samsung rf32cg5300sr freezer not freezing

So my samsung 3 door fridge is just over the year warranty. No samsung techs in my area. My local tech came out and said my condenser fan was not spinning fast enough, it must be no good. He said in the mean time put a small desk fan behind the fridge in front of the compressor and see if that causes the freezer to become cold again and freeze the items. I did that, It worked! freezer was ice cold, freezing the food and making ice. I ordered a samsung fan, $120.00 and replaced the old fan with a brand new one... thinking that would fix the issue.. It did not. I took the desk fan from behind the fridge, slid it back and expected the new condenser fan to work. My freezer became warm again, no ice and food thawing out. I put the desk fan back behind the fridge in front of the compressor, back to freezing and making ice.

In order to get a samsung tech to my area its going to cost almost $300.00!

Can anyone! explain why the desk fan works, and makes the freezer freeze everything like new but once its removed my freezer warms up.

YES, I checked the interior fan behind the back wall in the freezer it is working fine.

what could it be?!

Hi @reggiereyn24714

It could be a faulty power supply or operate control circuit for the condenser fan.

Here's the service manual for the refrigerator.

Go to p.91 to see how to perform the Self-diagnostic function during normal operation procedure and check what error code(s) is shown.

If it is a 23:C error go to p.98, 23 C-Fan error to see what is shows to check.

Also see p.105 RF32CG5300SRAA Model for load condition display mode information pertaining to your model refrigerator

If you find the problem and it is a faulty part that needs replacing, depending on the exact model variant number select the model appropriate to your model and then locate the wanted part in the parts list. Once you find the part, note the manufacturer's part number for the part, and then search online for the manufacturer's part number only, to find suppliers that suit you best.

on the inside panel of the refrigerator there are no codes showing. just fridge and freezer temps.

@reggiereyn24714

What happens when you press the Fridge Key + AutoFill Pitcher Key simultaneously for10 seconds, does it start the auto diagnosis tests?
