Samsung RF22KREDBSR/AA-01 refrigerator Parts

On your Samsung RF22KREDBSR bottom-mount refrigerator, the bottom glass shelf removes by lifting the front edge, sliding it forward to clear the rear supports, then turning the shelf slightly sideways to pass the door opening. Use the steps in the owner's manual for the exact shelf and rail layout.

• Remove food items and bins that block the shelf from sliding forward.
• Lift the front of the shelf slightly to unweight it from the side rails.
• Slide the shelf straight forward until the rear edge clears the back supports.
• Rotate the shelf diagonally (one front corner up) to clear the door opening.
• If the shelf has a stop notch, lift and angle the shelf to get past the notch before pulling it out.

Most “stuck shelf” issues are caused by ice buildup, misaligned rails, or the shelf sitting in a stop position.

• Check for frost or ice along the back wall or under the shelf; let it melt before forcing the glass.
• Make sure both sides are lifted evenly; twisting can bind the shelf in the rails.
• Pull the shelf forward only after it is lifted; dragging can catch on the stop notch.
• Inspect for broken shelf supports or a warped shelf frame.

Removing the shelf the right way prevents chipped glass, cracked shelf frames, and bent shelf rails. It also helps avoid damage that can lead to poor door closing and temperature swings.

If a shelf support, rail, or nearby component is damaged, you can look up replacement parts for RF22KREDBSR on the parts list for this model, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

The Samsung RF22KREDBSR measures 35 3/4 in. wide. Depending on whether hinges and handles are installed, overall height is about 68 7/8 to 70 in., and depth ranges from about 24 to 31 in. For planning, confirm your exact configuration in the RF22KREDBSR owner's manual.

Use the set that matches how your refrigerator will be installed and measured.

• With hinges, handles, and doors (WxHxD): 35 3/4" x 70" x 31"
• Without hinges and door (WxHxD): 35 3/4" x 68 7/8" x 24"
• With hinge and door, no handle (WxHxD): 35 3/4" x 70" x 28 5/8"

• Measure the cabinet opening width at the front and back.
• Check height clearance to the top cabinet or soffit (include flooring).
• Confirm depth with doors closed, and allow room for door swing.
• Plan for rear clearance for the water line and airflow.
• Verify your path: doorways, hall turns, and stair landings.

Getting the right hinge and handle configuration prevents tight installs, rubbing doors, and poor airflow, which can affect cooling performance and ice maker operation. If you are also planning a water hookup or filter change, you can order model-matched parts from this page or search by model on Sears PartsDirect.

The most common issues we see with Samsung refrigerators like model RF22KREDBSR are cooling problems (warm fridge or freezer), ice maker failures, and water dispensing issues. These usually trace back to airflow restrictions, frost buildup, or a water supply or filtration problem; our owner's manual helps confirm the correct settings and checks.

• Cooling issues: fridge section warm, freezer OK (or both warm)
• Ice maker problems: no ice, small cubes, clumping, or ice buildup in the ice room
• Water dispenser issues: slow flow, bad taste, or no water
• Frost buildup: noisy fan, reduced airflow, temperature swings
• Door sealing problems: moisture, condensation, or uneven temps

1. Confirm temperature settings and that “Power Cool/Freeze” is not masking a problem (see the owner's manual).
2. Make sure vents inside the fresh food section are not blocked by food packages.
3. Clean dust from the condenser area; poor heat release can cause weak cooling.
4. If water or ice is slow, replace the filter and purge air from the lines.
5. Look for frost on the back wall inside the refrigerator; heavy frost often points to a defrost or airflow issue.

Cooling and ice maker complaints often share the same root causes: restricted airflow, incorrect temperatures, or water supply problems. Fixing the underlying cause protects food safety, prevents repeat failures, and reduces strain on the compressor.

Most bottom-freezer refrigerators, including Samsung bottom-mount models like RF22KREDBSR, typically last 15 to 20 years with normal household use and basic maintenance. Keeping airflow clear, seals tight, and temperatures stable helps you reach the upper end of that range; see the RF22KREDBSR owner's manual for model-specific care guidance.

A bottom-freezer fridge has more moving parts than a basic top-freezer (fans, defrost system, ice maker, dispenser), so lifespan depends heavily on how hard those systems work.

• 15 to 20 years is the normal lifespan range for bottom-freezer and French-door refrigerators
• Heavy ice maker use and frequent door openings can shorten lifespan
• Poor condenser airflow (dust, pet hair) increases compressor run time
• Warm kitchens and tight built-in clearances add stress to the sealed system
• A worn door seal can cause longer run times and temperature swings

These steps reduce compressor load, prevent icing, and protect food temperatures.

• Vacuum dust from the condenser area and vents regularly
• Keep doors closed as much as possible; avoid “browsing” with the door open
• Set stable temps (most homes do well around 37°F fresh food and 0°F freezer)
• Replace the water filter on schedule if you use the dispenser; use refrigerator water filter DA29-00019A
• If you see water under drawers or ice buildup, clear the drain system; a damaged drain cap can contribute, such as refrigerator drain cap DA67-01301A

Knowing the expected lifespan helps us plan maintenance and decide when a repair (like a sensor, valve, or ice maker issue) is a smart investment versus when replacement is more cost-effective.
