4 Answers

I just bought a Samsung RB29FSJNDWW Frost Free F.Freezer and it hardly ever switches off!
Correctly installed with the correct space surrounding it to allow air to circulate and flat to the floor - whatever I do it goes off only for about 30 mins then comes on agan for about two hours or more.
Checked the temp inside the fridge and freezer and they are about +5 and -20 respectively; which is as it should be.
I have turned the digital controls down to the minimum ie. +7 fridge and minus 15 for freezer, but this makes no difference.
The approved default settings in the manual are +3 and -19 but those are far too cold.
Any ideas before I call out the engineer. I have had it 10 days!
Thanks all

A couple of things spring to mind.

1) Is the room temperature high
2) What's either side of the Fridge/Freezer, and does it generate heat
3) How full is it. A full fridge /freezer is easier to keep cold than an empty one.
