How do I get the bottom shelf out of my Samsung refrigerator?
To remove the bottom shelf in your Samsung RB195BSSB refrigerator, we pull the shelf forward to its stop, lift the front edge, then angle the glass sideways to clear the cabinet notches before sliding it out. Use the steps in the RB195BSSB owner's manual for safe handling and reinstallation.
Steps to remove the bottom shelf
- Remove food items and any bins that block the shelf.
- Pull the shelf straight forward until it stops.
- Lift the front of the shelf slightly to unseat it from the supports.
- Rotate the shelf so the glass is angled sideways (this helps it clear the notch/liner).
- Slide the shelf out carefully, keeping it supported with both hands.
- Set the shelf on a flat, padded surface to avoid chipping the glass.
If the shelf feels stuck
Most “stuck shelf” issues are caused by the shelf catching on the liner notch, a bin still in the way, or the shelf not being lifted high enough before angling.
- Check that the crisper drawer(s) are fully closed or removed.
- Lift the front edge a bit higher, then try the sideways angle again.
- Look for ice buildup or sticky spills on the shelf rails and wipe them clean.
- Do not force the glass; steady pressure and the correct angle works best.
Cleaning and reinstalling tips
The manual recommends removing shelves for cleaning, washing with water and detergent, and drying completely before reinstalling.
| Task | Best practice | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Cleaning | Mild detergent, rinse, dry fully | Prevents odors and residue |
| Reinstalling | Put shelves back in their original positions | Avoids fit issues (top/middle/bottom) |
| Handling | Support glass with two hands | Reduces break risk |
Why it matters
Removing the shelf the right way prevents cracked glass, damaged shelf supports, and air-flow blockages that can affect refrigerator temperature stability.

How to reset bottom ice maker Samsung?
To reset the bottom-freezer ice maker on your Samsung RB195BSSB, turn ice making off, clear the ice bin and any obstructions, then turn ice making back on and allow time for production to restart. The ice maker may pause briefly before it begins cycling again.
Reset steps (safe, no tools)
- Press Ice Off to stop ice production (the Ice Off indicator should turn on).
- Pull out the ice storage bin, rinse it with water, then dry it completely.
- Check that nothing is blocking the feeler arm (it must move freely).
- Reinstall the bin fully so it seats correctly.
- Press Ice Off again to resume ice making.
- Discard the first few batches of ice after restarting to clear the water line.
For the exact control-panel behavior and ice maker details for this model, follow the RB195BSSB owner's manual.
What to expect after the reset
The ice maker on this style typically makes 8 cubes per cycle and can produce about 100 to 130 cubes in 24 hours, depending on freezer temperature, room temperature, and door openings.
| Situation | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Bin is full up to the feeler arm | Ice maker stops normally | Empty some ice and wait |
| Ice cubes are clumped together | Normal at times | Break apart and use older ice |
| No ice right away after turning back on | Normal delay | Wait several hours |
Why it matters
A quick reset clears common “no ice” causes like a stuck feeler arm, a mis-seated ice bin, or old ice buildup. It also helps you avoid chasing parts when the ice maker is simply paused by the Ice Off setting.
If it still will not make ice
- Confirm the freezer is cold enough and the door is closing tightly.
- Make sure the water supply is on and the line is not kinked.
- If you recently connected the water line or changed filtration, flush water as directed in the manual.
- If you see repeated error indications, use the Samsung rb series bottom freezer refrigerator error codes guide to narrow the cause.

What is the most common problem with Samsung refrigerators?
For Samsung refrigerators like model RB195BSSB, the most common customer-reported issues are ice maker problems (no ice, small output, clumping, freezing up) and cooling symptoms tied to airflow or frost buildup. These often show up as warm temperatures, noisy fans, or water/ice buildup.
What we see most often (and what to check first)
- Ice maker not producing enough ice: This model’s ice maker output depends heavily on freezer temperature and door openings.
- Ice clumping or odd-shaped cubes: Several cubes joined together can be normal, especially with infrequent use.
- Freezer frost and reduced airflow: Frost buildup can restrict airflow and make the refrigerator section warm.
- Water or ice buildup in the freezer: A restricted drain path can lead to ice accumulation.
- Fan noise or weak cooling: A failing evaporator fan can reduce airflow across the evaporator.
Quick checks you can do on RB195BSSB
- Confirm the freezer is set cold enough for ice production and avoid frequent door openings.
- Dump the first few batches after turning the ice maker on (clears the water line).
- Make sure nothing blocks the ice maker feeler arm; when the bin reaches the arm level, ice production stops.
- Inspect for frost buildup on the back freezer panel (a clue of defrost or airflow trouble).
- If you see water/ice under drawers or in the freezer, check for a drain restriction.
Parts that commonly relate to these symptoms
| Symptom | Common area | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Frost buildup, warming, intermittent cooling | Defrost system | Refrigerator defrost thermal fuse DA47-00095E |
| Water/ice pooling from a blocked drain | Drain path | Refrigerator drain tube grommet DA63-00951B |
| Weak airflow, warm fresh-food section | Evaporator airflow | Refrigerator evaporator fan blade DA31-00016A |
Why it matters
Ice maker and cooling complaints often share the same root cause: temperature stability and airflow. When frost or airflow problems develop, the freezer temperature swings, ice production drops, and food temperatures can rise.
For model-specific operating details (ice production expectations, feeler arm operation, cleaning steps), use the RB195BSSB owner's manual.
