Samsung SR-L3, error code "rd"
I got a customer who has a Samsung domestic fridge/freezer (SR-L3) not working at all. This is what occurs:
- You power up the Samsung
- Everything starts up as normal, the compressor, the readout, the light inside, everything seems fine
- After a couple of seconds, all of a sudden it stops, and the read out reads "rd".
I suppose all I really need to know is what "rd" stands for, I’ve rang Samsung, but the line has been engaged since 2:00am with an automated message "we're out to lunch, please leave a message or try later"!
Any ideas welcome
Thanks

Yeah!, but it’s 5 o'clock now, so they've gone home, still the same message though, "gone to lunch etc", a long lunch!, properly a phone system error. I just wondered if anyone could help me so I have a bit of information for tomorrow morning.

Re: Samsung SR-L3, error code "rd"
I would say that "rd" is refrigerator defrost error whereas "fd" is freezer defrost error.
I could be wrong,but if you dont have any luck ringing Samsung back tomorrow,give Watchdog a call,they could make another episode out of lax customer service.If it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet.

Re: Samsung SR-L3, error code "rd"
Rd is air damper iced up fault.
The damper in the freezer spins around to close/open the air from the freezer to the fridge.
It ices up from time to time, or the damper motor, or sensor that reads it's position fails.
Very common fault, there's a repair kit with a new sensor, damper and bigger heater that's needed to be fitted to nearly every RL33 fridge down here.
If that doesn't work, the damper motor it's self is failing.
The dampers used in these fridges aren't an open/close type flap, but a damper that endlessly spins around, hence needing a magnetic position sensor to tell if it's open or closed. The "Rd" fault means it's not spun to the position it should be in due to icing up or motor failure, or it can't detect it, due to sensor fault.

Re: Samsung SR-L3, error code "rd"
I also have the same problem on my Samsung RL39WBMS.When I power up it works fine, after some seconds it stops and shows the rd error.I also checked the damper and it spins around,so I think the problem is to the magnetic sensor,but I don't know how to check the sensor.Maybe you can help me ??

Re: Samsung SR-L3, error code "rd"
The magnets often drop off the motor shaft!! It's a little black thing about 2mmx5mm

Re: Samsung SR-L3, error code "rd"
yeah I know where is the magnet.But I want to check magnet's sensor because I think the problem is to sensor,but here we don't have these sensors to put a new one so I must be sure if the fault is to sensor . thanks

Re: Samsung SR-L3, error code "rd"
Well I assume it's just a switch, so with be open or closed circuit in the presence of a magnet.
