Problem with fridge freezer

[narl]

Hi

I have a Samsung RL36EBSW . Last night when I went into the freezer alot of the food was quite soft and almost defrosted, I looked at the LCD Display and 'VAC' (Vacation) mode appeared to be on even though no one has touched the fridge freezer.

I turned the fridge freezer off and on at the plug and all seemed to fire up perfectly fine, freezer was sitting at -18c and 4c for the fridge.

About two hours later there was no sound at all from the fridge freezer and no heat coming from the sides of the fridge freezer.

Any idea what could be up?

Likely that the defrost heater has failed,freezer will run ok when switched on but when defost is initiated it automatically shuts down if the defrost heater is open circuit.

Not to sure, it could be anything, it's one of these fross free one's.
