Samsung files the RZ40H11PET under refrigerators on its own site, and its page describes it as Convertible Upright Freezer Full-Flex Convertible | Precise Cooling 11.4 cu. ft. – a 11.4 cu. ft. single-door column that can run as a freezer or as a refrigerator. Mechanically that means one evaporator behind a rear cover, one fan, a defrost heater with its sensor, and an inverter compressor underneath; the convertible mode only changes the temperature the control aims for.
A RZ40H11PET that runs but will not hold temperature is worked through in the same order as a refrigerator freezer compartment: frost pattern and airflow first, then the defrost circuit, then the fan and the electrical controls, with the sealed system last. With the unit isolated at the breaker and thawed, the evaporator cover comes off and the parts a sign points at are measured rather than replaced on suspicion.
