Samsung RS263BBWP/XAA-00 refrigerator Parts

The Samsung RS263BBWP side-by-side refrigerator is 26.1 cubic feet total capacity. This capacity is the overall interior storage volume (fresh food plus freezer) and is the spec used when comparing refrigerator sizes.

In the owner's manual, the RS263 model family (RS263/RS264/RS265/RS267/RS269) is listed with a 26.1 cu. ft. capacity.

Even with a 26.1 cu. ft. rating, usable space depends on features and how you load it. Common factors include:

• Ice maker and ice bin space in the freezer
• Shelf and bin layout (spill-proof shelves, door bins)
• Airflow clearance needed around vents (Multi-Flow cooling)
• Large packaging and how tightly items are packed

Capacity helps you choose the right refrigerator size for your household, but the dimensions matter just as much for fit through doorways and for installation clearance. If you are measuring for a move or replacement, use the dimension table above and confirm your doorway measurements in the owner's manual.

For your Samsung RS263BBWP refrigerator, we find the correct part number by matching the model and serial information from the rating label inside the fresh food section to the parts list for that exact model. This prevents ordering a look-alike part that will not fit or connect correctly.

On most Samsung side-by-side models like RS263BBWP, the model and serial label is inside the refrigerator compartment (fresh food side), typically on a side wall.

• Open the fresh food door and look along the left interior wall first
• Check the right interior wall if you do not see it on the left
• Write down the full model number and the full serial number
• Take a clear photo of the label (helps avoid typos)
• Use the model number to filter the parts list, then confirm the part name and diagram location

Once you have the model number, use the parts diagrams for RS263BBWP and match by function and location (for example: water filtration, ice maker, defrost, airflow).

If you are trying to identify a part you already suspect is failing, these are common “search by part” items for this model:

• Water filter: Samsung refrigerator water filter DA29-00003G
• Ice maker: refrigerator ice maker assembly DA97-02203G
• Freezer fan motor (noisy or warm freezer): refrigerator freezer evaporator fan motor DA31-00146E
• Defrost issue symptoms (frost buildup, warm temps): refrigerator defrost heater DA47-00322H

Samsung often uses similar-looking components across multiple refrigerator families; the correct part number depends on the exact model and sometimes the serial-based revision. Using the model label plus the diagrams is the fastest way to get the right replacement the first time.

For model-specific label location details and parts identification tips, use the owner's manual.

The most common issues we see on the Samsung RS263BBWP side-by-side refrigerator involve ice maker and dispenser problems, weak or no water dispensing, warm temperatures from airflow/defrost faults, and water leaks from a clogged drain. Use the RS263BBWP owner's manual to confirm control settings and diagnostic steps.

• Not making ice or slow ice production: frozen fill tube, low water pressure, or a failing ice maker
• Ice dispenser not dispensing or clumping: jammed ice bucket, dispenser solenoid issue, or auger drive problems
• No water from dispenser: clogged filter, restricted supply line, or a sticking inlet valve
• Fridge or freezer too warm: evaporator fan not running, heavy frost from a defrost failure, or blocked vents
• Water under the crisper or on the floor: defrost drain clog or drain grommet not sealing

If your symptoms match, these model-compatible parts are commonly involved:

• Refrigerator ice maker assembly DA97-02203G for no ice or irregular ice harvest
• Samsung refrigerator water filter DA29-00003G for slow water flow or bad taste/odor
• Kenmore pro refrigerator water inlet valve DA62-00914B for no water to dispenser or ice maker
• Refrigerator freezer evaporator fan motor DA31-00146E for warm temps and poor airflow
• Refrigerator defrost heater DA47-00322H and refrigerator defrost thermal fuse DA47-00301F for heavy frost and warming
• Refrigerator drain tube grommet DA63-00951C for recurring drain leaks

• Verify freezer is set near 0°F and fresh food near 37°F.
• Make sure air vents are not blocked by food packages.
• Dump the ice bin and check for clumps or a jam at the chute.
• Replace the water filter if flow is weak or it is older than 6 months.
• Listen for the evaporator fan; a silent fan often points to a fan motor or frost buildup.

Catching airflow, defrost, and water-supply issues early prevents food spoilage, reduces ice and dispenser jams, and helps avoid recurring leaks that can damage flooring.
