left side (requiring extending the cable to reach), to exactly where it is shown in this video, based on a tip on the RS267 fast track sheet, suggesting to put it on the outlet if freeze-up is happening. I also replaced the foam gasket that goes around the evaporator with a more substantial rubber gasket. Hopefully my modification will help. However, I do worry a bit about the zip ties rubbing through the wire. From factory, there is a bit of plastic tube to help against abrasion, but it isn't so long... In this video, the two gas lines were zip-tied together. I wonder if that'll cause any issues or inefficiencies because heat will be able to conduct from the outlet tube to the inlet tube, or cause the two tubes to rub against each other... not sure...

[@pigrew]

@PL Lyons I'm not sure yet. :) I just modified it a few days ago. Over a few months, ice would build up around the fridge evap fan. When the ice built up, the fridge temp would rise to about 50 F. I would run the force defrost occasionally and it'd go back down to reasonable temperatures. The ice sometimes started interfering with the fan blade (it made bad noises). It never reported any error codes. Presently it's 35.5 F, when set to 34 F, though I'm not doing any fancy logging of it. Time will tell if it will maintain cooling. My guess is that the gasket replacement will help more than moving the defrost sensor. It should also be noted that the temp will rise greatly on the shelves when the door is opened. The bottom (of three) drawers also seems like it's a warmer area in general.

@@pigrew update?

[@pigrew]

No strong results. It's iced up every four or five months (as evidenced by the refrigerator temperature being too high, measured with a thermometer at the at the rear). I run the self-defrost when that happens and it's good for a few months. My guess is that the better sealing insulation helps more than relocating the thermometer.

[@egorkin1982]

How to test , and how did you find out it’s sensor fault? What readings (am assume resistance) should be? To replace parts- it’s not hard job, to diagnose faulty part is more complicated 🤦‍♂️

[@johnmcleod8369]

Do you replace both sides if freezer is working properly and refrigerator side only cools to 60 degrees F?

[@ElroyMcDuff]

I wondered about that also. My fridge stopped cooling also because it had iced up so I'm guessing it was the sensor on that side that was faulty. Since the Samsung website doesn't say which sensor is which I ordered both of them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@hillbillytc5653]

I have the opportunity problem the food in the fridge freezes is this the same sensor stuck in closed so the fridge continuos cooling

[@maharper100]

I have this cooling issue with my Samsung RS2534WW, freezer side is fine, fridge side gave me an error code of 7, (Refrigerator Defrost Error). My fridge is 10 years old. Should I replace both the defrost and fridge sensor since I am going inside the unit, there is also a defrost thermal fuse In the same area. Do you carry all three components?

[@edsonmelo4524]

este sensor é de quantos K??

[@zack2chat812]

I've got a very old Hotpoint refrigerator that has water on top shelf and bottom of frig.

Can I use da32-00006W ref defrost sensor for samsung rs21hutpn1

[@grecco3631]

Good afternoon, how many ohms do the sensors give you? Why do you change it?

[@anand1sagar]

Defrost not working hence ice on evaporator coil,my guess is sensor is down .I think the ohms is close to 4k sometimes 3.5 K

[@unioncityhiller]

What’s the difference between temperature sensor and temperature defrost sensor ?

My Fridge runs well for about 12-16 hours then it stops cooling, could't be the defrost sensor?

[@appliancepartspros]

The first easy thing to check is that it's not an airflow issue, and that your appliance isn't overstuffed, blocking the movement of air inside and between freezer and fridge. If it's not that, then it sounds like it could a defrost problem, though there are a number of parts that could cause that issue. We offer free technical advice and diagnosis, though, but we'll need some more information. We'll need your model number, which this link on our website can help you find: www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx Then you can give us a call at 1-877-477-7278 or you can chat us at our website: www.appliancepartspros.com/.

I'd replaced the main control board on my Samsung side by side fridge 3 months ago and it has been working like a champ. However, since I increased the cooler temp by 2 degrees to 40 F the other days, the next day I noticed that the freezer temp 0 F on the led display stared flashing suddenly. So I powered the fridge off at the circuit breaker and waited 2 hours before powering it back on. After the fridge was back on for a few hours, the temp on the led display was all over the place and the compressor doesn't seem to stop at all. Led display shows cooler temp at 34 F and it shows freezer at 48 F. Please advise what should I do or check at this point. Thanks a lot !

[@filbautista7294]

What is the defrost sensor value you've installed? My side by side Samsung ref freezer is not working. The setting range is -17deg C to -23deg.C. what is suitable sensor value di you recommend? .sorry I couldnt find value or specs in my Defrost sensor.thanks.

[@KilliKonKarnage]

Hello, I replaced my refrigirator side defrost sensor as the frost had built up so much stopping the fan from spinning. I had a fault code for the R. Defrost Sensor and a fault code for the Fan. Since replacing a few days ago, everything has seemed to be running fine but the fault code for the R. Defrost Sensor remains which doesn't fill me with confidence. Is it okay to ignore this? Thanks
