"Customer says that the fridge started leaking from the back left corner of the fridge, near where the water line is attached to the machine. Also having issues with the freezer reaching 'hi temp' and the alarm going off. Fridge is pulled out and water is off on arrival. Measured temperatures of 39-44 in the fridge and 6-11 in the freezer. Tech checked isolation valve behind machine for a leak and confirmed that the waterline connecting the isolation valve to the filter/distribution valve is leaking. Tech removed line and found a burr on the end of the hose, which would prevent a proper o-ring seal from occurring. Cut off the connector and reinserted the line into the valve. Turned on water and ran 3 gallons of water through the machine. Zero leaks are now occurring at the valve. Measured temperatures again and they have stayed consistent in the fridge and have come down to 5-8 degrees in the freezer. Entered service mode to read sensors and confirm fans. Sensors are reading 37 and 5, currently, with a ff evaporator sensor reading of 13. Fresh food, freezer, and condenser fan all work on medium and full speeds. Tech finds no issues with the freezer at this time. Convertible drawer had a bag of shredded cheese closed in the door gasket which may have contributed to elevated temperatures over the past few days. Job is complete."

Job Details: 03/27/2025
"Customer says that the uS code appeared during the last wash cycle. Customer tried to run the unit empty and error still occurred. Tech ran a spun only cycle and code displays in less than 2 minutes. Tech removed the lid and inspected sensor for damage. Harness is bent over its self and may have led to damaged wiring, bit tech is uncertain due to the sheathing covering the wires. Tech removed the sensor to test it but found that the manufacturer has no testing procedure. They recommend replacement of the sensor, followed by replacement of the computer if issues occur. Tech reinstalled sensor and washer is actually now working without flagging codes. Tech provided quote for new sensor and customer declined at this time. Job is complete."

"Arrived at home and found significant leaking occurring from the fridge. Leak is occurring from the ice bin, which is melting. Tech checked errors and 40c is active. Tech called manufacturer as the ticket is high risk, to document. Tech spoke with high risk ticket agent and used visual support to document issues and review previous updates. Machine passes all tests and no components are faulty. Agent on the phone suggests replacing auger because of the error code. Tech explained that the error code is an effect, not a cause, of the root issue. Agent began to argue with technician, so tech defrosted and pulled the auger assembly out of the machine to prove that it is the fully update k type auger and is undamaged. High risk ticket agent documented all findings and indicated that Samsung would reach out to the customer in the next 3 to 5 business days to discuss further. Tech did not quote the auger assembly to the customer as it will not fix the issue. Job is complete as documentation has occurred."
