Samsung RH22H9010SR/AA-02 refrigerator Parts

The Samsung RH22H9010SR is a 36-inch counter-depth side-by-side refrigerator with about 21.5 cu. ft. of total capacity. For the exact height, width, depth, and required clearances for your kitchen cutout, use the specifications section in the RH22H9010SR owner's manual.

What “big” usually means (and what to measure)

When customers ask how big a refrigerator is, we recommend confirming these four measurements at home:

• Overall width (cabinet and doors)
• Overall height (floor to top hinge cover)
• Overall depth (cabinet only vs. with handles)
• Door swing clearance (space needed to fully open doors and drawers)

If you are replacing an older unit, also measure the path into the home (doorways, hallways, and turns).

Typical size expectations for a 36-inch counter-depth side-by-side

Most 36-inch counter-depth side-by-side refrigerators are designed to align closely with standard countertops, but depth varies depending on handles and door design.

Measurement type	What to expect	What to verify
Width class	36-inch	Exact overall width in the manual
Depth style	Counter-depth	Depth with and without handles
Capacity	About 21 to 23 cu. ft.	Listed total capacity

Why it matters

Getting the exact dimensions right prevents common install problems like doors that cannot open fully, a refrigerator that sticks out farther than expected, or airflow clearance issues that can reduce cooling performance.

Related maintenance tip while you plan

If you are moving or reinstalling the refrigerator, it is a good time to replace the water filter and flush the water line so the dispenser and ice maker perform normally. The correct filter for this model is the refrigerator water filter DA29-00020B.

If your Samsung RH22H9010SR is running but not cooling, the most common causes are restricted airflow, dirty condenser coils, a fan not moving air, or frost buildup from a defrost problem. Start with a power reset and airflow checks, then inspect fans and frost patterns.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Confirm the refrigerator is not in Demo (Cooling Off) mode; check the display indicators in the RH22H9010SR owner's manual.
• Make sure air vents inside both compartments are not blocked by food packages.
• Verify both doors fully close and the gaskets seal all the way around.
• Set temperatures to typical targets: 37°F fresh food and 0°F freezer.
• Clean dust from the condenser area (unplug first).

What the symptoms usually point to

What you notice	Most likely area	What to do next
Freezer cold, fridge warm	Airflow/damper issue	Check for blocked vents and consider the Samsung refrigerator air damper control assembly DA97-13749D.
Both sections warm, compressor runs	Condenser airflow or sealed system	Clean coils, listen for condenser fan; if no improvement, service is typically needed.
Heavy frost on rear freezer panel	Defrost system issue	Do a full manual defrost (24-48 hours unplugged, doors open), then monitor.
No air movement inside	Evaporator fan issue	Listen for fan noise; if silent, troubleshooting and replacement is common.

Step-by-step troubleshooting (safe DIY)

1. Power reset: unplug for 5 minutes, then restore power.
2. Airflow check: leave 1-2 inches of space around interior vents.
3. Condenser cleaning: vacuum brush dust from the condenser area and grille.
4. Frost check: look for thick frost behind the freezer rear panel (a strong defrost clue).
5. Fan check: listen for the condenser fan near the compressor and the evaporator fan in the freezer.

Why it matters

A refrigerator can sound “normal” while temperatures rise because cooling depends on heat removal (condenser coils and condenser fan) and cold-air circulation (evaporator fan and damper). Fixing airflow and frost issues early helps prevent food spoilage and repeat icing.

For Samsung refrigerators like model RH22H9010SR, the most common customer-reported problems involve the ice maker (no ice, clumping, freezing up) and cooling symptoms (warm fresh food section, frost buildup, noisy fans). These issues often 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 makes small/hollow cubes
• Ice clumps in the bin or the ice chute area freezes up
• Fresh food section warms while the freezer seems normal
• Frost or ice buildup on the back wall or around vents
• Fan noise, clicking, or intermittent cooling
• Water leaking inside the refrigerator or pooling underneath

Quick checks before replacing parts

1. Confirm temperatures: set freezer near 0°F and refrigerator near 37°F, then allow 24 hours to stabilize.
2. Check airflow: make sure food packages are not blocking vents in either compartment.
3. Inspect for ice buildup: heavy frost usually points to a defrost or airflow problem.
4. Verify water supply (ice and dispenser): confirm the shutoff valve is fully open and the line is not kinked.
5. Reset and test: follow the reset steps and diagnostics in the owner's manual.

Parts that commonly relate to these problems

If the basic checks point to a specific failure, these are common repair paths for RH22H9010SR:

Symptom	Common cause	Example part for this model
No ice or inconsistent ice	Ice maker issue or freezing in the ice room	Refrigerator ice maker by Samsung (DA97-13415B)
Warm refrigerator section	Airflow control not opening correctly	Samsung refrigerator air damper control assembly (DA97-13749D)
Poor cooling and hot cabinet sides	Condenser fan not moving air across coils	Refrigerator condenser fan motor assembly (DA97-15765A)
Slow water, bad taste, filter light on	Clogged or overdue filter	Refrigerator water filter DA29-00020B

Why it matters

Ice maker and cooling problems can quickly lead to food spoilage, excess frost, and longer compressor run times. Catching airflow and ice buildup early helps protect major components like the compressor and inverter.

Helpful troubleshooting resources

• Use the Samsung rh22 and rh29 models side by side refrigerator error codes guide to match any display code to a likely system (fan, defrost, sensor, or communication).
• For ice-specific symptoms, follow why your Samsung fridge stopped making ice and how to fix it to narrow down water supply, freezing, and ice maker faults.

If your Samsung RH22H9010SR dispenses water but won’t make ice, the most common causes are the ice maker being turned off, the freezer being too warm, an ice jam, or restricted flow through the filter or fill tube. Use the RH22H9010SR owner's manual to confirm the exact ice maker ON/OFF and test steps.

Quick checks that fix most “no ice” problems

• Confirm the ice maker is switched ON and the ice bin is seated fully.
• Set the freezer to 0°F (typical target for ice production).
• Dump old clumped ice; check for a jam at the ice chute door.
• Replace the water filter if it is overdue or flow seems weaker; use refrigerator water filter DA29-00020B.
• Make sure the water supply valve to the refrigerator is fully open.
• After any change, allow 12 to 24 hours for normal ice production.

Step-by-step troubleshooting (in the right order)

1. Check freezer temperature first: If the freezer is above about 10°F, the ice maker often stops cycling.
2. Inspect the fill tube (behind/above the ice maker): If it is frozen, thaw it with the freezer door open for a short period (protect food), then restore temperature.
3. Look for an ice maker stall: If the mold is dry and never fills, suspect a frozen fill tube or a fill problem.
4. Reset/test the ice maker (per the manual): Many Samsung units have a test/reset routine that forces a harvest cycle.

What the symptoms usually mean

Symptom	Most likely cause	What to do
Water dispenser works, ice mold stays dry	Frozen fill tube or ice maker not calling for water	Thaw fill tube; run ice maker test/reset
Small/hollow cubes	Restricted water flow (often filter)	Replace filter; purge air from lines
Ice maker cycles but no cubes drop	Ice jam or bin/chute issue	Clear jam; check chute door seal
No sound/movement from ice maker	Ice maker module issue	Follow manual test; replace ice maker if it fails

Why it matters

Ice makers need colder temperatures and a clear fill path; the water dispenser can still work even when the ice maker fill tube is partially frozen or the ice maker is disabled.
