How big is the Samsung rh22h9010sr?
The Samsung RH22H9010SR side-by-side refrigerator is approximately 35 7/8 in. wide, 68 1/2 in. tall (about 69 6/8 in. overall height), and about 28 1/4 in. deep based on the RH22* dimension chart in the RH22H9010SR owner's manual.
- Width (B): 35 7/8 in. (912 mm)
- Height (C): 68 1/2 in. (1742 mm)
- Overall height (D): 69 6/8 in. (1774 mm)
- Depth (A): 28 2/8 in. (718 mm)
- Depth (E): 28 1/4 in. (721 mm)
| Measurement | Label in manual | Approx. size |
|---|---|---|
| Width | B | 35 7/8 in. |
| Cabinet height | C | 68 1/2 in. |
| Overall height | D | 69 6/8 in. |
| Depth | A or E | About 28 1/4 to 28 2/8 in. |
- Measure width at the tightest point between cabinets or walls.
- Measure height from floor to the lowest overhead obstruction.
- Measure depth from the back wall to the front edge of the surrounding cabinetry.
- Plan extra room for door swing and air circulation around the sides, back, and top.
Correct width, height, and depth measurements help prevent installation problems like doors that cannot open fully, restricted airflow that hurts cooling performance, or a refrigerator that will not slide into a counter-depth cutout cleanly.

What is the most common problem with Samsung refrigerators?
For Samsung side-by-side refrigerators like model RH22H9010SR, the most common customer-reported problems are ice maker issues (no ice, freezing up, leaking) and cooling performance problems caused by restricted airflow, frost buildup, or fan/defrost-related trouble. Checking airflow and the ice and water system first solves many complaints.
- Ice maker stops making ice: empty ice bucket, slow production, or clumped ice
- Ice maker freezes up: ice buildup around the ice room or chute
- Water leaks: often tied to the water filter, water line, or blocked drains
- Poor cooling in fresh food section: warm fridge, freezer seems OK
- Overcooling or uneven temps: items freezing near vents, warm spots elsewhere
Start with these simple, high-impact steps from the care and use guidance in the RH22H9010SR owner's manual:
- Do not block cold air outlets/vents with food packages
- Confirm doors close and seal fully (gaps cause frost and temp swings)
- Verify water pressure is in range for ice maker operation (typically 20 to 125 psi)
- If power was interrupted, wait at least 5 minutes before plugging back in
- If you will be away, shut off the water valve to help prevent leaks
If troubleshooting points to a failed component, these are frequent suspects for this model:
| Symptom | Common area to inspect | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| No ice or small cubes | Water filtration or supply | Refrigerator water filter DA29-00020B |
| Warm temps, noisy back | Condenser airflow | Condenser fan motor assembly |
| Ice clumping or dispensing issues | Ice bucket/auger area | Ice container, auger motor |
Ice maker and cooling problems can lead to food spoilage, recurring leaks, and heavy frost that blocks airflow. Keeping vents clear and maintaining the water filter and water supply helps the refrigerator cool evenly and make ice reliably.
For model-specific fault displays, use Samsung rh22 and rh29 models side by side refrigerator error codes.

Why is my refrigerator running but not cooling on my Samsung?
If your Samsung RH22H9010SR refrigerator sounds like it’s running but isn’t getting cold, the most common causes are Cooling Off (Shop/Demo) mode, blocked air vents, or airflow problems from frost buildup or a failed fan. Start with the quick checks in the RH22H9010SR owner's manual.
- Confirm Cooling Off mode is not on: In this mode, lights and fans can run but the compressor does not cool.
- Make sure interior air vents are not blocked by food packages or bags.
- Check door closing and sealing: a door left slightly open can cause warm temps and heavy frost.
- Power reset correctly: unplug the refrigerator, wait at least 5 minutes, then plug it back in.
- Listen for fan airflow: weak or no airflow points to an evaporator fan or frost blockage.
Your manual explains that Cooling Off mode is used for display; the fan motor and lights work normally, but the refrigerator will not get cold.
| What you notice | What it usually means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Temps not dropping, unit seems “on” | Cooling Off mode enabled | Hold Freezer + Lighting + Fridge for 5 seconds to toggle off |
| Display flashes “OFF” | Cooling Off mode active | Repeat the same 5-second button hold |
If vents are clear and Cooling Off mode is off, focus on cooling-system basics:
- Frosted evaporator area can block airflow and mimic a cooling failure.
- Condenser-side airflow problems can reduce cooling and raise cabinet temps.
- Sealed system or compressor issues can cause “running” sounds with little cooling.
If you suspect a compressor-related problem, the model uses a compressor assembly such as the Samsung refrigerator compressor MKV190CL2BASH.
Running warm for even a day can push food into unsafe temperatures and can also drive heavy frost buildup that makes the refrigerator cool even worse.

Why is my Samsung refrigerator not making ice but water works?
If your Samsung RH22H9010SR dispenses water but won’t make ice, the most common causes are the ice maker being turned off, the freezer not cold enough, low water pressure to the ice maker (needs 20 to 125 psi), or an ice jam in the bucket or fill tube. Use the RH22H9010SR owner's manual to confirm the exact button sequence and indicators on your control panel.
- Make sure Ice Maker Off is not enabled; if it is, turn the ice maker back on.
- Confirm Control Lock is off; when it’s on, the dispenser will not dispense ice or water.
- Set the freezer to 0°F (-18°C) and allow 24 hours for ice production to recover.
- Pull out the ice bucket; dump clumped ice and reinstall it fully.
- After a power outage, discard old ice and press the dispenser lever once with Cubed or Crushed selected.
Water dispensing proves the refrigerator has water supply, but the ice maker has extra “must-haves” like steady freezer temperature, a clear fill path, and enough pressure.
| Symptom | Most likely cause | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| No ice at all | Ice maker turned off | Turn ice maker on at the control panel |
| Small or hollow cubes | Low water pressure | Verify supply is 20 to 125 psi; correct supply restriction |
| Ice bucket empty but you hear valve noise | Frozen/clogged fill tube or line | Defrost the area; check for recurring freeze-ups |
| Cubes stuck together | Door opened often or recent power failure | Empty bucket; make fresh ice |
If the checks above don’t restore ice production, these model-compatible parts are common fixes:
- Refrigerator water filter DA29-00020B (a restricted filter can reduce flow to the ice maker)
- Ice maker assembly (if the mold won’t fill or harvest)
When the ice maker can’t fill correctly, it can cycle without producing ice, waste time, and create intermittent issues that look like a control problem. Confirming temperature, pressure, and jams first prevents unnecessary part replacement.
