Any fridge knowledge out there peeps?
Was away for weekend and there was a power cut for 8 hours.
Came back to puddle on floor and defrosted food in freezer.
Its one of those 4 door Samsung jobs from 2018 with the rubbish ice maker.
Temp readings were silly high, like 12/15.
Emptied it, mopped up, and left it off for 30 mins.
Fridge seemed to be making a demand for water from the water line every now and then, presumably for the ice maker, and warm unit couldn't possibly make ice, so turned ice maker off and closed off the water supply.
It eventually got back to 2c fridge, but freezer doesn't get below -4c and when it gets there or when any door is open for 30 secs or so, the light blinks off, the display briefly goes 88 88 and then things sort of restart.
I tried the FF Force Freeze mode, but it doesn't freeze, gives up after a while.
I thought it couldn't be the Starter Relay as the fridge is working and staying cool even with the occasional 88 88 restarts.
Neighbour reckons it is the compressor, any other thoughts?
I want to take the inside panel off the freezer and see how that all looks.
We hovered off those coils at the back down low, they weren't too bad anyway.
I assume the fan near the compressor spins up for the compressor to be doing anything, but I can't remember if it was or not when doing the hoovering.
