Sample Model Number Tags
Model numbers can be made up of numbers (1005400, for example) or a combination of letters and numbers (LAT1000AAE). The model number will most likely appear on either a paper sticker or a metal plate. Your appliance's model number tag may look similar to the sample model number tags shown here (model number highlighted in yellow):
This is a French door hinge that is compatible with various models of refrigerators and is used to control the mullion (long plastic strips) on the inside portion of the French doors. If you notice that your doors open and the mullion either moves freely or is stuck, this hinge needs to be replaced immediately to prevent issues with frost buildup, energy efficiency and temperature fluctuations. Replacing this hinge is quite simple, and you will only need a flathead and Philips-head screwdriver to do it. First, remove the screw covers from the securing screws for the mullion. Unscrew and remove the securing screws with your Philips-head screwdriver, and then pull the mullion up and out carefully to dislodge it from the fridge door. Near the middle of the mullion, disconnect the wire harness to remove the mullion completely. Remove the hinge cover with a flathead screwdriver to expose the hinge, and then carefully remove and replace the old hinge onto its attaching spring. Then you can simply reassemble the rest of the door assembly, along with the hinge cover and wire harness.

Perfect Fit
This is the exact part I had been searching for my RV Samsung door flapper. This was the second time I had issues with this spring loaded door flapper plastic attachment. I purchased two knowing full well there will be another issue in the future. It was a perfect fit.

pretty easy repair
the three hinges on a samsung double-door fridge have a tendency to break if the door is slammed with the air barrier in the open position. I've replaced bottom hinge twice, top hinge twice, and center hinge and heater cover once. Fortunately You Tube has several videos about the process. The first times I did the hinges I remover the vertical part and did the repair on the range. The last time I disassembled it all in place and did it (with occasional beeping to remind me that the door was open) in place. Easier to do it in place. Tools required: Duct tape, small flat head screwdriver of butter knife. If I can do it, you can do it too.

French door hinge replacement
I only am giving this 3 stars because I ordered one of these and it broke after only two weeks, so I ordered two more and replaced it 1 week ago so far no issues.

Top hinge on door mullion has come off of mullion. Will not allow door to close correctly. Does not appear broken
For model number Rf266abpn
Hi Michael, thank you for your question. This part has a pin and a spring that go along with that part and it should snap into place. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.
