How to Check the Thermal Fuse in Your Refrigerator/Freezer
If your refrigerator/freezer stops running and cooling and will only work after it is unplugged then plugged back in, replacing the thermal fuse (thermistor) may be the answer to your problem. Here's how to check the thermal fuse to see if it needs replacing. The problem particularly affects Samsung units with model numbers that start with RB followed by four numbers, for example, RB1955VQ or RB2155SH. This one is model RB1955VQ. The best and most complete do-it-yourself instructions on the Internet! For more helpful how-tos, visit the doityourselfstan KZread channel @doityourselfstan or www.homefrontstan.com.

Thanks for this. I was looking to find the main board and your video was exactly what I was looking for.
The best vid. Thanks!
I was struggling to sleep this evening. Thankfully, I watched this, now I'm in a coma

Glad to be of help!
I am not that familiar with appliance repair technology but after many years as an electronics tech, I can say for a fact that a thermal fuse and a thermistor are two entirely different items. A thermistor is just what the name implies. It is a resistor that changes value with temperature. It is easily tested with an ohmmeter. Take a reading. If holding it between your fingrrs makes it change one way and touching it to ice makes it go the other, it is probably good. Shorted or open and it is bad. I guess it is possible to be out of range but not likely. A thermal fuse is also self descriptive and often found in things like coffee pots It has zero resistance and blows when the temperature excedes the value marked on the fuse. The thermistor is a temperature control sensor and a therrmal fuse is a protective one in case something goes wrong. The device in the fridge is a thermistor. Part of the same circuit is a thermostat. This is a bimetal, temperature sensitive switch switch, mounted on the evaporator coil to connect and disconnect the defrost heater at the correct temperatures.
There are glass fuses in the back of your fridge. Cant belive no one mentions this anywhere on you tube. Two little glass fuses inside the service panel. Defrost wasnt working. Just changed the fuse and it works now
THANKS
what brand fridge is this tia
Very Helpful this video and your channel! Thank you and keep adding more videos!

Is there another part to this that shows the actual thermal fuse location and replacement
Sir same type of cpb compressor not running what the solution?
if he says "carefully" once more ill scream

My wife says I'm always doing things too carefully. Now she has one more proof she is right! I will now just carefully hit this “reply” button … :)
But how do you replace the fuse if it is bad?

Did you tell us how to replace a bad thermal resistor or did i completely miss that?????😮
