I would suggest checking Samsung's website for customer support and authorized dealers. If no help there, check with a local big box electronic store -- they usually can give you the info you are seeking.

Check the internet for your model---mine quit working because of a fan--I went online and found info on removing the back cover and just cleaning the fans and their filters---TV working fine after cleaning...I have had to do it two or three times and it works great until cleaning needed again...

Your best bet would be not to waste your time trying to repair it; replace it. I had nothing but trouble with this unit. Samsung and I sent it back and forth about a half dozen times, in and out of warranty. They always claimed it was fixed; it wasn't. The fan finally conked out on it and capacitors exploded, arced, and flamed. We're lucky the thing didn't start a major fire. Do yourself a huge favor and junk it.

Julie, I have the whole fan unit that I installed but a customer didn't like it, you can buy the one I have. It was barely used. $30 cash ok? Greg - acrescue@rocketmail.com

In my case the fan was only running on one speed but the light worked. I took it apart and found this part had a burnt spot. I replaced it and everything has worked fine. Good luck

If the fan is not working, the fan is dead. The fans are really cheap to replace. Contact David Chan at AZZA COMPTER (714) 990-5625 for a replacement fan. The fan should be about $ 15.00. You will have to send him a personal check. He will tell you where to send it. Make sure you tell him you need him to send you the 230mm fan.

You should have a one year warranty on this. Contact the manufacturer for how to have warranty work done. I also had the fan and display go out - had to return for warranty work.

You may have to scab in the connector from the old fan (solder or wire nuts will work)

If you are comfortable removing the PU. A PC repair shop can load test it for you and check to see if the fans doing its job. May need a check up anyway if the unit is several years old. A failing PU can really ruin your day.

I would check with the manufacturer. They were great at replacing a bad control panel. Hope this helps.

Double check in the owners manual for hints. Or call the company for their take on this. If nothing else I concur with others, replace the unit.

You can fix the fan yourself. This user posted a video showing how to do it:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjRDjOL8nCYMy penguin model started to develop a whirr, so I followed the instructions in the video and it's now back to quiet. If your fan is totally dead and you're out of warranty, it's easy to replace. It's just a standard 2-pin 80 mm computer fan. They run about $5 on eBay. Unscrew four to six screws on the bottom of the basin, lift off the top or bottom section, unscrew four screws holding the fan, disconnect the fan connector (it's not soldered, just attaches to a pair of pins on the control board,) plug in the new fan and replace the screws.

Unfortunately you have not provided enough info on your problem. In general, if it is a hardware problem, like it no longer turns on, it is not worth spending my on repairing these gadgets as it would be more money fixing them than buying a new one. If it is a configuration problem, then you can download user manual from the web or if you have backed up your unit, then reload your old configuration.

Sorry I cannot help you there. When I bought mine I am not sure if the fan was defective but when I turned it on it bearly, I mean bearly blew any heat, so I sent it back to Amazon and did not get a new one.

did you install it, sounds like a loose connection, need to strip back more insulation on the wires that go from stranded wire to solid wire maybe, if not the fan is most likely defective

If you have the tools and experience, I'd say check the connections. Other than that, get in touch with the company and get a new one.
