Samsung RH22H9010SR/AA-05 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 exact exterior dimensions (height, width, depth with handles), use the measurements listed in the RH22H9010SR owner's manual.

What “how big” usually means (and what to check)

When customers ask how big a refrigerator is, we typically confirm these specs:

• Width: most 36-inch models measure close to 36 inches wide
• Depth: counter-depth units are designed to sit closer to standard counters (handles can add depth)
• Height: varies by model and leveling leg setting
• Capacity: total storage volume in cubic feet
• Clearances: space needed for airflow and door swing

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

Because the exact dimension callouts are model-specific, we use these common ranges as a planning guide and then confirm in the manual.

Measurement	Typical range for this style	What can change it
Width	~35 7/8 to 36 inches	door alignment, trim, hinges
Depth (cabinet)	~24 to 28 inches	rear spacing, water line
Depth (with handles)	often ~30+ inches	handle style and projection
Height	often ~69 to 71 inches	leveling legs, hinge covers

Why it matters

Getting the size right prevents delivery-day surprises. Counter-depth refrigerators like the RH22H9010SR can still extend past cabinets once you include handles, door swing, and rear clearance for the water line and ventilation.

Quick fit checklist before you buy or move it

• Measure the opening width at the front and back
• Measure height to the lowest cabinet or soffit
• Measure depth to the wall, then add room for handles
• Confirm you have space for doors to open fully
• Plan a path through doorways and hallways (often the tightest spot)

Cooling problems and ice maker issues are the most common complaints we see on Samsung refrigerators, including the Samsung RH22H9010SR. Many symptoms trace back to restricted airflow, dirty condenser coils, a weak door seal, or a water/ice system restriction. For model-specific operating and care details, use the RH22H9010SR owner's manual.

Most common issues (and what they look like)

• Not cooling or warm temperatures: food softening, freezer not holding 0°F
• Ice maker not making ice: empty ice bin, slow production, small cubes
• Water dispenser slow or no water: weak stream, sputtering
• Frost buildup: heavy frost on the back wall or around vents
• Leaking/puddles: water under crisper drawers or on the floor

Quick checks we recommend first

1. Confirm settings: refrigerator about 37°F and freezer about 0°F.
2. Make sure vents are not blocked by food packages.
3. Clean condenser area and verify the condenser fan is running.
4. Inspect door gaskets for gaps, tears, or areas that do not grip paper.
5. If water or ice is weak, replace the filter and flush the system.

Parts that commonly solve water and ice complaints

Symptom	Common cause	Part to consider for RH22H9010SR
Slow water, no ice, odd-tasting water	Clogged filter	Refrigerator water filter DA29-00020B
Ice maker stops or cycles poorly	Failed ice maker module	Refrigerator ice maker DA97-14253A

Why it matters

Cooling and ice issues often get worse over time. A restricted condenser, air leak at the door gasket, or a clogged water filter can force longer run times, reduce ice production, and lead to temperature swings that spoil food.

Helpful DIY guidance

• Use why your Samsung fridge stopped making ice and how to fix it for step-by-step ice maker troubleshooting.
• If the display shows a code, check Samsung rh22 and rh29 models side by side refrigerator error codes to narrow the failure to a sensor, fan, or defrost issue.

Most Samsung refrigerators (including model RH22H9010SR) do not have a single dedicated “reset button.” Instead, we reset specific functions (like the control panel, ice maker, or filter indicator) using button combinations or by power-cycling the refrigerator; see the RH22H9010SR owner's manual for the exact steps.

Common ways to reset a Samsung refrigerator

Try the reset method that matches the symptom you’re seeing:

• Control panel acting frozen or unresponsive: press and hold two top/front panel buttons together for about 10 seconds (common on many Samsung side-by-side models).
• General “soft reset” for odd behavior: unplug the refrigerator (or switch the breaker off) for 2 to 5 minutes, then restore power.
• After replacing the water filter: reset the filter indicator (often by holding Filter Reset or a designated button for 3 seconds).
• Ice maker not producing: turn the ice maker off, wait 30 seconds, then turn it on; if your model has a test function, use it per the manual.
• Error code showing: note the code first, then reset power; if it returns, troubleshoot the specific system.

Quick reset guide (what to try first)

What’s happening	Best first reset to try	What it affects
Display won’t respond	Hold 2 panel buttons ~10 sec	User interface/control lock state
Random glitches after outage	Unplug 2 to 5 min	Main control reboot
Filter light is on	Hold filter reset ~3 sec	Filter indicator only
Ice issues	Ice maker off/on	Ice maker cycle/logic

Why it matters

Using the right reset prevents unnecessary part replacement. For example, a filter light reset does not fix low water flow; that points to the filter, housing, or supply. If flow is slow or tastes off, replacing the refrigerator water filter DA29-00020B is a common first step.

When a reset is not enough

If symptoms return right away, focus on the system involved:

• No cooling or warm temps: check condenser airflow and listen for the condenser fan.
• No ice but water dispenses: check freezer temperature and ice maker fill.
• No water dispensing: confirm the shutoff valve is open and the filter is seated.
• Repeated error codes: use the Samsung rh22 and rh29 models side by side refrigerator error codes reference to identify the circuit involved.

If your Samsung RH22H9010SR refrigerator is running but not cooling, the most common causes are restricted airflow (blocked vents or heavy frost), dirty condenser coils, a door that is not sealing, or a failed cooling component such as the evaporator fan, condenser fan, or compressor. Use the checks below to pinpoint the issue fast.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Confirm the temperature settings were not accidentally changed.
• Make sure food packages are not blocking air vents in the fresh food or freezer sections.
• Check for heavy frost on the rear freezer panel (a defrost problem can stop airflow).
• Inspect the door gasket for gaps, tears, or grime; clean the sealing surfaces.
• Clean dust from the condenser coil area and verify the condenser fan is running.

What to do based on what you see

What you notice	Most likely cause	What we do next
Freezer is cold, fridge is warm	Airflow issue (damper or evaporator fan)	Check vents and listen for the evaporator fan; inspect the damper area
Both sections are warm, unit runs a lot	Dirty coils, condenser fan issue, sealed system/compressor issue	Clean coils; confirm condenser fan operation; then move to compressor checks
Frost blanket on freezer back wall	Defrost system problem	Defrost fully, then troubleshoot heater/sensor/control
Door pops open or won’t stay sealed	Door alignment or gasket issue	Clean gasket, check hinges/leveling, replace gasket if damaged

Parts that commonly relate to “runs but won’t cool”

These are model-matched parts we often see involved when cooling performance drops:

• Refrigerator condenser fan motor assembly DA97-15765C (moves air across the condenser coils)
• Samsung refrigerator compressor MKV190CL2BASH (pumps refrigerant through the sealed system)
• Refrigerator compressor overload protector DA34-00004D (can prevent the compressor from starting)
• Samsung refrigerator air damper control assembly DA97-13749D (controls cold-air flow into the fridge section)

Why it matters

A refrigerator can sound “normal” while temperatures rise because the fans and compressor may be running without effective heat removal or airflow. Catching a simple issue (blocked vents, dirty coils, poor door seal) early helps prevent food spoilage and reduces strain on the compressor.

For model-specific operating details and control settings, use the RH22H9010SR owner’s manual.
