Samsung RS25H5111SG/AA-00 refrigerator Parts

To force a reset on your Samsung RS25H5111SG refrigerator, unplug it (or switch off the breaker) for at least 5 minutes, then restore power and allow a few hours for temperatures to stabilize. This power reset clears many control glitches without changing normal settings.

Recommended reset methods (in order)

• Power reset (most reliable): Unplug the refrigerator or turn off the circuit breaker.
• Wait at least 5 minutes before restoring power (this protects the compressor and control system).
• Restore power and confirm the interior lights and display come back on.
• Set temperatures back to your preferred settings after power returns.
• Give it time: cooling can take several hours to fully recover after a reset.

For model-specific control panel steps and button functions, follow the instructions in the RS25H5111SG owner’s manual.

What to expect after a reset

What you see	What it means	What to do
Display returns to normal	Control reboot completed	Set temps as desired
Fan and compressor start later	Normal restart delay	Wait 10 to 30 minutes
Temps not normal right away	Cabinet needs time to cool	Allow several hours
Ice production pauses	Ice maker needs recovery time	Wait 24 hours for full output

If you are resetting because of an ice maker problem

A reset helps if the ice maker stopped due to a temporary control issue, but it will not fix a water supply problem.

• Make sure the household water valve is open
• Confirm water pressure is in the typical operating range (many Samsung units need about 20 to 125 psi)
• If you will be away and shut off the water, turn it back on before expecting ice
• If the issue continues, inspect the ice maker and fill system components

If you need step-by-step troubleshooting, use why your Samsung fridge stopped making ice and how to fix it.

Why it matters

Resetting the RS25H5111SG the right way prevents short-cycling the compressor and gives the refrigerator time to return to stable temperatures, which protects food quality and helps the ice maker and dispenser recover normally.

Samsung refrigerator dimensions vary by style and model. For your Samsung RS25H5111SG side-by-side, the RS25H5111SG owner's manual lists a cabinet width of about 35 3/4 in and an overall height with hinge of about 69 9/10 in; depth depends on whether you include doors and handles.

RS25H5111SG dimension chart (from the manual)

Use these measurements to confirm fit through doorways and into the cutout.

Measurement	Approx. size
Cabinet width	35 3/4 in (908 mm)
Width with doors	36 1/20 in (915.5 mm)
Cabinet depth	30 9/10 in (784 mm)
Depth with doors	33 3/4 in (857.5 mm)
Depth with handle	36 1/5 in (919 mm)
Height (cabinet)	68 3/5 in (1742.5 mm)
Height with hinge	69 9/10 in (1776 mm)

What to measure before you buy or move the fridge

We recommend checking these items so the refrigerator installs cleanly and can be serviced later.

• Doorway width and height on the delivery path (including thresholds)
• Kitchen cutout width, height, and depth (include baseboards and trim)
• Clearance at the top, sides, and back for airflow
• Space needed for doors to open (especially near walls or an island)
• Water line access for the dispenser and ice maker

Typical Samsung refrigerator size ranges (quick reference)

If you are comparing other Samsung refrigerators, these ranges are common across many styles.

Style	Typical width	Typical height	Typical depth
Side-by-side	33 to 36 in	65 to 71 in	30 to 36 in
French door	33 to 36 in	68 to 71 in	29 to 36 in
Top freezer	28 to 33 in	61 to 67 in	28 to 34 in

Why it matters

Correct dimensions prevent delivery problems, door-swing interference, and poor cooling. The manual also calls out leaving clearance on the right, left, back, and top for air circulation, which helps reduce power use and keeps temperatures stable.

Most Samsung refrigerators average about 10 to 15 years of service life with normal household use. For your Samsung RS25H5111SG side-by-side, consistent temperatures, clean airflow, and timely maintenance (especially around ice and water systems) are the biggest factors that help it reach the high end of that range; see the RS25H5111SG manual for care and operating guidance.

Typical lifespan (what to expect)

Refrigerator lifespan depends more on usage and maintenance than brand name alone.

• Average range: 10 to 15 years
• Often shorter when: coils are dirty, doors do not seal, or airflow is blocked
• Often longer when: temperatures stay stable and the unit runs with good ventilation clearance

What you notice	What it usually means	What to do first
Fridge warm, freezer OK	Fresh food airflow or defrost issue	Check vents for blockage; listen for evaporator fan
Freezer warm, fridge OK	Sealed system or condenser airflow issue	Clean condenser area; confirm condenser fan runs
Clicking, not cooling	Compressor start or inverter issue	Unplug 5 minutes, retry; then diagnose power/control
Water leaks or ice issues	Water pressure/valve/filter/ice maker issue	Verify shutoff valve open; check line for kinks

Maintenance that extends life

These steps reduce compressor run time and prevent common failures.

• Keep interior air vents clear so the refrigerator does not overcool or run inefficiently.
• Maintain proper installation clearance around the cabinet for airflow.
• If you have ice and water, keep the supply within typical operating pressure (the manual notes 20 to 125 psi).
• If you will be away and not using water/ice, close the water valve to help prevent leaks.
• If cooling performance drops and you hear abnormal noise, inspect the condenser fan and evaporator fan operation.

Why it matters

A refrigerator that is struggling to move air or maintain temperature can run longer cycles, which increases wear on major components like the compressor. Addressing airflow, temperature stability, and water supply issues early is the simplest way to protect the sealed refrigeration system.

The most common ice problem we see on Samsung side-by-side refrigerators like model RS25H5111SG is little or no ice caused by a water supply issue (low water pressure, closed valve, or restricted flow). This model needs 20 to 125 psi water pressure for the ice maker to run correctly; confirm those basics first using the RS25H5111SG manual.

Quick checks that fix most ice issues

• Make sure the household water shutoff valve to the refrigerator is fully open.
• Confirm water pressure is 20 to 125 psi; low pressure often causes slow fill and small or hollow cubes.
• Dispense water at the door until the flow is steady (this helps confirm the line and reservoir are filled).
• If the water line is not connected, turn the ice maker off to prevent unusual noises.
• Store food tightly wrapped; strong odors can transfer into ice.

What the symptoms usually point to

Symptom	Most likely cause	What to do first
No ice at all	Water valve closed, low pressure, ice maker turned off	Check shutoff valve; verify 20 to 125 psi; confirm ice is on
Small, clumpy, or hollow cubes	Low water pressure or restricted water flow	Check pressure; run dispenser to confirm strong flow
Unusual noises when dispensing water or with ice on	Water supply not connected or valve closed	Turn ice off; open valve if connected
Ice tastes or smells bad	Food odors in freezer	Rewrap foods; clean bin; dump first batch

Parts that commonly relate to ice and water flow

If the basics check out and ice production is still poor, these parts are often involved in the next step of diagnosis:

• Refrigerator water inlet valve DA62-02360B (controls water fill to the ice maker)
• Refrigerator temperature sensor DA32-10109W (temperature feedback that can affect ice production)
• Refrigerator ice maker DA97-14253A (the ice-making assembly)

Why it matters

Ice makers are simple: they need correct freezer temperature and a consistent water fill. On RS25H5111SG, getting the water supply right (valve open and 20 to 125 psi) prevents most “no ice” and “small ice” complaints and avoids noise issues when water is not flowing.

On the Samsung RS25H5111SG, an ice maker stops making ice when water is not reaching the refrigerator (valve closed, line issue, or low pressure), the ice maker is set to Ice Off, or the freezer is too warm. Use the steps below; see the RS25H5111SG owner's manual for the exact button and indicator behavior.

Quick checks that fix most “no ice” problems

• Confirm the household shut-off valve is fully open and the water line is connected.
• Make sure the ice maker is not set to Ice Off (press and hold the Ice button for at least 3 seconds until the Ice Off icon changes).
• If the water line was just connected, wait 12 hours for ice production to start.
• Verify water pressure is 20 to 125 psi (this model’s required range).
• Set the freezer colder if it is running warm; warm freezer temps stop ice production.
• Check the ice bucket for clumped ice; break up clumps and reseat the bucket fully.

Symptom guide

What you notice	Most likely cause	What we recommend
No water at dispenser and no ice	Water supply/pressure problem	Open valve, confirm line, verify 20 to 125 psi
Water dispenses but no ice	Ice maker off or freezer too warm	Turn off Ice Off, lower freezer temp
Clumped ice in bucket	Warmth, infrequent use, or partial melts	Clear clumps, reseat bucket, keep freezer colder
Unusual noises with ice maker on	Water not supplied to unit	Turn ice maker off until water supply is restored

When a part is the cause

If water supply, pressure, and settings are correct, a failed fill component is common. The refrigerator water inlet valve DA62-02360B controls water flow to the dispenser and ice maker.

Why it matters

The RS25H5111SG ice maker depends on steady water pressure and proper freezer temperature. Correcting supply issues and turning off Ice Off restores normal ice production and prevents clumping.

If your Samsung RS25H5111SG dispenses water but won’t dispense ice, the most common causes are the ice maker being turned off, low water pressure to the ice maker, an ice jam in the bucket or chute, or a frozen/clogged ice maker fill tube. Use the steps in the RS25H5111SG owner's manual to confirm ice settings and dispenser operation.

Quick checks that fix most “no ice” complaints

• Make sure Ice Off is not selected; press and hold the Ice button until Ice Off changes.
• Confirm the freezer is cold enough (target 0°F); ice production drops fast if temps rise.
• Check for an ice clump/jam in the ice container and clear it.
• Verify the household shutoff valve is fully open and the supply line is not kinked.
• Replace a restricted water filter if flow seems weaker than normal.
• If the unit was unplugged, wait at least 5 minutes before plugging back in.

Water works but ice doesn’t: what’s different?

Water at the dispenser can still work when the ice maker side is struggling because the ice maker needs consistent pressure and a clear fill path.

Symptom	Most likely cause	What to do next
Water dispenses normally, ice maker is silent	Ice maker turned off	Turn ice maker on (Ice Off not lit)
Small cubes or slow production	Low water pressure	Confirm supply pressure is 20 to 125 psi
No cubes, freezer cold, bucket empty	Frozen/clogged fill tube	Thaw and clear the fill tube; check for recurring freezing
Ice maker cycles but no fill	Water inlet valve not opening	Test/replace the inlet valve if supply pressure is correct

Parts that commonly solve this issue

If the checks above don’t restore ice production, these parts are frequent fixes on side-by-side refrigerators:

• Refrigerator water inlet valve (controls water to the ice maker)
• Ice maker assembly (motor, mold thermostat, internal sensor)
• Freezer evaporator fan motor (poor airflow can cause warm freezer temps)

Why it matters

When the ice maker can’t fill correctly, it may cycle without producing ice, create hollow cubes, or freeze the fill tube. Fixing the root cause protects ice quality and helps the freezer maintain stable temperatures.
