Defrost Thermistor (Sensor)
This sensor monitors the temperature of the evaporator coils to signal the end of the defrost cycle. When it fails, the refrigerator may not enter defrost mode or may terminate it too early, causing ice to encapsulate the evaporator. This ice block prevents heat exchange and airflow, resulting in a 'not cooling' condition despite the compressor running.

Evaporator Fan Motor
The evaporator fan is responsible for pulling air across the cold coils and into the cabinet. In Samsung models, ice buildup from a faulty defrost system often physically jams the fan blades, leading to motor failure or a 'no cooling' symptom while the freezer remains cold. If the compressor is audible but no air is moving, this motor is the primary mechanical suspect.

Main Power Control Board
The main PCB controls the logic for both the inverter compressor and the defrost heater relays. If the board fails to send voltage to the cooling components or fails to interpret the sensor data correctly, the entire cooling loop will stay dormant. This is the recommended fix if the sensors and fans test within resistance specifications but the unit remains unresponsive.
