Everything else looks great (just make sure he installs it all and seals it). I guess it is possible your model year has the updated board. Mine was manufactured in May 2017 and the boards were definitely different. Manu date is on the sticker inside the fridge. Don't let him leave without sealing it or he's just wasting your time. The warm air from the fridge (especially when you open it in the summer) gets into the ice maker through the openings (see the video I posted) slightly melting the ice then it refreezes into a solid block. The circuit board was changed to update the defrost cycle.
Not sure how he can (properly) seal it without you leaving it off for a number of hours and fully defrosting and drying it. I guess worse case you could seal it yourself when he leaves.  |
You are right, Ed, on closer inspection hidden under some cardboard in the bottom of the box is the circuit board. My manuf. date is Oct. 2014. I joined the Samsung refrigerator recall FB page. Have learned that under the Magnussen Moss Act, you need 3 unsuccessful repairs to qualify for a total refund on the frig. from Samsung. You must first file a BBB New Jersey complaint against Samsung's home office in N.J. Then you get a call from them to set up a tech visit. Asurion is using UBreakIfix "Samsung-trained" techs to do the installs once the parts are mailed to you. You are NOT to direct the tech to do anything. If they screw up the install, so be it. Get it? 3 unsuccessful repairs. Asurion gave me the address for the UbreakitIfix in Ocala as 1725 SW 12th Ave., Ocala. It looks to be a vacant warehouse and no such co. resides there. So at the moment, I'm D.I.W. Called the local Villages store as well as the one on College Ave., Ocala, and neither said they work on refrigerators. Anyone looking for real good info on this matter should join the aforementioned FB page.
