Samsung RFG237AARS/XAA-01 refrigerator Parts

On the Samsung RFG237AARS bottom-mount refrigerator, we remove the bottom freezer drawer by pulling it out fully, tilting up the rear of the bin, and lifting it straight out. For a full drawer disassembly (including the door front), we remove the upper drawer and baskets first, then unbolt the door front from the rails.

1. Pull the freezer drawer out to full extension.
2. Tilt up the rear of the bin.
3. Lift straight up and out.

• Keep the bin level as you lift so it clears the rail assembly.
• Avoid twisting the bin left or right; twisting can scratch the sides.
• Set the bin on a towel to protect the floor.

Use these steps when you need the rails exposed for cleaning, ice buildup, or access behind the drawer.

• Lift out the upper drawer.
• Remove the tilting pocket by pulling both support guards/brackets upward at the same time.
• Lift the lower basket up and out of the rail system.
• Remove the 4 hex-head bolts (two per side) using a 10 mm socket.
• Lift the freezer door front up and off the rails.

Reassembly is the reverse order. This sequence helps everything seat correctly.

A freezer drawer that is overfilled or not seated on the rails can keep the freezer from closing completely, which leads to warm temperatures and frost buildup. Correct removal and reinstallation also prevents rail damage and bin scratches.

For the exact diagrams and the bolt locations for RFG237AARS, use the RFG237AARS owner's manual. If you need replacement drawer hardware, rails, or bins, you can order parts from the list for this model or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

For the Samsung RFG237AARS French door bottom-mount refrigerator, the cabinet size is about 35 6/8 inches wide, 68 1/2 inches tall, and 28 inches deep (with an overall depth listed at 30 1/2 inches in the setup chart). For the exact measurement points (handles, hinges, and door swing), use the owner's manual.

These measurements come from the refrigerator setup chart for the RFG237 series and are the best starting point for fit checks.

• Width: 35 6/8 in (about 35.75 in)
• Height (cabinet): 68 1/2 in
• Height (overall): 69 6/8 in (about 69.75 in)
• Depth (cabinet): 28 in
• Overall depth: 30 1/2 in

Even if the refrigerator “fits,” it still needs airflow and door-swing room.

• Leave space on the right, left, back, and top for air circulation.
• If your unit has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line.
• If installing next to a fixed wall, allow at least 3 3/4 inches (95 mm) so the door can swing open.
• Measure doorways and thresholds before moving the refrigerator into place.

Accurate width, height, and depth measurements prevent delivery surprises, help avoid poor cooling from restricted airflow, and reduce the chance of door interference with walls or cabinets.

The Samsung RFG237AARS refrigerator has a total capacity of 23 cu. ft.; that breaks down to 15.9 cu. ft. in the fresh food (refrigerator) section and 6.7 cu. ft. in the freezer. For feature and setup details, use the owner's manual.

• Total capacity (23 cu. ft.) is the combined usable space of both compartments.
• Fresh food capacity (15.9 cu. ft.) is where most day-to-day items go.
• Freezer capacity (6.7 cu. ft.) is the bottom drawer storage space.
• Shelves, bins, and the ice container reduce usable space compared to the raw number.

Capacity helps you compare refrigerators, plan grocery storage, and decide if accessories like an ice container or door bins will meet your needs without crowding airflow (which affects cooling performance).

If you are organizing storage or maintaining performance on the RFG237AARS, these common items are often involved:

• Water filtration: Samsung refrigerator water filter DA29-00003G
• Door storage: Samsung refrigerator door bin DA97-07541A
• Ice storage: refrigerator ice container assembly DA97-11118A

The most common problems we see with Samsung refrigerators like model RFG237AARS are cooling issues and ice maker troubles. These usually come from restricted airflow, frost buildup from a defrost problem, or a failed fan or sensor that prevents steady temperatures and consistent ice production.

• Fresh food section gets warm while the freezer seems OK
• Frost or ice buildup on the back wall or around the evaporator cover
• Loud buzzing, grinding, or clicking noises (often fan-related)
• Ice maker stops producing ice or makes small, hollow cubes
• Water leaking or puddles (often tied to a drain issue)

• Airflow problems: Food blocking rear vents reduces circulation; the owner's manual warns not to block air holes.
• Defrost system failures: A bad heater or thermostat allows heavy frost to build up and choke airflow.
• Evaporator fan issues: If the fan is weak or stalled, cold air does not move into the refrigerator compartment.
• Temperature sensing problems: A faulty sensor can cause incorrect cycling and unstable temps.

• Make sure vents are not blocked by packages or bags.
• Set temps to about 37°F (fresh food) and 0°F (freezer); allow 24 hours to stabilize.
• If you see heavy frost behind the interior panel, focus on defrost and airflow.
• If the unit was unplugged, wait at least 5 minutes before plugging back in.

Cooling and ice maker complaints often share the same root cause: poor airflow across the evaporator. Fixing vent blockage or frost buildup early helps prevent temperature swings and food spoilage.
