Samsung Fridge - Intermittently Noisy
Model: RF29DB9900QDAA
Location: Cape Coral, FL 33993
Repair Summary
Checked refrigerator for a loud intermittent noise. Upon arrival, customer described the noise and provided a video showing the compressor rattling loudly. Connected HASS and ran a service diagnostic report, which showed a locked-rotor compressor error. Although the Weak Cooling Test passed and the refrigerator was cooling properly at the time, the compressor was determined to be faulty and a sealed-system repair was required. Ordered necessary parts. Returned and installed the ordered parts and completed the sealed-system repair. Pressure tested the system to 350 PSI and found a pressure loss of more than 10 PSI within approximately 5 minutes. Contacted Samsung Tech Support and completed Visual Support. Bubble tested all accessible joints and connections with Tech Support and verified no external leaks were present. Based on the rapid pressure loss with no accessible leak found, the refrigerator has an internal sealed-system leak within the cabinet and is not repairable.
