RF263BEAESG ((AA-0000)) Samsung Refrigerator - Instructions

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.

Slide Crisper Shelf in and snap into place.

Was incredibly easy.
1. Top front of fridge: remove cover, about 4 Philips Head screws, lift up and slide back, being careful of small wires (door position sensing magnetic switches).
2. We are working on the upper right door hinge: this was way too simple, there is a toggle lever that locks the upper bearing plate in position; flip toggle up and remove, remove hinge.
3. lower right hinge: using the metric Allen Key, unscrew the fasteners on hinge plate (right tightly, lefty loosey) turn counter clockwise to remove screws.
4. There exists a small black thimble sized bushing on the old hinge that goes onto the new one. It didn't come with the lower right hinge but is a part the fits onto the pivot. If you need a new one, remember it doesn't come with the hinge. (check the door for it too, maybe it got stuck in there.
Place the black bushing onto the new hinge pivot point; there is a slight flat in this part so you may need to rotate it before it will push on.
5. Mount new lower right hinge; using the metric Allen key, evenly screw in all screws, then put a final tightness (about the same torque effort to open a twist cap beer).
6. Now the door: make sure you placed the new upper hinge with arms reach on top of the fridge. Lift door, balance and bring it to the position slightly above where it will be in, lower it onto the lower right hinge pivot, allow the hinge to take the weight but hold the upper.
7. You are holding the door and need to place the upper right hinge into the door and also the mounting plate, this is easy and the door is not heavy. Once the upper hinge finds its location, you can put that metal toggle back on and swing down. It is not a tight fit, there is some wiggle room, that is normal. The plastic cover we removed in the first step, also prevents that latching toggle from being opened accidentally.
8. Put the plastic cover back, watch those small wires, screw torque is lightly, just screw them all back in but don't overly tighten.
9. The door is now back on!
Are we finished yet? We'll I thought I was too but the door height wasn't quite right. I went online and learned that the lower right hinge, also has an adjustment.
Open up the lower freezer door several inches.
Using a philips head screwdriver, at the bottom facing up, there is a hole where you put the screwdriver, screw clockwise to raise door. This is basically pushing up on that black plastic bushing you put back on the new hinge.

Since the ice maker was no longer able to empty ice and the problem was a large crack in the plastic housing right near where the internal screw connects to maker (which we were unable to fix with something simple like tape) we simply had to swap out the whole ice maker. It was just the process of pulling the old one out and sliding the new one in.

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.
