RF265AAWP (XAA-0000) Samsung Refrigerator - Instructions

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

A couple of blogs said the freezer defrost sensor should be replaced, so I ordered one. Did not fix it. I did, however find a service manual online and one of the blog sites and it showed me how to remove the inside duct work. I discovered the fan the recirculates the air across the evaporator coil was not working. Ordered a new fan motor and installed it, fridge works perfectly now.

replacing broken french door spring.

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.

The website offered next day delivery on the 2 parts I needed. It was $30 dollars for next day but I wanted it fixed so I chose it. After a few days I revived no parts. I checked the website and saw the 2 parts were on back order, however they took my payment along with the $30 for next day delivery. Obviously I never got it next, or ever, so I cancelled the order. At least I got my money back.

Held spring with needle nose pliers and slipped into place

Show how to fix it on YouTube so that helped a lot. I ordered a new spring gave all the correct information and the spring was too big that showed up
lol so had to go to Plan B an modified the broken spring lol works great now

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.

Used a pair of needle nose pliers and replaced the spring.

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

Replaced the spring on my French door refrigerator
Was super easy

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

Lifted out the broken part and replaced with new spring.

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

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.
