Samsung RF24R7201SR/AA-04 refrigerator Parts

If the bottom ice maker in your Samsung RF24R7201SR isn’t making ice, the most common causes are a blocked water supply, a frozen fill tube, incorrect freezer temperature, or an ice maker assembly issue. We recommend checking airflow and water flow first, then moving to component checks using the RF24R7201SR owner's manual.

Quick checks that fix most “no ice” problems

• Confirm the ice maker is turned on (not in Off mode).
• Make sure the freezer is cold enough; target 0°F for normal ice production.
• Dump old/clumped ice and fully reseat the bin so the shutoff sensor can read it.
• Check the dispenser area for air leaks or frost around the chute; a leaking chute can cause icing.
• Verify the water line behind the refrigerator is not kinked and the shutoff valve is fully open.

Water supply and fill problems (most common)

A bottom ice maker needs steady water pressure and an open path to the mold. If water is slow or absent, focus on the inlet side.

What to inspect

What you see	Likely cause	What to do
No water enters ice maker	Valve not opening or no supply	Check house shutoff; consider replacing the refrigerator water inlet valve DA62-04027A
Ice maker has small/hollow cubes	Low water flow	Replace the Samsung refrigerator water filter HAF-QIN and flush water lines
Ice maker area has frost/ice buildup	Fill tube or drain area freezing	Defrost the area; inspect drain components and airflow

When to suspect a failed ice maker or sensor

If water supply is good and the freezer is at temperature but the ice maker still won’t cycle, the ice maker module or temperature sensing can be the issue.

• If the ice maker won’t harvest or won’t cycle after a reset, replace the refrigerator ice maker assembly DA97-18859A.
• If temperatures seem erratic (ice maker works sometimes, then stops), a sensor issue can contribute; check the refrigerator temperature sensor DA32-10104N.

Why it matters

Ice makers are sensitive to temperature and water flow. A slightly warm freezer, restricted filter, or weak inlet valve can stop ice production completely or cause slow, hollow cubes.

If your Samsung RF24R7201SR refrigerator section is cooling but the freezer is warm, the most common causes are restricted airflow from frost/ice buildup, an evaporator fan problem, or a defrost issue. Start with a full manual defrost and basic airflow checks, then move to fan and sensor diagnostics using the owner's manual.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Make sure the freezer door is sealing and closing fully (no bins or packages holding it open).
• Confirm the freezer temperature is set correctly; typical target is 0°F.
• Check for heavy frost on the rear freezer panel (a strong sign of a defrost or airflow problem).
• Verify vents are not blocked by food packages (air must circulate).
• Clean condenser coils and ensure good airflow around the cabinet.

What usually causes “fridge cools, freezer warm”

Likely cause	What you’ll notice	What to do next
Frosted/iced evaporator cover blocking airflow	Frost on rear panel, weak airflow	Manual defrost 24 hours; then monitor
Evaporator fan not running	Little or no air movement, warmer freezer	Inspect/replace refrigerator evaporator fan motor DA31-00334D
Temperature sensing issue	Temps swing, unit runs oddly	Check/replace a sensor such as refrigerator temperature sensor DA32-10104N
Control/defrost problem	Frost returns quickly after defrost	Check wiring/connectors; consider control diagnosis

Step-by-step: manual defrost reset (safe first move)

1. Move food to a cooler.
2. Unplug the refrigerator.
3. Leave freezer door open for 24 hours (towels for melt water).
4. Plug back in and allow 24 hours to stabilize temperatures.

Why this matters

A manual defrost clears ice that can block the evaporator and air passages. If the freezer cools normally afterward but fails again within days, that points strongly to a defrost-system or airflow component problem (fan, sensor, or control).

When parts are commonly involved

• If the freezer is warm and you do not hear/feel airflow, the refrigerator evaporator fan motor DA31-00334D is a common fix.
• If temperatures are inaccurate or inconsistent, a sensor such as the refrigerator temperature sensor DA32-10104N can be the root cause.

For the Samsung RF24R7201SR refrigerator, the compatible water filter listed for this model is part number HAF-QIN. Use the filter part number when ordering, and follow the replacement and reset steps in the RF24R7201SR owner's manual to restore water flow and clear the filter indicator.

The correct filter to order

On this model’s parts list, the water filter is shown as:

• Samsung refrigerator water filter part number HAF-QIN
• Replace the filter when water flow slows, ice cubes get smaller, or the filter light comes on
• After installing, flush water through the dispenser to clear air and carbon fines

If you are comparing packaging or listings, match the filter part number first (HAF-QIN) rather than a marketing description.

Quick replacement checklist

• Turn off the ice maker (optional but recommended while swapping filters)
• Remove the old filter and install the new HAF-QIN filter fully seated
• Dispense and discard several minutes of water to purge air from the line
• Check for leaks around the filter head and housing
• Reset the filter indicator using the steps in the RF24R7201SR owner's manual

Common “wrong filter” symptoms

What you notice	What it usually means	What to do
Filter will not twist/lock in	Wrong style or not aligned	Reinstall carefully; confirm HAF-QIN
Water dispenses slowly right after install	Air in the line or new filter media	Flush water for several minutes
Leaking at filter area	Filter not fully seated or damaged O-rings	Reseat; replace filter if O-rings are nicked

Why it matters

Using the correct filter part number for RF24R7201SR helps protect the water inlet valve and dispenser system, keeps water tasting normal, and prevents leaks caused by mismatched filter housings.

The Samsung RF24R7201SR refrigerator measures 35 3/4 in wide and 70 in high (with hinges). Depth depends on whether handles and hinges are included in the measurement; use the configuration that matches your install plan and confirm clearances in the RF24R7201SR owner's manual.

Dimensions by configuration

These are the common published dimension sets used for fit checks and delivery planning.

• With hinges, handles, and doors: 35 3/4 in (W) x 70 in (H) x 36 1/2 in (D)
• Without hinges and door: 35 3/4 in (W) x 68 7/8 in (H) x 29 3/8 in (D)
• With hinge and door, no handle: 35 3/4 in (W) x 70 in (H) x 34 in (D)

How we recommend measuring your space

Use your tape measure to match the dimension set above to your real-world constraints (walls, trim, and door swing).

• Measure opening width at the front and back.
• Measure height to the lowest overhead cabinet or soffit.
• Measure depth to the point that matters (counter edge, walkway, or island).
• Add clearance behind the refrigerator for the water line and power cord.
• Plan door swing and drawer pull-out clearance so bins and freezer baskets open fully.

Quick reference table

Configuration	Width	Height	Depth
With hinges, handles, and doors	35 3/4 in	70 in	36 1/2 in
Without hinges and door	35 3/4 in	68 7/8 in	29 3/8 in
With hinge and door, no handle	35 3/4 in	70 in	34 in

Why it matters

Using the correct dimension set prevents common fit problems like doors hitting cabinets, the unit protruding farther than expected, or not having enough clearance to service the water filter and ice maker.
