RF268ABBPXAA Samsung Refrigerator - Instructions

Used pliers to put new spring in place;
Time took about 3seconds and I’m a female. Video provided very helpful.

Used a pair of needle nose pliers and replaced the spring.

I removed the old spring along with the sleeve and inserted the new one in its place. used a small screw driver to remove the sleeve and inserted the sleeve side in first. took 5 minutes..

After purchasing the spring I realized the hinge was the culprit. It has the retainer for the spring as part of it, a small plastic piece that broke off cause the spring to get lost. The hinge replacement was a little more in depth but the video on the hinge is very good and on point.

removed the front food tray
removed the broken ice maker shut off arm from the left side of the ice maker using a short Phillips screw driver, very little room between the
ice maker and the side of the fridge.
secured the new ice maker shut off arm with the same Phillips head
screw, the arm self positions via a locating notch

Placed one end of the new spring in left hole and used the needle nose pliers to insert the other end of the spring in the right hole.

Spent a dollar 1.97 on the spring.7.00 on shipping and fixed it in less than 5 minutes.Fantastic

Placed lower spring leg in hole first. Manipulated upper spring leg into upper hole with needle nose pliers.

Held spring with needle nose pliers and slipped into place

had to replace the spring on the Mullion door . the how to video helped however the demonstration shows putting the spring on in the opposite way that my door calls for, so just I turned the spring around and done, other than that easy as pie.
thanks

Partselect made the repair process incredibly easy by linking a how-to video that explained exactly what to do. Without the video, I was trying to take the whole washer apart, but the video noted a convenient opening that provided easy access.
This is my second experience with Partselect, and I am definitely a fan. How you can maintain a stockpile of parts for so many appliances (as well as providing installation guidance for at least some items) is remarkable. Thanks.
