RF28HFEDTSRAA Samsung Refrigerator - Instructions

This is the Samsung French door refrigerator style that so many people have complained about freezing up and not cooling the top section. I first changed out the defrost thermostat and this did not correct the problem. I done a quick resistance check on the temp sensor that's mounted on the evaporator itself. The resistance would change when holding an ice cube on the sensor so I just assumed it was ok. PLEASE TAKE NOTE: When performing a resistance check on this sensor, make sure your readings match the Samsung temp/resistance chart in their literature. My sensor was way off calibration and was causing the freeze up. Its working as designed now and DW is happy again. Learn from my mistake.

Took shelving out of freezer removed panel. Took second panel
out and removed motor. Whole repair took 45 minutes. Works perfect

I simply removed the old container & carefully removed all built up ice from the area that was to house the new container. This site helped me find the correct container in minutes. Will definitely use them again.

Removed shelves. Removed back cover. Removed old sensor. Installed new sensor. Replaced back cover. Replaced shelves. Works fine.

Since the ice maker was no longer able to empty ice and the problem was a large crack in the plastic housing right near where the internal screw connects to maker (which we were unable to fix with something simple like tape) we simply had to swap out the whole ice maker. It was just the process of pulling the old one out and sliding the new one in.
