Samsung Refrigerator Fuse Block Replacement

Introduction

This guide shows how to remove and replace the fuse block or fuse board in your Samsung refrigerator.

The fuse block contains a number of fuses soldered on a circuit board and is made to be replaced as a whole unit. If your refrigerator doesn't power on at all, you may need to replace the fuse block.
