It has been a great fridge until the last year when we moved, i thought it maybe because its in the garage were we live now and not in the house like were we lived before

My mum gave me a thought ! their digital display vending machine at work does the same thing if its accidently unplugged or they have a power cut, an engineer comes and resets it without having to wait the 3 days like we do !!, so ive emailed samsung bumping my gums about it !, i will await their reply x

I've no idea, but it might be possible to get a power-cut back-up battery pack, like you get with laptops. So that enough electricity is stored for a short cut-out. Although it may be that fridges draw too much current to be able to do this.

That is a thought ollie, i`d hate to skip it, 1 its plumbed in ! and 2 it cost a fortune ! and its great having ice and filtered water on tap. i will consult him in doors ! who is electrician !!!!! but refuses to do anything electrical at home ! as he does it everyday at work ! is his excuse ...louise

We have a Samsung american style fridge-freezer too - never had that trouble with it (thankfully). Our leccy goes off frequently when I forget to top up the tokens

Our old one had a digital display and it was fine, could cope with being turned off and on as many times as you wanted (not that we did very often, obviously) so don't really understand why it should be any different and it does sound a bit like a design fault with that fridge rather than a general issue - are you sure the repair guy isn't taking the michael? Only replaced ours when it finally died after about 15 years and a night spend with the freezer door open (whoops!) which stained the motor somewhat.....

I cant beleive it !!!!!!! my hubby plugged the fridge in this morning to try it, and the digital display was still registering just one little green line on the display like it does when it refuses to come back on !!!! in a fit of temper he pressed the ice and water levers together ! and it reset the display ! it doesnt mention anything in the manual about this ! it was just sheer luck, all the food we have lost when we have had power cuts etc !!!!!

We have a perfectly ordinary fridge freezer (cheapest we could find as we were skint when the previous one stopped working). Only during the next winter after we had installed it in the shed did we discover that it doesn't operate in ambient temperatures below 10 degrees C. What use is a fridge-freezer that only freezes when above fridge temps??????

This is true of lots of freezers, I think all the frost free ones need to inside but not 100% sure but remember somebody having this problem when looking for one to put in the garage.
