Samsung Fridge - Weak Cooling
Model: RF23BB89008MAA
Location: Cape Coral, FL 33909
Repair Summary
Checked refrigerator for weak cooling. Customer stated temperatures had been gradually increasing. Upon arrival, found the fresh food section slightly cool while the freezer was not cooling properly. Connected HASS and ran the Weak Cooling Test, which confirmed abnormally high freezer temperatures while the fresh food section was approximately 40°F and within range. Inspected the compressor compartment and found no traces of oil or refrigerant leakage. Inspected and bubble tested the accessible sealed-system connections with no leaks found. Verified all fans were operating properly. Findings indicated a possible restriction or sealed-system issue, requiring further sealed-system service. Ordered the necessary parts.
Returned and completed the sealed-system repair. Replaced the filter drier and installed a service port. Pressurized the system to approximately 350 PSI with nitrogen and isolated it for 15 minutes. Pressure dropped approximately 0.8 PSI, which is within the acceptable range for a passing pressure test. Bubble tested all accessible connections with no evidence of leakage. Discharged the nitrogen and evacuated the system to approximately 600 microns. Recharged the refrigerator according to factory specifications. Restored power and verified the compressor and fans started and operated properly. Set temperatures accordingly and advised the customer to allow approximately 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach proper cooling temperatures. Unit checks normal at this time.
