How do I reset my Samsung bottom freezer refrigerator?
To reset your Samsung RF24FSEDBSR refrigerator, we recommend doing a control panel reset first: press and hold the top two control panel buttons together for about 10 seconds, then release and wait for the display to return to normal. This clears many minor control glitches.
- Control panel reset: Press and hold the top two buttons for ~10 seconds.
- Power reset: Unplug the refrigerator (or switch the breaker off) for 2 to 5 minutes, then restore power.
- Ice maker reset (if ice issues): Use the ice maker test/reset function described in the owner's manual.
- After a reset: Give the refrigerator 24 hours to fully stabilize temperatures.
- Close both refrigerator doors.
- Press and hold the top two buttons on the display at the same time.
- Keep holding for about 10 seconds.
- Release and wait for the panel to beep, blank, or refresh.
| Reset type | What it helps | What it will not fix |
|---|---|---|
| Control panel reset | Display glitches, unresponsive buttons, minor logic errors | Warm temps from airflow/defrost problems, sealed system issues |
| Power reset | Clears control board memory, restores normal operation after a power event | Broken parts like a failed sensor, fan, or compressor |
- Not cooling well: Confirm vents are not blocked; set fresh food to about 37°F and freezer to 0°F.
- Ice maker not working: Check the ice maker is turned on and the water supply is on; inspect for ice clumps in the bin.
- Water dispenser slow: Replace the filter and flush several gallons after installation.
- Error code showing: Use a Samsung refrigerator error code guide to match the code to the likely system.
A commonly replaced item that affects water flow and ice quality is the refrigerator water filter DA29-00019A.
A reset is the fastest way to clear a temporary control board or display issue without replacing parts. If the problem returns quickly after resetting, that points to an underlying issue such as a sensor, ice maker, or water supply problem.

What are the dimensions of the Samsung RF24FSEDBSR?
The Samsung RF24FSEDBSR refrigerator measures 32 3/4 in. W x 70 in. H x 36 1/2 in. D when measured with hinges, handles, and doors. For the full set of installation and clearance measurements, use the RF24FSEDBSR owner's manual.
These are the most-used dimension sets for planning delivery, cabinet fit, and door swing.
- With hinges, handles, and doors: 32 3/4" W x 70" H x 36 1/2" D
- Without hinges and door: 32 3/4" W x 68 7/8" H x 30" D
- With hinge and door, no handle: 32 3/4" W x 70" H x 34" D
| Measurement style | Width | Height | Depth |
|---|---|---|---|
| With hinges, handles, and doors | 32 3/4" | 70" | 36 1/2" |
| Without hinges and door | 32 3/4" | 68 7/8" | 30" |
| With hinge and door, no handle | 32 3/4" | 70" | 34" |
Depth is the measurement that most often causes fit issues because it depends on what’s included.
- Handles add depth in front
- Hinges and hinge covers add depth in back/top
- Doors can sit proud of the cabinet face
- Leveling legs and floor slope can change final positioning
Using the correct dimension set helps prevent delivery problems, doors that cannot open fully, and airflow restrictions that can lead to warm temperatures and longer compressor run times.

Why is my Samsung bottom freezer frosting up?
Frosting in the bottom freezer on your Samsung RF24FSEDBSR is almost always caused by warm, humid air leaking past the door seal or by meltwater that cannot drain during defrost and then refreezes under the drawer. Use the troubleshooting steps in the owner's manual to confirm the correct checks for your exact configuration.
- Make sure the freezer drawer closes fully and is not blocked by food packages or an overfilled bin.
- Inspect the door gasket for gaps, tears, or areas that look flattened; clean it with mild soap and warm water, then dry.
- Check for ice buildup on the freezer floor or under the lower basket; that often points to a drain issue.
- Verify the freezer temperature is set correctly (most setups run best around 0°F); overly cold settings can worsen frost patterns.
- Limit long door openings; humid kitchen air condenses and freezes quickly in the bottom compartment.
| What you notice | Most likely cause | What we recommend |
|---|---|---|
| Frost along the drawer edge or on packages near the front | Door not sealing (gasket dirty, warped, or drawer misaligned) | Clean gasket, check alignment, confirm drawer closes flush |
| Sheet of ice under the bottom basket | Defrost drain restricted; water pools and refreezes | Thaw the ice, then clear the drain path with warm water |
| Frost returns quickly after you remove it | Ongoing air leak or defrost system problem | Recheck gasket and airflow; then evaluate defrost components |
If the drain is clear and the gasket seals well, frosting can be tied to defrost sensing issues. These model-matched parts are commonly involved:
- Refrigerator temperature sensor DA32-10104N (temperature feedback that helps regulate cooling and defrost timing)
- Refrigerator protector DA47-00243C (defrost bi-metal thermostat; helps control defrost heater operation)
- Refrigerator drain tube kit DA97-04049E (helps address recurring drain freezing and water refreezing under the drawer)
Frost buildup reduces airflow through the evaporator area, which makes temperatures swing, increases run time, and can lead to ice under the drawer that interferes with closing. Fixing the air leak or drain problem restores normal defrost drainage and stable freezer performance.
