Samsung refrigerator issue

[Alex Halkias]

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

Wonder if her compressor is still working?

Have to agree they were some good films, near the knuckle but never something Kids couldn't watch.

Yep put a Carry on film on & that's mine in hysterics, to be fair they love most of the old comedy films.
One of my mates reckons we've brought them up wrong, they should be watching modern stuff.

 

[ruston]

Not a chance mate . have they seen the old St Trinians films?

 

[Specialist]

Yes mate, they've got them in a box set. Won't watch the new ones though, they can't stand them.
They love things like Steptoe & son, Laurel & Hardy, Norman Wisdom etc.
Not saying that I like them as well you understand

 

[ruston]

No. of course not , we have to sacrifice for the children, don't we?

What about the old Will Hey films ? Their concession to modern comedy is things like: Open all hours, Only fools & Horses, The Good life etc.

Definitely mate, that's what parents do

 

[ruston]

They have good taste then.

Mind you , The American stuff - I loved 'Happy Days'

Unusually, there's nothing good on TV today. They've decided they're worn out after a day out yesterday, so want to spend the day watching the All creatures great and small box set.
I just got volunteered to go shopping in Morrison's for snacks.
Ooh the torture, it's terrible

Happy days was brilliant, Joannie wasn't bad either.

Aah well better go get some snacks, have a good day buddy. Spare a thought for my suffering
