Samsung RS2630SH/XAA-00 refrigerator Parts

The Samsung RS2630SH side-by-side refrigerator is typically about 38 1/2 in. wide x 75 3/4 in. tall x 39 1/2 in. deep (depth can vary depending on handles and door clearance). For the exact published dimensions for your unit, use the RS2630SH owner's manual.

How to measure your RS2630SH correctly

Use a tape measure and record in inches.

• Width: measure the cabinet at the widest point (not the doors swung open)
• Height: floor to top of hinge cover (include hinge area if it sits higher than the cabinet)
• Depth (cabinet): back panel to front edge of cabinet (no doors)
• Depth (with doors): back panel to front of doors
• Depth (with handles): back panel to the furthest point on the handles
• Clearance: add space for doors to open and for airflow behind the refrigerator

Typical clearance guidelines (why spacing matters)

Most side-by-side refrigerators need breathing room for condenser airflow and enough swing space for the freezer door and fresh food door.

Location	Typical minimum clearance	Why it matters
Back	1 to 2 in.	Helps heat release and cooling efficiency
Sides	1/8 to 1/2 in.	Prevents rubbing and vibration noise
Top	1 in.	Improves airflow and reduces heat buildup
Front	As needed for doors	Ensures full bin and shelf access

Why it matters

Accurate dimensions help us confirm fit for delivery paths, alcoves, and door swing. They also prevent cooling problems caused by tight installation, which can lead to warm temperatures and extra compressor run time.

The most common issues we see on the Samsung RS2630SH side-by-side refrigerator involve ice and water dispensing problems, warm temperatures from airflow or fan failures, and intermittent cooling tied to compressor start components. Use the RS2630SH owner's manual to confirm control settings and basic checks before replacing parts.

Common problems and what they usually point to

• Not making ice or slow ice production: freezer temperature too warm, ice maker area iced up, dispenser components sticking.
• Water dispenser not working or weak flow: restricted filter or supply, frozen water line, dispenser switch issue.
• Warm fridge or freezer: evaporator fan not running, blocked vents, heavy frost buildup.
• Clicking then no cooling: start relay or overload protector failing.
• Leaking at the dispenser area: drip tray overflow, loose tubing connection.

Quick checks we recommend first

1. Verify temperatures: freezer near 0°F, fresh food near 37°F.
2. Make sure air vents are not blocked by food packages.
3. Listen for the evaporator fan; a stalled fan often causes warming and frost.
4. Check the water supply valve is fully open and the line is not kinked.
5. Inspect for ice buildup around the ice room or air channels.

Parts that commonly solve these symptoms

Symptom	Likely part area	Example part on this model
No ice dispensing	Dispenser solenoid or switch	Refrigerator ice dispenser solenoid DA74-40151G or refrigerator dispenser switch DA34-00011B
Warm temps, poor airflow	Fan motor/assembly	Refrigerator fan motor DA31-00103A or refrigerator fan assembly DA31-00010F
Clicking, won’t start	Start components	Refrigerator compressor start relay DA35-10013Q or refrigerator compressor overload protector DA34-10003S
Water leaks at dispenser	Tubing connection or tray	Refrigerator water tube fitting DA60-00258B or refrigerator dispenser drip tray DA63-02990B

Why it matters

Ice, water, and airflow issues can look like “no cooling,” but they often trace back to a single component (fan, damper, dispenser switch, or start relay). Catching the right symptom early helps prevent food spoilage and repeat repairs.

The Samsung RS2630SH side-by-side refrigerator has a total capacity of about 25.8 cu. ft. For the exact breakdown (refrigerator vs. freezer space) and any configuration notes, we recommend confirming in the RS2630SH owner's manual.

Capacity details you may want to confirm

Capacity is usually listed as total volume, plus separate fresh food and freezer volumes. Check these items in the manual:

• Total capacity (cu. ft.)
• Refrigerator compartment capacity
• Freezer compartment capacity
• Shelf and bin configuration notes that affect usable space
• Ice maker and in-door dispenser space impact

Quick reference

Spec	What it means	What to expect
Total capacity	Combined refrigerator + freezer volume	25.8 cu. ft.
Usable space	What you can practically store	Slightly less than total due to shelves, bins, ice maker

Why it matters

Knowing the capacity helps when you are comparing replacement refrigerators, planning food storage, or troubleshooting airflow issues (overpacking can block vents and reduce cooling performance).
