Hi - couldn't exactly be sure where to post this, but it seemed troubleshooting was the most appropriate area.
I have a Samsung Fridge/Freezer, here is the product link:
http://www.samsung.com/africa_en/consumer/home-appliances/refrigerator/refrigerator-archives/RSH1JLMR1/XFA/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=support
About a week ago something started making a noise, like a faulty fan, and as soon as you open the fridge side, the noise comes to a sort of grinding halt. Close the fridge, and the noise would sometimes start again, until obviously the fridge side was opened again.
This week, the noise has stopped completely, but now the fridge side does not seem to be operating well. The temperature on the freezer side is always -18C, and the Fridge side I keep on +3C. This week however, the freezer side stays as set, -18C or whatever I set it to be, but the fridge side has increases to +20C and stays there!
I don't know what's wrong, I have absolutely no idea. The only attempt I made to try and figure out what was wrong was setting the freezer to the highest temperature allowed, which is -14C. I noticed that as the freezer side temperature reading started to slowly makes its way up to -14C from -18C, the fridge side actually started coming down from +20C to +15C. I figured from reading other posts, that the internal is giving priority to the freezer side because of lack of gas, and I suppose filling gas would be the logical thing to do, but that doesn't explain the weird noise I was hearing a week ago, which is why I've come here for advice. Any pointed or help anyone? Thanks in advance!
