Samsung RS277ACRS/XAA-00 refrigerator Parts

The Samsung RS277ACRS side-by-side refrigerator has a total capacity of 26.5 cu. ft. (the RS275/RS277 platform). For model-specific features and setup details tied to this capacity, we recommend confirming in the RS277ACRS owner's manual.

Capacity breakdown and what it means

Capacity is the total interior storage volume; it helps you compare usable space for fresh food vs. frozen food and plan airflow clearance around shelves and vents.

• Total capacity (RS275/RS277): 26.5 cu. ft.
• Fresh food and freezer sections share this total (exact split varies by configuration)
• Multi-vent airflow means overpacking can reduce cooling performance
• Door bins and the ice system reduce usable space compared to “box” volume

Quick reference table

Spec	RS277ACRS (RS275/RS277 platform)
Total capacity	26.5 cu. ft.
Style	Side-by-side
Notes	Capacity is for the full cabinet; usable space depends on shelves, bins, and ice maker

Related specs customers often mix up with capacity

The manual lists cabinet dimensions separately from capacity. These are helpful when you are checking fit through doorways or planning installation clearance.

• Width: 35 7/8 in.
• Case height: 68 1/2 in.
• Height with hinge: 70 in.
• Depth with door: 33 13/16 in.
• Depth without door: 30 1/2 in.

Why it matters

If your refrigerator seems “too small” for its rated capacity, the most common reasons are a full ice bin, bulky door storage, or blocked vents that force you to leave more open space for proper cooling.

If you are shopping for replacement parts that affect usable space (bins, shelves, ice container), order directly from the parts list for RS277ACRS or search by model on Sears PartsDirect.

To reset the ice maker on your Samsung RS277ACRS side-by-side refrigerator, press and hold the ice maker’s reset/test button until you hear a chime (typically after a few seconds). The ice maker will run a short test cycle and then resume normal ice production.

Where the reset button is and what to expect

On most Samsung side-by-side ice makers, the reset/test button is on the underside or side of the ice maker head (inside the freezer, near the ice bucket). After the chime, you may hear the unit cycle and see the ejector move.

• Remove the ice bucket so you can access the ice maker head
• Press and hold the reset/test button until you hear the chime
• Reinstall the bucket and close the freezer door
• Allow time for the freezer to recover temperature and for new ice to form

Quick checks if it still will not make ice

Resetting helps, but ice production still depends on temperature, airflow, and water supply.

• Confirm the freezer is set cold enough (typical target is 0°F)
• Make sure the ice bucket is seated fully and not jammed with clumped ice
• Verify the water filter is not overdue; a restricted filter can reduce fill
• Check for a frozen fill tube or frost buildup that points to a defrost/airflow issue
• Make sure the ice maker is not set to “Ice off” on the dispenser panel

Parts that commonly affect ice making on RS277ACRS

If the reset chimes but the ice maker does not fill or harvest, these model-matched parts are common suspects.

Symptom	Most likely area	Example part on this model page
No water entering ice maker	Water supply control	Kenmore pro refrigerator water inlet valve DA62-00914B
Ice maker will not cycle/harvest	Ice maker module/assembly	Refrigerator ice maker assembly DA97-02203G
Slow water flow at dispenser and ice maker	Filter restriction	Samsung refrigerator water filter DA29-00003G

Why it matters

A proper reset clears minor logic hiccups and forces a test cycle, which helps us quickly separate a control issue from a water-flow problem (filter or inlet valve) or a mechanical ice maker failure.

Yes. Samsung model RS277ACRS is a side-by-side refrigerator. The owner's manual for RS275/RS277 models identifies RS277 and shows the side-by-side layout, including the freezer section, refrigerator section, and in-door ice and water dispenser features.

How we know it is a side-by-side

The RS277ACRS documentation describes a two-door layout with the freezer on one side and fresh food on the other, plus common side-by-side components like the ice maker, ice chute, and water filter compartment.

Key RS277 side-by-side features called out in the manual include:

• In-door ice and water dispenser controls (cubed, crushed, ice off)
• Power Cool and Power Freeze functions on the control panel
• CoolSelect Zone drawer (listed specifically for RS277)
• A dedicated refrigerator water filter compartment
• Door bins and shelves arranged for side-by-side storage

Quick size reference (helpful for fit and moving)

The manual lists the RS275/RS277 cabinet dimensions used to check doorway clearance.

Measurement (RS275/RS277)	Value (inches)
Width	35 7/8
Case height	68 1/2
Height with hinge	70
Depth without hinge	33 13/16
Depth without door	30 1/2

Why it matters

Knowing RS277ACRS is a side-by-side helps you match the correct parts and troubleshooting steps for the dispenser, ice maker, evaporator fan, and temperature controls. It also helps when planning installation clearance and door removal for moving.

Parts you will commonly match by model

When ordering parts for RS277ACRS, match by model number first, then confirm the part name and number.

Common examples for this model include:

• Water filtration: Samsung refrigerator water filter DA29-00003G
• Ice production: refrigerator ice maker assembly DA97-02203G
• Cooling airflow: refrigerator freezer evaporator fan motor DA31-00146E

You can order replacement parts from the parts list for RS277ACRS, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

If your Samsung RS277ACRS side-by-side refrigerator is not making ice, the most common causes are the ice maker being turned off, no water supply, a clogged water filter, or the freezer temperature being set too warm. Start with the setup and dispenser checks in the RS277ACRS owner's manual.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Confirm ice making is turned on (not stopped/off).
• Make sure the water line is connected and the shut-off valve is fully open.
• Check freezer temperature; if it is too warm, ice production slows or stops.
• Look for clumped ice or an overfilled bin blocking the mechanism.
• If the filter is overdue, replace it and flush the system.

Water filter and water flow (very common)

RS277ACRS uses a filter cartridge for the water and ice dispenser; without a filter installed, the water line blocks the water supply. After installing a new filter, flush water until it runs clear (the manual recommends discarding the first six glassfuls).

If you need the correct replacement, use the model-matched Samsung refrigerator water filter DA29-00003G.

Symptom	Most likely cause	What to do
No water at dispenser and no ice	Shut-off valve closed, filter missing/clogged	Open valve; install/replace filter; flush
Water OK but no ice	Ice maker not cycling or fill issue	Check ice maker on/off; inspect fill area for freezing
Ice made but not dispensed	Bin clumped, dispenser issue	Break up clumps; check bin seating

If water is on but ice still will not make

• Weak or no dispenser water often points to a supply or valve problem.
• Normal dispenser water but no ice points to the ice maker assembly or a frozen fill area.

Why it matters

Ice production depends on cold enough freezer temperature, steady water flow (filter and supply), and a working ice maker mechanism. Fixing the root cause prevents repeat clogs and slow ice production.
