What are the dimensions of the Samsung model RH22H9010SR?
For the Samsung RH22H9010SR side-by-side refrigerator, the overall size is typically about 35 3/4 inches wide and about 70 inches tall, with depth varying based on whether handles and hinges are included. For the exact configuration measurements for your kitchen cutout, use the RH22H9010SR owner's manual.
Dimensions by configuration
Refrigerator dimensions are commonly listed in three ways because handles and hinges change the depth and height you need to plan for.
| Measurement style | What it includes | Best used for |
|---|---|---|
| With hinges, handles, and doors | Full installed footprint | Checking walkway clearance and door swing |
| With hinges and doors (no handles) | Installed footprint without handle projection | Tight depth situations |
| Without hinges and doors | Cabinet box only | Moving the unit through doorways |
What to measure before you buy or move it
We recommend measuring both the refrigerator and the path to the installation spot.
- Measure the opening width at the front and back (walls are often not perfectly square).
- Measure height to the lowest cabinet or soffit.
- Measure depth to the front edge of surrounding cabinets (note countertop overhang).
- Confirm clearance for door swing and drawer pull-out.
- Measure the narrowest doorway and hallway turns for delivery.
Why it matters
A side-by-side like the RH22H9010SR can fit the opening width but still run into problems with depth (handles) or height (hinges). Using the correct “with/without handles and hinges” dimension prevents installation delays and helps maintain proper airflow around the compressor and condenser area.

What is the most common problem with Samsung refrigerators?
For Samsung side-by-side refrigerators like model RH22H9010SR, the most common customer-reported issues are ice maker problems (no ice, clumping, freezing up) and cooling/airflow problems (warm fresh food section, frost buildup, noisy fans). These symptoms usually trace back to airflow restrictions, ice buildup, or a failing fan or control component.
Most common symptoms we see
- Ice maker stops producing ice or produces small/hollow cubes
- Ice clumps in the bin or the ice chute door sticks
- Fresh food section warms up while the freezer seems OK
- Frost or ice buildup on the back wall or around vents
- Fan noise, clicking, or intermittent cooling
Quick checks before replacing parts
- Confirm temperatures: set freezer near 0°F and refrigerator near 37°F (typical targets).
- Check airflow: make sure vents are not blocked by food packages.
- Look for frost patterns: heavy frost often points to a defrost or airflow issue.
- Inspect the door seal: gaps can cause moisture intrusion and frost.
- Reset and recheck: after adjustments, allow 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize.
Parts that commonly relate to these problems (when symptoms match)
| Symptom | Common area involved | Example part for RH22H9010SR |
|---|---|---|
| No ice or slow ice | Water supply and filtration | Refrigerator water filter DA29-00020B |
| Warm temps or fan noise | Condenser cooling and airflow | Refrigerator condenser fan motor assembly DA97-15765C |
| Intermittent cooling or odd behavior | Controls and power management | Refrigerator power control board DA92-00486A |
Why it matters
Ice maker and cooling issues can quickly lead to food spoilage, water leaks, and extra strain on the sealed system. Catching airflow and frost problems early often prevents bigger repairs.
Helpful model-specific resources
- Use the RH22H9010SR owner's manual for control settings, recommended temperatures, and feature operation.
- If you see a code on the display, use Samsung rh22 and rh29 models side by side refrigerator error codes to narrow the failure to a specific circuit or sensor.

Why is my refrigerator running but not cooling on my Samsung?
If your Samsung RH22H9010SR refrigerator is running but not cooling, the most common causes are restricted airflow (blocked vents or frosted evaporator), dirty condenser area, or a failed fan or control component. Start with a reset and airflow checks before moving to parts testing. See the RH22H9010SR owner's manual for model-specific control and reset steps.
Quick checks we recommend first
- Confirm the unit is not in Demo (Cooling Off) mode.
- Make sure food packages are not blocking air vents in either compartment.
- Check that both doors close fully and the gaskets seal all the way around.
- Set temperatures to typical targets: 37°F fresh food and 0°F freezer.
- Listen for fans: you should typically hear airflow when the doors are closed.
What “running” usually means (and what it points to)
When customers say the refrigerator is “running,” they often mean the interior lights are on and they hear some noise. Cooling still depends on airflow and heat removal.
| What you notice | Most likely area to check | Common next step |
|---|---|---|
| Freezer cold, fridge warm | Airflow/damper issue | Inspect the air passages; consider the air damper assembly |
| Both sections warm, compressor runs | Condenser airflow or sealed system | Clean condenser area; verify condenser fan operation |
| Frost/ice buildup on back wall | Defrost system/evaporator airflow | Manually defrost 24 hours; then recheck cooling |
| Clicking, then stops cooling | Start device/overload | Inspect start components and wiring |
Parts that commonly affect cooling on this model
If basic checks do not restore cooling, these parts are frequent suspects:
- Refrigerator condenser fan motor assembly DA97-15765C (moves air across the condenser to dump heat)
- Samsung refrigerator air damper control assembly DA97-13749D (controls cold air flow into the fresh-food section)
- Refrigerator power control board DA92-00486A (manages power and cooling functions)
- Samsung refrigerator compressor MKV190CL2BASH (sealed-system component; typically requires professional service)
Why it matters
Running without cooling can lead to unsafe food temperatures and can also overwork the compressor. Catching airflow problems early (blocked vents, frosted coils, failed fan) often prevents bigger repairs.
Helpful DIY guidance
- Use our why your Samsung fridge stopped making ice and how to fix it article if cooling issues are also affecting ice production.
- If the display shows an error, use Samsung rh22 and rh29 models side by side refrigerator error codes to narrow the failure to a fan, sensor, or defrost-related problem.
