Samsung RF23HCEDBSR/AA-01 refrigerator Parts

The Samsung RF23HCEDBSR refrigerator has a total capacity of 22.5 cu. ft., with about 6.8 cu. ft. in the freezer and the remainder in the fresh food section. For the exact breakdown and feature-specific storage notes, use the RF23HCEDBSR owner's manual.

• Total capacity: 22.5 cu. ft.
• Freezer capacity: 6.8 cu. ft.
• Approx. fresh food capacity: 15.7 cu. ft. (total minus freezer)
• Capacity is a cabinet volume rating; usable space can vary with bins, ice storage, and shelving setup.

Capacity helps you compare refrigerators and plan storage, but day-to-day usable room depends on how you configure shelves and how much space is taken up by items like the ice maker and door bins.

• Set shelves to match your most common items (tall bottles vs. meal prep containers).
• Keep vents clear so cold air can circulate and maintain even temperatures.
• Avoid overpacking the freezer drawer; airflow matters for consistent freezing.
• If ice storage is limiting space, consider adjusting how much ice you keep on hand.

The most common problems we see on Samsung refrigerators like model RF23HCEDBSR are ice maker failures (no ice, freezing up, leaking) and cooling complaints (warm fresh-food section, frost buildup, noisy fan). These usually tie back to airflow restrictions, defrost-related ice buildup, or temperature sensing.

• Ice maker stops producing ice or makes small/hollow cubes
• Ice bucket clumps, ice room freezes up, or frost forms around the ice area
• Fresh-food section warms while the freezer seems normal
• Frost/ice buildup behind the evaporator cover
• Water pooling under drawers or leaking inside
• Buzzing, grinding, or evaporator fan noise

• Verify temperature settings; wait 24 hours after changes
• Make sure doors close fully and the gasket seals all the way around
• Do not block air vents with food containers
• If you see heavy frost, follow the defrost and airflow steps in the RF23HCEDBSR manual
• For ice issues, use the troubleshooting steps in why your Samsung fridge stopped making ice and how to fix it

When troubleshooting points to a failed component, these parts commonly relate to the symptoms above:

• Refrigerator temperature sensor MKV190CL2BASH (temperature feedback that affects cycling)
• Refrigerator ice maker MKV190CL2BASH (ice production and harvest issues)

Ice buildup and poor airflow raise food temperatures and increase run time; addressing the root cause early helps prevent repeat icing, leaks, and extended cooling problems.

Your Samsung refrigerator’s model number is printed on the rating label; on RF23HCEDBSR units it’s most often inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall near the crisper area, or on the ceiling near the top hinge. Use the full model number when ordering parts.

Check these common label locations first:

• Inside the refrigerator compartment on the left or right side wall
• On the ceiling of the fresh food compartment (near the top hinge area)
• On the door frame edge (open the right door and look along the inner frame)
• Behind the crisper drawers (you may need to slide drawers out)
• On the back exterior panel (less common, but possible)

The rating label usually includes several identifiers. Here is what to capture:

When you record the model information, these steps prevent mix-ups:

• Copy the model number exactly as printed (including any dashes or suffixes)
• Take a clear photo of the label for reference
• Use the model number from the label, not the one on the control panel display
• Match parts by model first, then confirm with the diagram callout

Samsung refrigerators can have multiple versions that look identical but use different ice maker, dispenser, or control parts. Using the exact model number from the rating label is the fastest way to get the right replacement part the first time.

For model label examples and additional identification notes, use the RF23HCEDBSR owner's manual.
