RF23HTEDBSR 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.

unlock filter with pliers with a turn to the right, pull out and replace filter, Turner new filter to the left until it click in.

OPENED THE LEFT SIDE REFRIGERATOR DOOR WHERE THE DEFECTIVE MECHANISM WAS. GOT UP ON THE FIRST STEP OF THE STEP STOOL,REMOVED THE PHILLIPS HEAD RETAINING SCREW FROM THE BROKEN PART.PUT THE NEW CLOSING MECHANISM IN PLACE AND RE-INSTALLED THE PHILLIPS HEAD SCREW. STEPPED DOWN FROM THE STEP STOOL AND SHUT THE REFRIGERATOR DOOR.

Took out the screw, removed the broken part, put new part on, put retaining screw back in.

Basically just popped on the new door and took off the white handle from the old drawer snd snapped that on. Super Easy!!!

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.

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

It was easy! I just used an alan wrench to losen the side bolt, then slid the handle into the new mounting screws that I had hand-screwed and then tightened it all up.
