Factory-trained technicians
The go-to technicians for Samsung refrigerators & freezers in BC
Our technicians are factory-trained on Samsung, so we know the platforms, diagnostics and service procedures, in warranty or out.
Samsung refrigerator repair tends to follow familiar patterns, and the reasons are well known. Samsung's Canadian lineup runs from simple top-freezer units to French-door, four-door Flex and Bespoke models, some with Family Hub screens. Most mid- and upper-range models use Twin Cooling Plus, which gives the fridge and freezer their own evaporators and fans, paired with a Digital Inverter compressor that changes speed instead of simply cycling on and off. It holds humidity well. It also adds sensors, fans and defrost circuits that can fail, and the in-door ice makers on French-door models are a recognised weak point.
Fix Cheetah's technicians are factory-trained on Samsung refrigeration. They know how to run the forced-defrost and self-diagnostic routines, read stored fault codes and test the inverter board before anyone condemns a compressor. From our Surrey base we cover Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Coquitlam, Surrey, Langley, Abbotsford and Chilliwack, while our Whistler team looks after Squamish, Whistler and Pemberton. Homes on the Sunshine Coast, the islands and other ferry-dependent areas are served on scheduled trips. Every repair is quoted after inspection, and nothing is replaced without your approval.

5 Most Common Samsung Refrigerator Issues and How to Fix Them
Samsung ice maker freezing up
On French-door Samsungs the ice maker sits in the fresh-food door, so freezer air has to be ducted to it and kept sealed. When the compartment gasket wears, a heater fails or the ice fan falters, frost grows around the tray, auger and chute until it jams or drips water into the fridge. A 33E code points to the ice pipe heater, which keeps the fill tube from freezing. Thawing it with the fridge unplugged gets ice flowing for a while, but a lasting fix means replacing the heater, fan or seal behind it.
Samsung fridge not cooling but freezer works
With Twin Cooling, the fresh-food evaporator has its own fan and its own defrost cycle. If the defrost heater or sensor fails, that coil ices over and the fridge warms while the freezer carries on as normal. Code 22E flags the fridge fan, often frozen in place, and 5E flags the fridge defrost sensor. You may hear the fan scraping first. Check the vents at the back of the fridge aren't blocked by food. If a code appears, we run a forced defrost test and replace the failed part.
Samsung fridge leaking water inside
Water pooling under the crisper drawers, or a sheet of ice on the bottom of the fridge, usually means defrost water couldn't reach the drain. On Samsung models the drain can freeze if the evaporator has iced up or a drain heater has failed, so the meltwater spills into the cabinet instead. Empty the crispers, mop up and check the fridge isn't leaning forward. If the water comes back after the next defrost, we clear the ice and repair the defrost or drain heater that let it form.
Samsung fridge not cooling at all
When both sections warm up and you can't hear the compressor, the Digital Inverter system is the place to look. The fault can be the inverter control board, a loose or burnt connector, or the compressor itself, and the board fails more often than people expect. Check the breaker and the plug first, then make sure the display isn't showing a cooling-off mode. If the fridge is powered but silent, we test the board output, wiring and compressor windings before quoting, which often avoids an unnecessary sealed-system repair.
Samsung fridge display showing OF OF
OF OF means cooling is switched off, usually because the fridge is in display or showroom mode, and the lights work while nothing gets cold. The button combination to exit varies by model, so check your manual before pressing everything at once. Other codes are more specific: 39E points to the ice maker assembly, for example. Write down any code you see and when it appeared, then unplug for a few minutes to see if it clears. If it returns, we confirm the fault with testing before replacing parts.

Samsung Refrigerator Repair FAQ
Why does the ice maker in my Samsung French-door fridge keep freezing up?
Because it lives in the fresh-food door, so freezer air is ducted to it and has to stay sealed. A worn gasket, a failed compartment heater or a fan problem lets warm, moist air in, and it freezes around the mechanism. Thawing it buys a few weeks at most. A lasting fix means finding and repairing the part that let the frost form.
Is a Samsung fridge with a compressor fault worth repairing?
Often the compressor isn't the problem. On Digital Inverter models, the board that drives the compressor fails more often than the compressor does, and that's a much smaller repair. We test the board, wiring and windings first. If the sealed system really does need work, we explain the cost against the fridge's age and condition so you can decide.
Do you repair Samsung Family Hub and Bespoke refrigerators?
Yes. Behind the screen or the coloured panels, these models use the same kind of fans, sensors, defrost parts and ice makers as other Samsung French-door and four-door fridges, so the cooling side is diagnosed the same way. We also look at screen and Wi-Fi faults, and we take care with the decorative door panels when they need to come off.
