Cuwtomer says that c-10 is occurring when she tries to run her reheat cycles. Tech ran a dinner reheat cycle and c-10 error occurs after roughly 1 minute. Tech looked at documentation and found that the error related to the humidity bulb failing. Samsung has an onboard test to check the sensor. Tech ran the test and found the sensor reading '213'. The manual says that if the sensor reads '213' then it is failed. A good sensor should read '15-158'. Tech provided a quote for a new humidity bulb and the customer approved. Tech placed the part on order and will return next week for installation. Job is not complete. **second appliance fee collected on this ticket as well; ordrng 1 DE32-60011A (GAS SENSOR)

"Tech met with customer early and began inspection of the garage fridge. Interior lights work but all other operations are not functioning. User interface panel does.not illuminate when keys are pressed. Tech pulled the fridge away from the wall and removed the computer cover. Three capacitors have vented and are failed. Tech used a jumper to energize the compressor and the compressor is working well. After 4 minutes, the discharge line is beginning to get hot, confirming that refrigerant flow is occurring. Tech gave a discounted quote for repair and the customer approved. Tech installed an updated main computer, vacuumed the.condenser coil, and reattached the condensate drain line. Machine immediately powers on and all operations have been restored. Tech finds no additional issues and the fridge just needs time to cool back down. Job is complete."

I was very happy with Derek’s service. He’s very personable. Not as happy with the estimate for replacement part but that is not his fault.
