Samsung RSG307AARS/XAA-01 refrigerator Parts

For the Samsung RSG307AARS side-by-side refrigerator, the most common issues are ice maker and dispenser problems, warm temperatures from airflow or fan failures, water leaks from drain or tubing issues, and door closing or sealing problems. We use the troubleshooting steps in the owner's manual to pinpoint the cause.

Most common symptoms and likely causes

• Not making ice or slow ice production: ice maker fault, frozen fill path, low water flow, or dispenser door not sealing
• Warm fridge or freezer: evaporator fan not running, condenser fan problem, dirty condenser area, or temperature sensor issue
• Water leaking or puddles: clogged/iced defrost drain, cracked drain tray, or loose water tube fitting
• Noisy operation: condenser fan blade hitting, failing fan motor, or compressor start components
• Door not closing well: worn closer/cam, hinge alignment, or door switch/door magnet issues

Parts that commonly relate to these problems

If your symptom matches, these model-compatible parts are often involved:

Symptom	Common part to check	What it does
Warm temps, poor airflow	Refrigerator evaporator fan motor DA31-00211B	Circulates cold air through compartments
Noisy back/bottom area	Refrigerator condenser fan DA31-00146B	Moves air across condenser coils
Ice clumping or dispenser issues	Samsung refrigerator ice maker DA97-11092B	Produces ice for the bin/dispenser
Water under unit	Refrigerator drain tray DA97-08460F	Collects defrost water before evaporation
Door not self-closing	Refrigerator door closer DA66-00558B	Helps pull the door shut and keep a seal

Quick checks we recommend before replacing parts

• Confirm temperature settings; allow 24 hours after changes
• Make sure vents inside the fridge/freezer are not blocked by food packages
• Listen for the evaporator fan with the door closed (door switch held in)
• Inspect the ice chute area for frost buildup that prevents sealing
• Check for water line kinks and verify strong water flow at the dispenser

Why it matters

These issues affect food safety, ice and water performance, and energy use. Catching a weak fan, a leaking drain path, or a door that does not seal early helps prevent bigger cooling and moisture problems.

A Samsung side-by-side refrigerator like model RSG307AARS typically lasts 13 years with normal household use. Lifespan depends most on condenser airflow, door seal condition, and how hard the ice maker and compressor have to work.

Typical lifespan and what affects it

Most refrigerators reach their full service life when they can cool efficiently and run without overheating.

• Keep the condenser area clean so heat can dissipate properly
• Make sure doors close and seal tightly to prevent long run times
• Replace clogged water filtration components on schedule (if equipped)
• Avoid overpacking; it blocks air circulation in the fresh food and freezer sections
• Address unusual noises early (fan, auger, or compressor strain)

Quick care checklist for longer life

Use these routine steps and the maintenance guidance in the owner's manual.

Task	How often	Why it helps
Vacuum condenser area and vents	Every 6 months	Reduces compressor heat and run time
Check door closing and alignment	Monthly	Prevents warm air leaks and frost
Confirm temps are stable (37°F fridge, 0°F freezer)	Monthly	Avoids overworking the sealed system
Clear ice buildup and keep air paths open	As needed	Protects evaporator fan and cooling performance

When a repair makes sense vs replacement

If cooling is inconsistent, ice production stops, or you hear repeated clicking at the back, a targeted repair often restores performance.

Common parts involved on this model include:

• Samsung refrigerator compressor MKV190CL2BASH (sealed system cooling)
• Refrigerator condenser fan DA31-00146B (moves heat off the condenser)
• Refrigerator electronic control board DA92-00175B (manages cooling and defrost)

Why it matters

A refrigerator near end-of-life often runs longer and warmer, which can spoil food and increase energy use. Basic airflow and sealing maintenance reduces stress on the compressor and fans, which are the highest-impact components.

The Samsung RSG307AARS side-by-side refrigerator has a total capacity of about 28.5 cu. ft., with about 8.8 cu. ft. in the freezer. For the exact breakdown for your unit and configuration, confirm the specs in the RSG307AARS owner's manual.

Capacity details (what the numbers mean)

Capacity is the usable interior volume; it helps you compare storage space across refrigerators.

• Total capacity includes both fresh food and freezer sections.
• Freezer capacity is the freezer compartment volume.
• Fresh food capacity is typically the remainder (total minus freezer).
• Shelves, bins, and the ice maker can slightly reduce usable space.

Quick capacity snapshot

Section	Capacity (cu. ft.)
Total	28.5
Freezer	8.8
Fresh food (approx.)	19.7

Why it matters

Capacity affects day-to-day fit for groceries, frozen foods, and ice storage. It also helps when you are comparing replacement parts (like an ice maker) or planning kitchen layout and food storage.
