Samsung refrigerator error 22E – Evaporator fan failure
The 22E error code on Samsung refrigerators indicates an evaporator fan failure, which can lead to inefficient cooling and potential food spoilage.
Causes of the 22E error
- Frozen evaporator fan
Ice buildup around the fan prevents it from spinning properly.
- Faulty fan motor
If the motor is burned out, the fan will not function.
- Control board malfunction
A defective board may fail to send power to the fan.
- Damaged wiring
Loose or broken wires can disrupt the connection.
How to fix the 22E error
- Defrost the refrigerator
Unplug and let it thaw for 24 hours to remove ice buildup.
- Inspect the fan motor
Manually spin the fan to check if it moves freely.
- Check wiring connections
Ensure no wires are loose or damaged.
- Test the control board
If the fan motor and wiring are fine, the board may need replacement.
Pro tip
Keep the refrigerator doors closed as much as possible to maintain consistent cooling.
