Quick answer
We repair Samsung refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens and microwaves in Philadelphia and nearby suburbs.

We are an independent service, not affiliated with Samsung.
Common Samsung problems
| Appliance | Problem | Likely cause |
|---|---|---|
| Refrigerator | Ice maker stops or ice is stuck | Frost buildup, defrost heater, fan, ice maker assembly |
| Refrigerator | Fridge section warm | Evaporator fan, defrost system, sensor, board |
| Refrigerator | Water leak | Defrost drain, water line, filter |
| Washer | UE or uE code | Unbalanced load or sensor, see washer not spinning |
| Washer | 5C, SC or 5E code | Drain pump or clog, see washer not draining |
| Washer | LC or 4C code | Water leak or supply problem |
| Washer | dC or dE code | Door lock or door switch |
| Dryer | HC or HE code, no heat | Heating element, thermal fuse, vent, see dryer not heating |
| Dishwasher | Not draining, leaks | Pump, filter, door seal, see dishwasher not draining |
| Range or oven | Not heating, display fault | Element, igniter, sensor, board |
Codes help, but a code points to an area, not a part. We test before we replace.
Samsung notes by appliance
Refrigerators. Many Samsung french door models have an ice maker in the freezer door or the fresh food section. A frozen fill tube or frost on the evaporator is a common reason ice stops. A one off thaw can help, but a repeat problem is usually a failed defrost heater or sensor. See ice maker repair and refrigerator not cooling.
Washers. Front loaders are sensitive to load balance and level. A UE code with an even load may mean a worn shock absorber, a loose suspension or a bad sensor. Drain codes are often a clogged pump filter, behind a small panel at the front bottom.
Dryers. Heat problems are mostly the thermal fuse, the thermistor or the element, and a blocked vent is the usual root cause. A vent clean often goes together with the repair.
Boards and parts. Samsung controls are more integrated than older brands. If a board is bad, we quote the board and compare it to the age of the machine before you decide.

Repair or replace
Use the 50 percent rule: if the quote is more than half the price of a new similar model, compare carefully. Typical lifespans are 10 to 13 years for washers and dryers, and 13 to 17 for refrigerators. Under warranty, contact Samsung first. See the cost guide.
