heat dissipation pipes of side walls

Samsung refrigerators consist of two basic components:

 

condenser coil and an evaporator coil. A liquid coolant is circulated through these coils by a Compressor and a Motor. The refrigerant liquid is cooled in the condenser; it then flows to the evaporator. At the evaporator, the air in the unit is cooled by contact with the liquid-filled coil.

 

Causes of side wall heating:

  • Hot pipes are installed on the side walls of the refrigerator.
  • Wall clearance between the back of refrigerator and wall.

Resolution

  • Side Wall Heating in all models and Rear Wall heating are normal. It is designed to improve refrigerator performance.

Benefits of Condenser coils:

  • Gas leakage is completely prevented since the condenser coils are placed in side wall
  • Minimum space is required for installation refrigerator since the back side is completely closed


Wall Clearance:

  • Keep refrigerator away from wall for better performance
  • Do not cover the refrigerator
  • The sides of the refrigerator may get warm, this is designed to reduce moisture condensation and not a malfunction

Points to be remember

 

  • Check refrigerator body heating on both the sides with hand.
  • Do not keep & hold the hands for longer time
  • Side wall and front edges of the refrigerator may get warm during operation
  • Side wall temperature may increase by 10℃ approx from the room temperature
  • In particular, a lot of heat may be generated during a hot summer or during the initial installation and operation of the product, but it is not a malfunction if cool air comes out well inside the refrigerator
  • Occasionally, the side of the refrigerator may feel hotter than usual immediately after a certain period of inactivity or after receiving after sales service, but this occurs in the process of circulating gas and gradually changes to a similar level as the temperature gradually cools
  • If the side of the refrigerator is extremely hot even after checking all of the above, please contact the Samsung customer care

Note: If the side of the refrigerator is extremely hot even after checking all of the above, please contact the Samsung customer care.
