I HAVE A SAMSUNG FAMILY HUB REFRIGERATOR. I HAD THE POWER TO THE HOUSE GO OUT AND COME BACK ON DURING THE NIGHT. I ALSO HAVE ON OCASSION FAMILY MEMBERS NOT CLOSING THE LOWER FREEZER DOOR ALL THE WAY AT TIMES. I HAD A MESSAGE ON THE FAMILY HUB SCREEN SAYING ABNORMAL TEMP AND TO HOLD THE OK BUTTON FOR 3 SECONDS. THE NEXT DAY THE FRIDGE WAS NOT WORKING AND FULLY DEFROSTED.

I GOT A CODE 72 : ERROR ABNORMAL FRIDGE

I HAD A LOCAL SERVICE TECH COME OUT AND ADVISED THAT I NEEDED THE FRIDGE UNPLUGGED FOR 24 HOURS AND THEN SHOULD WORK FINE. SAIED THE COMPRESSOR IS FINE.

I UNPLUGGED FOR 24 HOURS AND IT DOES NOT WORK.

I CLEARED THE CODES AND THE SELF DIAGNOSTICS DOES NOT REPORT ANY CODES. ALSO THE RED LIGHT ON THE PCB BOARD IS A SOLID RED. NO BLINKING. I TRIED ALL THE DIFFERENT WAYS OF TRYING TO RESET THE REFRIG BUT NOTHING WORKED.

IT SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING IS WRONG WHERE THE FRIDGE DOES NOT KICK ON THE COMPRESSOR OR THE FANS INSIDE THE FRIDGE. THE FAN NEXT THE COMPRESSOR IS SPINNING. I VACCUMED THE CONDENSOR AND IT IS CLEAR OF ANY DIRT AND DUST.

WOULD IT BE WORTH WHILE TO REPLACE THE PCB BOARD? MAYBE A NEW BOARD WOULD POWER UP THE COMPLRESSOR AND FAN, ETC.?

ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE MUCH APPREICATE. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

Hi. I have attached the service manual for this refrigerator. I would run the diagnostics in this manual if you have not already done so. See if there are any other errors codes. Also , the inverter board has a red LED on it that will indicate errors as well. You can check for proper voltage from the main board to the inverter. If voltage is correct you could have a bad inverter board. With what you have described, it does sound like the main board is faulty.

  • Hi Brian. I already did replace the inverter board. The LED is a solid Red LIght. Also no codes with self diagnostics. Should I try Compressor Starter Module next? Could it also be a bad condenser?
  • Hi. The condenser would not be faulty, but the compressor most likely is. What would the compressor starter module be? I don’t see that on the breakdown. Do you have a part number?
  • In the videos on this web site there is a video called repacking compressor starter. I think the correct term is compressor overload protector. I ordered the part and will give it a try. I’m surprised that there are no errors codes to lead me in the right direction.
  • Hi Brian. I finally got the compressor overload protector part # DA34-00004D. It did not solve the issue. Previously replaced the Main Board and Inverter Board. There are NO CODES posting. Would the next part to replace be the compressor? When you buy a new compressor does it come with the service port or do you need to purchase separately? What other parts do I need to order? What tools do I need? Can kind of Torch and Flux, Soder, etc do I need?
  • Yes, sounds like the compressor is faulty at this point. As long as you have power to the inverter then the compressor must be faulty. You would need a process tube. The compressor usually does not come with one. You will need refrigerant gages, R-134A refrigerant, torches, brazing rods , Flux, a vacuum pump, etc. You could use a oxygen/ acetylene torches with brazing rods or a butane torches with silver solder and flux. I wouldn’t recommend this repair without having training and experience in sealed system repairs.
