Hi everyone.
I own a Samsung RS21DCNS, which is just over 2 years old. Last week it started turning the 'Power Freeze' function on and off on its own accord. It does this at random and may turn the function on and off several times in the space of a minute or may turn it on and leave it on for hours so the freezer temp has got as low as -33!
What is really annoying is that it has a two tone bleep when it turns on and again when it turns off, the noise can be heard everywhere in the house and it has woken me up in the middle of the night quite a few times.
Samsung sent an engineer to have a look and after 30 seconds he said it needs a new pcb. Unfortunately as it is 5 weeks outside of warranty it will cost £175 fitted!!
I wanted to see if you agree with the assessment I received or am unknowlingly being taken for a ride.
Also...as I am pretty handy I want to have a go at fixing it myself but can't seem to find where I can buy a pcb - any suggestions?
Please can you advise....
Thanks
Jo
