Samsung RF18A5101

Model # RF18A5101

Samsung lists the RF18A5101 as a 18 cu. ft. 3-door French door refrigerator – its own page reads 3-Door French Door 33″ & Auto Ice Maker All-Around Cooling | 18 cu.ft.. On the RF18A5101 the ice maker sits in the upper fresh-food door, which is why frost in the ice room and a slow water fill are the two complaints we hear about it most.

We measure both compartments of the RF18A5101 before opening anything, because a cold freezer beside a warming fresh-food section points at airflow between them far more often than at the compressor.

FAQ

Samsung RF18A5101 FAQ

Not usually. On the RF18A5101, OF OF or scrolling bars on the display means Cooling Off mode - the showroom setting - was switched on by a button combination. The owner’s manual for the RF18A5101 gives the combination to turn it off; no part is involved unless the cabinet stays warm after that.

On the RF18A5101, Samsung’s US refrigerator article lists 22E and 22C as the fresh-food fan code. On the RF18A5101, that fan sits behind the rear panel of the fresh-food section; it stops when frost locks the blade or the motor fails. With the RF18A5101 switched off at the breaker and the shelves out, the panel can be removed and the fan checked for ice - if it is frost-bound the defrost circuit is the real problem, and if it is clear the motor is.
