Introduction

This guide applies when the control panel of your Samsung fridge is starting to act up.
-
In my case it was unresponsive to some buttons and the display showed incomplete digits
-
This might be relevant for a number of models.

-
In you want, you can pop out the control panel by putting a knife behind it.
-
This is not necessary but helps to identify the connections. In my case, pressing the top button connected connector pin 1 to ground (pin7) via a 10k resistor.

The problem in my case was the wiring loom that runs through the top hinge of the fridge door.
-
As you can see it is broken in multiple places. Its design is a bit poor as the plastic in the hinge is too sharp.
-
You can fix it by soldering and covering the connections in shrink tubing.
-
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
