What are the dimensions of the Samsung RF28JBEDBSG AA?
The Samsung RF28JBEDBSG bottom-mount refrigerator is typically about 35 3/4 inches wide, and the overall height and depth change depending on whether you measure with hinges and handles installed. For the exact configuration dimensions and required clearances, use the RF28JBEDBSG owner's manual.
These are the standard planning measurements used for this Samsung RF28JBEDBSG model family (listed as W x H x D):
- With hinges, handles, and doors: 35 3/4" x 70" x 36 1/2"
- With hinges and doors, no handle: 35 3/4" x 70" x 34"
- Without hinges and door: 35 3/4" x 68 7/8" x 29 3/8"
| Measurement configuration | Width | Height | Depth |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hinges + handles + doors | 35 3/4" | 70" | 36 1/2" |
| Hinges + doors (no handle) | 35 3/4" | 70" | 34" |
| No hinges, no door | 35 3/4" | 68 7/8" | 29 3/8" |
- Measure the cabinet opening width in 3 spots (top, middle, bottom); use the smallest.
- Measure height to the lowest cabinet/soffit; include room for leveling feet.
- Measure depth to the wall; account for baseboards and the water line.
- Plan for door swing and drawer pull-out clearance.
- If depth is tight, plan around the no-handle depth and confirm handle projection.
On French door and bottom-freezer refrigerators, hinges and handles can add meaningful depth. Using the correct configuration prevents blocked walkways and ensures doors open fully for bins, shelves, and the ice container.

What is the most common problem with Samsung refrigerators?
The most common Samsung refrigerator problems are cooling issues (warm fresh-food section, frost buildup) and ice maker problems (no ice, clumping, leaks). On the Samsung RF28JBEDBSG, these symptoms most often trace back to airflow, defrost, or water-supply components; use the RF28JBEDBSG owner's manual for model-specific checks and settings.
- Fridge section warms up while the freezer still seems cold
- Frost or ice buildup on the evaporator cover, reduced airflow
- Ice maker stops producing, makes small cubes, or clumps ice
- Water dispenser slows down or stops
- Unusual fan noise, especially after doors close
Cooling and ice issues typically come from a few systems that work together:
| Symptom | Most likely system | Example part on this model page |
|---|---|---|
| Warm fridge, uneven temps | Evaporator airflow or sensing | Refrigerator temperature sensor DA32-10104N |
| Frost buildup, warm fridge | Defrost protection/thermostat | Refrigerator protector DA47-00243B |
| No ice or slow ice production | Ice room airflow or ice path sealing | Refrigerator dispenser ice chute cap and gasket assembly DA97-12594A |
| No water to dispenser/ice maker | Water supply valve or restriction | Refrigerator water inlet valve DA62-04027A |
| Weak water flow, bad taste | Filter restriction | Refrigerator water filter DA29-00019A |
- Confirm temperatures: set fresh food to about 37°F and freezer to about 0°F.
- Check door sealing and loading: blocked vents and frequent door openings cause warm spots.
- Look for frost patterns: heavy frost behind the rear panel points to a defrost or airflow problem.
- For ice maker issues: make sure the ice bin seats fully and the chute door closes tightly.
- For water issues: replace the filter if it is overdue; then purge air by dispensing water for a few minutes.
Cooling and ice maker complaints often share the same root cause: restricted airflow or restricted water flow. Fixing the underlying system (sensor, defrost protection, inlet valve, or filter) prevents repeat icing, warm temperatures, and food spoilage.
For model-specific ice maker troubleshooting steps, we also recommend why your Samsung fridge stopped making ice and how to fix it.

Why is my Samsung fridge not making ice in the bottom freezer?
If your Samsung RF28JBEDBSG refrigerator is not making ice, the most common causes are restricted water flow (often a clogged filter), a problem filling the ice maker (valve or frozen line), or an airflow/temperature issue in the ice room. Use the RF28JBEDBSG owner's manual to confirm the exact reset and test steps for your control panel.
- Make sure the ice maker is turned ON and the ice bin is seated fully.
- Confirm the freezer is cold enough; target 0°F for normal ice production.
- Replace the water filter if it is overdue; a restricted filter can stop or slow ice fill.
- Dispense water at the door (if equipped); weak flow points to a supply or filter issue.
- Look for ice clumps in the bin that can block the auger and make it seem like no ice is being made.
When the basics check out, these model-matched parts are the most common next steps:
| Symptom you see | Likely area | Model-matched part to consider |
|---|---|---|
| Slow fill, hollow cubes, or no fill | Filtration or water supply restriction | Refrigerator water filter DA29-00019A |
| No fill but water supply is good | Valve not opening or opening weakly | Refrigerator water inlet valve DA62-04027A |
| Ice maker area warm, fan noise changes | Ice room/evaporator airflow problem | Refrigerator ice maker evaporator fan DA97-12540A |
Ice makers are sensitive to both water pressure and freezer temperature. A small restriction (filter) or a small temperature rise (fan/airflow) can stop ice production even when the refrigerator still seems to cool normally.
- Follow the step-by-step troubleshooting in why your Samsung fridge stopped making ice and how to fix it.
- If you are replacing the filter, use how to replace the water filter in a Samsung refrigerator to avoid leaks and to flush the system properly.
