What are the dimensions of the Samsung RF28HDEDBSR?
For the Samsung RF28HDEDBSR bottom-mount refrigerator, the overall size is typically 35 3/4 inches wide and about 70 inches tall; depth varies by whether handles and hinges are installed. For the exact configuration measurements for your kitchen cutout, use the dimensions listed in the RF28HDEDBSR owner's manual.
Common dimension sets you’ll see
Refrigerator dimensions are usually listed in a few ways because hinges and handles change the depth and height.
- With hinges, handles, and doors: largest overall footprint
- With hinges and doors, no handles: slightly shallower
- Without hinges and doors: smallest cabinet-only size (useful for moving through doorways)
- Weight: matters for flooring and moving
Typical dimensions for this model family
These are the commonly referenced measurements for RF28HDEDBSR-STYLE French door units; confirm the exact numbers for your revision in the manual.
| Measurement style | What it includes | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| WxHxD (with hinges, handles, doors) | Full installed size | Cabinet planning |
| WxHxD (with hinges and doors, no handles) | No handles | Tight depth clearances |
| WxHxD (without hinges and doors) | Cabinet only | Moving and doorway fit |
Why it matters
A difference of even 1 to 2 inches in depth can determine whether the doors open fully, the ice maker bin clears, or the refrigerator sits flush with surrounding cabinets. We also recommend leaving airflow clearance behind and above the unit as specified in the manual.
Related parts that affect fit and function
If you’re measuring because of door swing, sealing, or ice and water clearance, these parts are commonly involved:
- Door alignment and swing hardware (hinges)
- Door center seal components (flipper/mullion)
- Ice storage and dispensing components
- Water filter and water inlet components

What is metal cooling in a Samsung refrigerator?
Metal cooling in a Samsung refrigerator is a metal panel on the back wall of the fresh food compartment that helps hold cold temperatures and recover faster after the door is opened. For your Samsung RF28HDEDBSR, feature details and care guidance are in the RF28HDEDBSR owner's manual.
What metal cooling does
- Reduces temperature swings during frequent door openings
- Helps the compartment cool back down faster after loading groceries
- Adds temperature stability during heavy-use periods
- Works with normal airflow from vents and fans (it is not a fan)
What it does not do
- It does not make the refrigerator colder than the temperature you set
- It does not fix cooling problems caused by frost buildup, blocked vents, or failed components
- It does not replace proper door sealing and correct temperature settings
Quick checks to get the best cooling performance
- Set fresh food to about 37°F and freezer to about 0°F
- Keep packages from blocking interior air vents and the back wall
- Confirm doors close fully and gaskets seal all the way around
- Clean dust from the condenser area so heat can dissipate
When cooling is inconsistent, these parts are more often involved
| Symptom | System to check | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Temps swing up and down | Temperature sensing | Refrigerator temperature sensor DA32-10104N |
| Frost buildup, warm fridge | Defrost system | Refrigerator defrost heater DA47-00244U |
| Weak cooling, poor heat removal | Condenser fan/coil | Refrigerator condenser coil and fan motor assembly DA97-13784B |
Why it matters
More stable temperatures help food last longer and reduce warm-ups from normal door openings, especially in busy kitchens.

Replacement tips (best results)
