Samsung RH29H8000SR/AA-00 refrigerator Parts

To reset the control panel on a Samsung RH29H8000SR refrigerator, press and hold Energy Saver and Lighting at the same time for about 8 to 10 seconds, then release. The display should restart and return to normal operation.

What this reset does (and does not do)

This key combination is a control panel reset. It can clear a frozen display, odd lights, or unresponsive buttons, but it does not fix cooling problems caused by a failed part.

• Resets the dispenser and display electronics
• Can clear a blinking or stuck panel
• Does not repair a cooling system issue (compressor, evaporator, fans)
• Does not replace the water filter reset (that is a different button hold)

Step-by-step: control panel reset

1. Keep the refrigerator plugged in.
2. Press Energy Saver and Lighting together.
3. Hold for 8 to 10 seconds.
4. Release when the panel restarts or changes.

If the refrigerator was unplugged recently, wait at least 5 minutes before plugging it back in to avoid control issues.

Related reset: water filter light

If your goal is only to reset the filter indicator after replacing the filter, use the filter reset function:

• Press and hold Lighting for 3 seconds to reset the filter life indicator

See the exact button locations and panel behavior in the RH29H8000SR owner's manual.

Quick reference table

Task	Buttons	Hold time
Control panel reset	Energy Saver + Lighting	8 to 10 seconds
Water filter indicator reset	Lighting	3 seconds

Why it matters

A proper reset is the fastest way to restore normal dispenser and display operation after a power interruption or a control glitch. If the panel keeps acting up after resets, the issue often points to a wiring, user interface, or control board problem.

The Samsung RH29H8000SR side-by-side refrigerator measures 35 7/8 in. wide, 69 7/8 in. overall height, and 35 1/4 in. deep (depth “E” shown for the RH29* platform). For the full diagram and measuring notes, use the RH29H8000SR owner's manual.

RH29H8000SR dimensions shown in the manual

The manual lists these key installation measurements for the RH29* platform:

• Width (B): 35 7/8 in. (912 mm)
• Height (C): 68 1/2 in. (1742 mm)
• Overall height (D): 69 7/8 in. (1774 mm)
• Cabinet depth (A): 35 1/8 in. (893 mm)
• Depth with door (E): 35 1/4 in. (896 mm)

Quick reference table

Measurement	Manual label	Size
Width	B	35 7/8 in.
Height (cabinet)	C	68 1/2 in.
Overall height	D	69 7/8 in.
Cabinet depth	A	35 1/8 in.
Depth with door	E	35 1/4 in.

How we recommend measuring your space

Published dimensions are a starting point; fit issues usually come from clearance and door swing.

• Measure the width, height, and depth of the opening at multiple points
• Allow space on the left, right, back, and top for airflow
• Confirm you have room for door swing and drawer access
• Measure your doorways and delivery path, including turns
• Verify the floor is level so the doors seal and align correctly

Why it matters

Correct width, height, and depth help prevent blocked door swing, restricted airflow (warm temperatures), and difficulty pulling the refrigerator out for service or cleaning.

The Samsung RH29H8000SR side-by-side refrigerator has 28.5 cu. ft. total capacity. The storage split is 18.4 cu. ft. fresh food and 10.1 cu. ft. freezer, which is the most useful way to plan shelf, bin, and ice storage. See the RH29H8000SR owner's manual for the compartment layout.

Capacity breakdown for RH29H8000SR

These numbers describe the rated internal volume of each section:

• Total capacity: 28.5 cu. ft. (fresh food + freezer)
• Fresh food (refrigerator) capacity: 18.4 cu. ft.
• Freezer capacity: 10.1 cu. ft.
• Usable space: reduced by shelves, drawers, the ice bin, and airflow channels

Quick reference table

Section	Capacity
Total	28.5 cu. ft.
Fresh food	18.4 cu. ft.
Freezer	10.1 cu. ft.

Why it matters

Capacity helps us set realistic expectations for day-to-day storage. If you rely heavily on the ice maker, the ice bin and chute area can take up noticeable freezer room even though the rated capacity stays the same.

What can make it feel smaller than the rating

Even with the correct cubic-foot rating, these common factors affect how much you can actually fit:

• Ice maker and ice bin taking up freezer volume
• Tall items forcing shelf repositioning
• Door bins limiting interior shelf depth
• Overpacking blocking vents and reducing cooling performance

For the exact shelf and bin configuration for your RH29H8000SR, use the diagrams in the RH29H8000SR owner's manual.
