Greetings
I am facing the following issue with my side-by-side Samsung refrigerator:
For a while now the appliance has been making an increasingly annoying nose. After some research and testing, I have confirmed it originates from the refrigerator section, towards the top. This noise stops and normal operation resumes after making a 24 - 48 hours defrost, which entails transferring stored items in another refrigerator and unplugging the problematic refrigerator for the time needed. I have reached to the safe conclusion that the cause of the malfunction is ice accumulation. I understand that this is quite normal and that running a manual defrost every several months is perhaps justified. However, in this case, the noise returns after only 2 weeks or so! From that, I assume (even though I am not certain) that there is something wrong with the automatic defrost cycle/mechanism of the unit, to explain why ice builds up so rapidly.
I would rather fix this problem myself, so any instructions would be very welcome.
Below are the details of the refrigerator:
Brand: Samsung
Model: SS22WG1/EUR
Model code: 4377
Serial number: 43CN400032 E
Thanks
