RF197ABBP Samsung Refrigerator - Instructions

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.

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.

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.

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

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

replacing broken french door spring.

Held spring with needle nose pliers and slipped into place

Replaced the spring on my French door refrigerator
Was super easy

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.

Lifted out the broken part and replaced with new spring.

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.

after receiving spring installed spring in seconds. Thanks partselect.com Ryan Cappell

pushed new spring in.

The replacement was fairly simple. I removed the existing tray and detached the water line. Once the water line water reattached to the new tray I inserted into the ice maker.

*** The problem I'm having now is the water is not filling up the tray***
Not sure what I did wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
