Samsung refrigerator

Disconnect the power cord for about a minute and then reconnect. Might just need a reset.

I have a 2200 dollar samsung (subtle brag) that stopped working all together a couple months ago even though it was less than 2 years old. I ended up buying a Kenmore Elite to replace it rather than wait a couple days for a repair man (another subtle brag) because I have a wife and 3 kids and no fridge for any length of time was not an option. Also, my experience with appliances is after paying for a repair man and parts, I could have spent a little more money and have a brand new appliance so I really didn't have a issue forking over another 2k (that right, another subtle brag). I was gonna have to spend big bucks regardless so the difference in cost was justified in my mind given the lack of downtime without a fridge.
Now if you are not dependent of the appliance and have time to repair on your own like I did, I would recommend you trying to do the repairs yourself. I researched the issue and was able to trace it back to the circuit boards. I purchased 2 new circuit boards for 100/ea and installed them myself (which is just plugging in wiring harnesses) and I now have a second working fridge in my garage (subtle brag). From what I read, the circuit boards are a common problem with these refrigerators and they are very easy to replace.
Having said all that, I'd venture to say that I have more experience with appliances than most because I have 4 houses (3 rentals) and own all the appliances (not so subtle brag). I have always bought Kenmore and going on 10 years, I have never had a single issue with any of those appliances. For some dumb reason I decided to go fancy in my personal house and bought a samsung fridge and washer/dryer and have issues with both. My washer and dryers started to show rust after the first year and don't wash worth a lick. I will never buy a samsung appliance again even if my life depended on it. Stick with tried and true appliances and don't fall for the electronic gimmicks because they are all POS and will break. Good luck

We've had this frig for 7 or 8 year and other than a problem with the ice maker this is the first real problem we've had. I done some research and it sounds like it might be a board problem so I may try replacing those 2 after I try one of the suggestions above. Thanks!
