Samsung Samsung RF23R6201SR 23 cu. ft. French Door Refrigerator with Twin Cooling Plus 2E Error Fix: Freezer Temperature Sensor Error

The freezer compartment temperature sensor (thermistor) has failed. The freezer cannot regulate temperature without this sensor, potentially leading to food spoilage or over-freezing. The thermistor is typically located behind the rear panel inside the freezer compartment. Unplug the refrigerator, remove the rear panel screws, and check the sensor connector. Test with a multimeter — resistance should change predictably with temperature (approximately 5 kilo-ohms at 77°F). Replace the thermistor if readings are erratic or open circuit.
