RF18HFENBSR Samsung Refrigerator - Instructions

The installation video notes that the door mullion spring has a bent end, and that the bent end of the spring is to be inserted into the LOWER hinge. However, on my refrigerator door, the bent end of the door mullion spring must be inserted into the UPPER hinge in order for the door to function properly. (Also noted that in your video t ... Read more he installer manually closed the door mullion rather than just closing the refrigerator door, another indication that the installation of the spring was incorrect.) After watching the video several times to confirm I was installing the door mullion spring according to the video instructions, I tried inserting the bent end of the door mullion spring into the upper hinge, which proved to be the correct installation of the door mull spring. What should have been a 5 minute repair turned into an ½ hour repair.

Went to You Tube and saw video on how to replace broken mullion spring. Ordered part online (more than one in case one broke -very cheap <$3.00 per part). Watched video twice and was able to follow instructions and insert spring correctly. Not difficult if you pay attention to details on how the spring must fit and which end goes wher ... Read more e. The door works perfectly!

There is a pretty good video about this on youtube, but complications arose nonetheless. The replacement spring supplied by Partselect is a bit different from the original in two ways. First, it is made of heavier-gauge wire; this is a good thing for durability, but it makes installation tougher. Second, the ends of the spring, which a ... Read more re bent at right angles to the spring axis in order to fit into the plastic sleeves that hold the spring ends, are far too long. Once I figured this out, i snipped the ends down by a quarter inch or so, and they fit into the sleeves just fine after a certain amount of persuasion from needle-nose pliers. All things considered, it was a bit harder than it should have been, but the door works now, so all is well.

Pull out old one from right top. Wipe track with a cloth and some Windex. Wipe with clean cloth place gasket over where it will replace old. Start right top push into track. Time 10 minutes once all seated again go over the entire gasket check all in track push with thumb easy replacement!!

I didn't do the repair because you sent me the wrong part.That was mislabeled. Then you want me to ship it back but didn't pay for the shipping?And that would be twelve dollars so it's going in the trash!! Very displeased

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

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.

I watched several repair videos and decided I could do this because I have been doing mechanical work for over fifty years.The videos convinced me it needed replaced it is a 2009 model I bought new. I ordered the new part from parts select it came in 3 or 4 days.The hardest part was removing the freezer door and reinstalling when I was do ... Read more ne.That wasn’t complicated just awkward.Removing the ice maker was simple and replacing it with the new one was easy.There was a protective plate on the front of the old one that wouldn’t fit on the new one.So I left it off.So far it has been working very well.
