Samsung Refrigerator

  • Samsung RT18M 6213 WW/AA
    • Compressor MSV4A1AL1R/TT3
    • 0F364DBKB00391P

Problem

  • Even at "5 bars", refrigerator compartment won't cool more than 40 degrees below room temperature (can be 82F)
    • "Power Cool" temporarily lowers temperature more
  • Freezer compartment works fine at two bars

More information

  • In wooden kitchen compartment 33 inches wide, 68 inches high, 27 inches deep, with 3 inch space in back
    • Hot garage behind back wall - aluminum foil on wall minimizes radiant heat.
    • extra open space inside the back refrigerator compartment surrounding round black vent
  • Refrigerator very quiet - I would expect some compressor sound
  • Draws 3 to 100 watts, monitored with "Kill-a-Watt" digital meter
  • Added a 300 cubic/foot per minute floor vent blowing air at back left side
    • floor vent fan reduces maximum temperature excursion by 4F, but fan is noisy and consumes 40 more watts

Usage

  • Mostly use refrigerator for fresh food, dairy and lots of vegetables
  • Don't use ice or icemaker, not many frozen foods

Purchase and Warranty

  • Purchased 2019 July 9 for $648 from Home Depot 4401 SW 110th Ave Beaverton OR 97005

  • delivered 2019 July 22
  • added 3 year protection plan $90 ... but Home Depot doesn't answer phone within 40 minutes
