Samsung RS2545SH/XAA refrigerator Parts

The Samsung RS2545SH side-by-side refrigerator measures 36 inches wide, 70 inches high (with hinge), and 30 inches deep (with door). For moving and fit checks, we also use the “without hinge” height and “without door” depth listed in the RS2545SH owner's manual.

Use these measurements to confirm doorway clearance, cabinet cutout space, and how far the refrigerator will stick out past surrounding counters.

• Width: 36 in
• Case height (without hinge): 69 in
• Case height (with hinge): 70 in
• Depth (with door): 30 in
• Depth (without door): 26.1 in

Even with the published dimensions, real-world clearance depends on trim, flooring, and how you angle the unit through the opening.

• Measure the narrowest point of the entrance (door jambs, handrails, turns)
• Compare to 36 in width; plan extra room for hands and padding
• Check height for overhead cabinets and door frames (use 70 in with hinge)
• Check depth for counter alignment (use 30 in with door)
• Allow space behind and above for airflow and water line routing

Correct dimensions prevent delivery issues and help avoid pinched water lines, restricted airflow, and doors that cannot fully open. The manual’s “checking the dimensions of your entrance door” chart is the best reference for planning a move.

The Samsung RS2545SH side-by-side refrigerator has a total capacity of 26.1 cu. ft. (per the capacity table in the RS2545SH owner's manual). This helps you confirm storage space and compare fit and features with similar Samsung side-by-side models.

Here is what we use for this model:

Capacity is the quickest way to estimate how much fresh and frozen food your refrigerator can hold. It also helps when you are:

• Comparing replacement refrigerators (side-by-side vs. French door)
• Planning shelf and bin organization for bulk shopping
• Estimating how quickly the unit recovers temperature after door openings
• Choosing compatible accessories such as a refrigerator water filter DA29-00003B

Capacity is only one part of “will it work in my space.” For RS2545SH, we recommend confirming these in the manual before moving or replacing the unit:

• Width (to confirm cabinet and doorway clearance)
• Case height (with and without hinge)
• Depth (with door and without door)
• Water supply access for the dispenser and ice maker
• Required air clearance for ventilation

Use a tape measure on both the refrigerator and your entrance path (doorways, hallways, turns). The manual’s dimension chart is the best reference for hinge and door depth differences.

A flashing 25E on a Samsung refrigerator typically points to a defrost or evaporator-area cooling issue, often related to frost buildup, a sensor problem, or airflow trouble. On Samsung RS2545SH, start with a safe reset and then check for ice buildup and fan airflow using the steps in the RS2545SH user manual.

• Power reset: Unplug the refrigerator (do not pull the cord), wait at least 5 minutes, then plug it back in.
• Listen for airflow: After restart, listen for the evaporator fan running inside the freezer section.
• Check for frost/ice: Heavy frost on the rear freezer panel often indicates a defrost system problem.
• Confirm doors seal and close: This model uses an auto-close feature when partially open; make sure doors fully seal.
• Give it time: After a restart or temperature change, cooling can take a few hours to stabilize.

If 25E returns after a reset, these are the most common repair paths:

When the defrost system is not clearing frost, ice can block airflow across the evaporator. That reduces cooling performance, can warm the freezer or fresh food section, and may trigger repeated error codes.

• The code returns quickly after reset
• You see heavy ice buildup that comes back within days
• The refrigerator is not cooling or food is thawing
