Samsung RFG237AARS/XAA-04 refrigerator Parts

The Samsung RFG237AARS has a total capacity of 23 cu. ft., with about 15.9 cu. ft. in the fresh food (refrigerator) section and 6.7 cu. ft. in the freezer. For feature and compartment details, use the RFG237AARS owner's manual.

Capacity breakdown (what those numbers mean)

• Total capacity: 23 cu. ft.
• Refrigerator (fresh food): 15.9 cu. ft.
• Freezer: 6.7 cu. ft.
• Capacity is measured as interior storage volume, not exterior size.
• Shelves, bins, and the ice maker can reduce usable space compared to the raw volume.

Quick reference table

Section	Capacity	Typical use
Fresh food compartment	15.9 cu. ft.	Everyday refrigerated items, produce drawers, door bins
Freezer drawer	6.7 cu. ft.	Frozen foods, upper drawer storage
Total	23 cu. ft.	Combined interior storage

Why it matters

Capacity helps you compare refrigerators and plan storage, but day-to-day usability also depends on layout (shelves, drawers, and door storage). The RFG237AARS layout and features are shown in the RFG237AARS owner's manual.

For the Samsung RFG237AARS, the cabinet dimensions are about 35 6/8 inches wide, 28 inches deep, and 68 1/2 inches high. The manual also lists an overall depth of about 30 1/2 inches and an overall height of about 69 6/8 inches (these “overall” numbers typically include doors and hinges). See the RFG237AARS owner's manual for the exact measurement chart and clearance notes.

Dimension chart (from the manual)

Measurement	Approx. size
Cabinet width	35 6/8 in
Cabinet depth	28 in
Cabinet height	68 1/2 in
Overall depth	30 1/2 in
Overall height	69 6/8 in

How to measure it correctly at home

To avoid fit issues, we recommend measuring your refrigerator the same way installers do:

• Measure width at the widest point (often the doors).
• Measure depth from the back to the front of the doors; include handles if they stick out.
• Measure height to the top hinge cover (not just the cabinet).
• Measure your doorways and hallways before moving the unit.
• Plan for door swing space, especially next to a fixed wall.

Clearance you should plan for

The manual calls out installation space for airflow and door swing. In most kitchens, that means:

• Leave space on the right, left, back, and top for air circulation.
• If installed next to a fixed wall, allow about 3 3/4 inches (95 mm) so the door can swing open.
• If you have an ice maker, allow extra space behind for the water line connection.

Why it matters

Correct dimensions and clearances help prevent poor cooling, noisy operation, and doors that cannot open fully. They also reduce the chance of damaging flooring or cabinets during installation.

If your Samsung RFG237AARS isn’t making ice in the bottom freezer, the most common causes are the freezer ice maker being turned off, the freezer temperature being too warm, or the water supply not reaching the ice maker (shutoff valve closed, kinked line, or a restricted filter). Use the steps in the owner's manual to confirm settings and restore normal ice production.

Quick checks that fix most “no ice” problems

• Make sure Freezer Ice Off is not enabled; if it is, the freezer will not produce ice.
• Confirm the water line is connected and the shut-off valve is fully open.
• Look for a crushed or kinked water supply tube behind the refrigerator.
• If the unit was just installed or the water line was just connected, wait at least 12 hours for ice production.
• Set the freezer colder; the recommended freezer setting is typically -2°F.
• Close the freezer drawer fully; poor sealing can warm the compartment and slow ice making.

Step-by-step troubleshooting (in order)

1. Check the control panel setting: verify the freezer ice function is on (not “Ice Off”).
2. Check freezer temperature: if it is warm, lower the set temperature and avoid frequent door openings.
3. Verify water supply: confirm the shutoff valve is open and the line is not kinked.
4. Rule out a restricted filter: if water flow at the dispenser is slow, replace the filter.
5. Reset the refrigerator: unplug for about 10 minutes, then plug back in and allow time for the ice maker to cycle.

Parts that commonly solve “no ice” on this model

Symptom	What it points to	Part to consider
Slow water at dispenser and little or no ice	Restricted water filter	Samsung refrigerator water filter DA29-00003G
Ice maker area frosts up, fan noise changes, ice production drops	Defrost or airflow issue in fresh food section (can affect overall cooling)	Refrigerator fresh food evaporator cover and fan assembly DA97-11772B
Ice production is inconsistent and temperatures seem off	Temperature sensing issue	Refrigerator temperature sensor DA32-00033C

Why it matters

The ice maker depends on two things: cold enough freezer temperatures and steady water flow. If either is interrupted (Ice Off enabled, warm freezer, closed valve, kinked line, clogged filter), the ice maker stops or produces very slowly.
