RF267AARS/XAA Samsung Refrigerator - Instructions

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

I performed the repair to my own refrigerator, after watching multiple YouTube videos. I installed a secondary heater for the defrost coils and replaced the defrost sensor. The defrost sensor was actually bad. Today, 1/27/2024 I rechecked the fix from last week. All seems to be good so far.

If I get any build up of any ice on the bottom tray of the recessed panel where the drain port is located. I suspect I will also need a new Defrost Heater as well. For now the refrigerator is operating as expected. There is a small amount of ice build up as of today.

Also, I had recently replaced the drain tubes, added a longer heater element part to fit the drain hole, and cleaned the fins in the back of the refrigerator. Thank you.

Removed handles on Refrigerator and Freezer Door by forcing handles up by pushing in and lifting them up.
Unscrewed Phillips screws holding handle mounts to the handles.
Placed handle assemblies over the door mounts and slid them down to lock in place.

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.

YouTube the video on how to replace the ice maker. Unplugged the fridge, one screw was removed to open a small cover panel to access where the ice maker was plugged in, unplugged the ice maker, pushed a small locking clip and pulled the old ice maker off the keyhole slots holding it in place removing it from the fridge. Did the steps in reverse and reinstalled the new one. Plugged the fridge back in and reset the fridge by holding the energy saver and alarm button on the front door simultaneously for 8-10 seconds until it beeped. Took a few seconds and the fridge reset

Took off the plastic panel in the interior. As usual, the evaporator was completely iced up. Took most of the time to de-ice it with a heat gun. Tested the components and the temperature sensor was bad which is on the top end of the evaporator fins. The ohms test wasn't any different whether hot or cold. I keep a spare sensor on hand because this is the third time one of the sensors have failed. The proper readings are available by doing some internet searching. Its been two weeks since I worked on it and everything is working fine.

A couple of blogs said the freezer defrost sensor should be replaced, so I ordered one. Did not fix it. I did, however find a service manual online and one of the blog sites and it showed me how to remove the inside duct work. I discovered the fan the recirculates the air across the evaporator coil was not working. Ordered a new fan motor and installed it, fridge works perfectly now.

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

I removed all of the internal shelves from the refrigerator side. I then removed the cooling panels from the bottom area. this exposed the fan assembly and cooler. I found ice all over the unit. I had to unplug the refrigerator and used a hair dryer to melt the ice away. I then found the sensor and replace it. After putting the refrigerator back together, I plugged it in and let it cool overnight. I also put a thermometer to validate that cooling was stable. it has been a week with the new sensor and the refrigerator has not frozen over and has been very stable.

Extremely simple, remove the old tray brackets and snap the news one in place. Put just enough pressure till you here them click in place.

(1) Set ice production to OFF from the front panel of the refridgerator. (2) Inside the fridge, remove the screw holding the panel covering the cable for the ice naker assembly. (3) Remove the panel. (4) Disconnect the power cable of ice maker. (5) Holding the assembly with one hand, release the locking clip of assembly housing, and slide assembly forward until it is free. (6) Remove the ice maker assembly. (7) Install the new assembly by reversing the previous steps. (8) Reset the ice maker by pressing the reset button and holding it for at least 8 seconds. The first time the ice maker is primed with water, there are 2 chimes. (1 High , 1 Low).
