You service it the same way as you would on a standard compressor with an inverter board. Check for power into the inverter, if you have power replace the inverter board. If you replace the inverter and compressor does not start up and run without any noise or vibration replace both inverter & compressor. These compressors run very quiet, to the point you almost cannot hear them run in most cases . If you hear any grinding or internal compressor noise you must replace the compressor. If you do not have power to the inverter check supply power from main control board back to inverter. If you have no power to inverter you have a 95% chance of a bad (MPCB ) Main Power control Board.The innovative design provides a smaller, quieter, oil-free compressor; reducing temperature variation in the refrigerated space and increasing energy efficiency. See inverter board video link. https://www.appliancevideo.com/premium/samsung-rf263teaesr-refrigerator-not-cooling-in-freezer-and-fridge-inverter-board/

Service Requirements
The compressor design requires changes to the existing process for sealed system diagnosis and repair. Changes include:
• Use of dedicated, oil-free hoses and gauges,
• Use only a Non-UV Dye Dryer,
• Do not overheat the discharge tube,
• Do not handle the compressor by the discharge tube, and
• Always replace the inverter with the compressor

If you are looking to salvage the unit you can have the board repaired. The F2 error is a control board error. I have had a lot of boards repaired by fix a board good results. We have used both w/good results. However, FixYourBoard- http://www.fixyourboard.com/ does comprehensive testing of their boards. I go with Core Centric Address: 175 Wall St, Glendale Heights, IL 60139 Phone:(630) 216-5000 http://www.corecentricsolutions.com/ because it is much Faster turn around time, good quality and usually less expensive but regardless of who you have rebuild it, , Always advise the customer that rebuilding is not successful 100% of the time because, just like appliance repairs themselves, sometimes the component need to repair the board is no longer available either or you may get a board back from the re-builder and install it and find only part of the problem was corrected especially depending on who the re-builder is (hint: read the first line above). If this is a run of the mill Electronic Relay Control versus a high-end brand oven controller does affect the success of the repair.

Hi. I looked up the tech sheet on your unit. The clean light blinking is indicating an error code. Are you getting 4 blinks then a pause then 4 more blinks? This would be a 4-4 error code which is not listed. There is a 4-1 and 4-2 error code which involve an issue with the motor or control board. check that blinking light and let me know.

Try undoing the ribbon connector from the touch pad and control. Clean the ribbon and reassemble. Let me know if that works for you.If that does not work Replace the moisture sensor. located on the left side of the cavity over a vent. On earlier models, the control faulted to an F-9, which was equally confusing if you did not know what it meant. The sensor is a silver-colored disc with 2 wires.

Dual Evaporator models, by design, create a high humidity environment in the fresh food section. Although this design improves the preservation of certain refrigerated foods, the potential exists in some units for an ice ball to form in the lower section of the compartment due to excessively cold temperatures and high humidity. The low temperatures are created by gaps around the beverage center duct and along the left side of the Custom Cool air handler cover. These locations can be sealed and the temperature improved using the service kit WR49X10180 (120V heater) or WR49X10175 (220V heater). Refer to the attached kit instructions for the proper repair method.Models Affected: PSF26P, PSS26P, PSW26P, PSF26R, PSW26R, PCF23P, PSC23P, PSH23P, PSW23P, PCF23R, PSW23R, PCF25M, PSC25M, PCF25N, PSC25N, PCF25P PSH25P, PSC25P,

Step 1
Remove the bottom three bins and lower shelf in the fresh food compartment. Remove any ice inside the fresh food side of the unit. Check under the quick chill assembly. Clean and dry the area, as well as the sump.
Step 2
Remove the beverage center duct cover and the evaporator line cover. Remove the fresh food evaporator cover via the three (3) screws attaching it (Figure 1). Tilt the assembly out of the way of the beverage center duct. It is not necessary to disconnect the fans. Remove any ice present and dry the area thoroughly. Should Fresh Food Evaporator EPS Block or Air Return EPS Block become damaged in this process, utilize replacement pieces in kit.
Figure 1
Step 3
Remove Beverage Center Duct and replace with new duct from kit, liberally applying RTV to seal Duct in place. Apply RTV completely around the Duct including behind and below, smoothing on with finger is preferred method. Cover as much of the gasket area as possible (Figure 2). Install the EPS L-insert per Figure 2.
Figure 2
Step 4
Apply a liberal bead of RTV along the space between the custom cool cover and the left sidewall (Figure 3).
Smooth to ensureStep 5
Apply a liberal amount of RTV102 to the underside of the 3-watt AC heater assembly. Follow the INSIDE of the lip on the bottom of the heater assembly (Figure 4). Ensure the RTV will make contact around the entirety of the heater assembly when applied to the custom cool cover.
Figure 4
Step 6
Position heater assembly on custom cool cover, making sure heater assembly is directly touching the left sidewall (Figure 5). Heater assembly should fit custom cool cover geometry snugly. Ensure that the heater assembly goes all the way back to the evaporator tube cover.

Step 11
Ensure power to unit is disconnected before drilling.
Check for Flow Meter wiring harness clearance in doghouse before drilling.
If the unit has precise fill feature, check for wire harness clearance in doghouse before drilling. If wires are in the way, adjust hole location accordingly.
Drill a 1/2″ hole straight down into the machine compartment. Locate the hole in front of the right front DC grommet. Hole should be 1” in front of DC grommet edge and 2” from right liner wall (Figure 9).
Drill perpendicular to the surface.
