Samsung RS28A5F61SG/AA-00 refrigerator Parts

Most 28 cu. ft. refrigerators are full-size units that measure about 36 inches wide, 70 inches tall, and 34 to 36 inches deep; for a Samsung side-by-side like RS28A5F61SG, depth varies the most depending on handles and door swing clearance.

Typical size range you can plan around

Use these common planning dimensions for a 28 cu. ft. refrigerator opening:

• Width: 35 3/4 to 36 inches
• Height: 69 to 71 inches
• Depth (cabinet): 30 to 33 inches
• Depth (with doors/handles): 34 to 36+ inches
• Recommended side clearance: about 1/8 to 1/2 inch per side
• Recommended top clearance: about 1 inch

Measuring tips (so it fits and the doors open)

Measure your space and the refrigerator in three ways:

• Opening width at the front and back (walls are often not perfectly square)
• Opening height to the lowest cabinet or trim
• Depth from the back wall to the front edge of the countertop
• Door swing path (handles and hinges can add needed clearance)
• Delivery path (doorways, turns, and stairs)

Quick planning table

What you’re checking	What to measure	Why it matters
Fit in the cutout	Width and height of the opening	Prevents binding or rubbing
Front-to-back	Depth to counters and nearby walls	Avoids sticking out too far
Usability	Door swing and handle clearance	Ensures drawers and bins can open

Why it matters

A 28 cu. ft. refrigerator can physically fit the opening but still be hard to use if the doors cannot swing fully or if the unit sits too far forward. Planning for depth and hinge clearance prevents dents, leaks from pinched water lines, and poor airflow.

The Samsung RS28A5F61SG is a side-by-side refrigerator, so it is not the same product as a Samsung 192-liter 1-star single-door refrigerator. Pricing for a 192 L 1-star model varies by country, seller, and exact model number; we recommend matching the exact model before comparing prices.

Make sure you are pricing the correct refrigerator

A “192 ltr 1 star” Samsung refrigerator is typically a single-door direct-cool style, while RS28A5F61SG is a side-by-side model. Use this checklist to avoid buying the wrong part or comparing the wrong price:

• Confirm the full model number on the rating label (inside the fresh food compartment)
• Confirm the refrigerator type (single-door vs side-by-side)
• Confirm the market/region (US vs India pricing is not comparable)
• Confirm whether the price includes delivery, installation, and taxes
• If you are shopping for parts, match the part to the exact model (RS28A5F61SG)

If you meant parts pricing for RS28A5F61SG

If your goal is to estimate repair cost for the Samsung RS28A5F61SG, here are examples of common replacement parts for this model:

Part (example)	What it affects	When it’s commonly replaced
Samsung refrigerator ice maker DA97-21995A	Ice production	No ice, jammed ejector, leaking mold
Samsung refrigerator evaporator fan motor DA31-00342A	Cooling airflow	Warm fridge/freezer, noisy fan
Refrigerator temperature sensor DA32-00024L	Temperature control	Erratic temps, error symptoms

Why it matters

A price quote only makes sense when the model and configuration match. A 192-liter 1-star single-door refrigerator and a Samsung RS28A5F61SG side-by-side refrigerator have different capacities, features, and parts, so their pricing and repair costs are not interchangeable.

To check the model on your Samsung refrigerator, find the appliance ID label and read the Model field. For the Sears PartsDirect parts listing you are on, the model number is RS28A5F61SG, so matching that label to RS28A5F61SG ensures you’re shopping the correct parts.

Where to find the model number label

Most Samsung side-by-side refrigerators place the model/serial label in one of these common spots:

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall (often left side)
• Near the top shelf area (sometimes above the top shelf)
• Behind or beside the crisper drawers (you may need to pull a drawer out)
• Along the door frame area when the door is open

What to write down (and why)

Capture these details exactly as shown on the label:

• Model number (example: RS28A5F61SG)
• Version code / revision (if listed)
• Serial number
• Manufacture date (if shown)

Why it matters

Samsung refrigerators can have multiple revisions that look identical but use different parts (ice maker, fan motor, sensors, door bins). Using the exact model information helps prevent ordering a part that does not fit.

Quick check: model label vs parts page

Use this simple comparison before ordering:

Item to compare	What you should see	What it affects
Model number	RS28A5F61SG	Overall parts compatibility
Revision/version	Matches your label	Sub-model part differences
Product type	Side-by-side refrigerator	Correct diagrams and sections

If you’re checking the model because a part failed

Once you confirm the model, match the failed symptom to the correct part category. For example:

• Not making ice: ice maker, water supply, temperature issues
• Warm fridge/freezer: evaporator fan, condenser fan, airflow restrictions
• Water leaks: water tube fitting, filter housing, drain issues

If the issue is ice-related, we recommend starting with why your Samsung fridge stopped making ice and how to fix it.

The most common Samsung refrigerator problems are ice maker failures and cooling complaints. On the Samsung RS28A5F61SG side-by-side, the most frequent root causes are airflow restrictions from frost or blocked vents, a failing fan motor, or temperature-sensing issues that make the unit run warm or freeze up.

Most common symptoms customers notice

• Ice maker stops producing ice or makes small/hollow cubes
• Ice clumps, frost buildup, or a “freezer burn” smell from poor airflow
• Refrigerator section warms up while the freezer seems OK
• Loud humming, grinding, or rattling from the freezer area (fan noise)
• Water leaks or puddles (often from ice melt or a drain issue)

What usually causes those problems

In a side-by-side like RS28A5F61SG, ice and cooling issues often trace back to airflow and temperature control.

Symptom	Most likely system	Common part types involved
No ice or slow ice	Ice maker and water supply	Ice maker, water tube/fitting, filter system
Fridge warm, freezer OK	Airflow from freezer to fridge	Evaporator fan motor, air damper, frost buildup
Both sections warm	Sealed system or heat removal	Condenser fan/coil assembly, compressor
Erratic temps	Temperature feedback/control	Temperature sensor, humidity sensor

Quick checks we recommend before replacing parts

• Confirm doors close fully and gaskets seal; warm air causes frost and poor cooling.
• Set temps to typical targets: 37°F fresh food and 0°F freezer.
• Make sure vents are not blocked by food packages.
• Listen for the evaporator fan in the freezer; a stalled fan often means warm fridge temps.
• If the unit has an error code, use our Samsung rs25h model side by side refrigerator error codes guide to narrow the failure.

Parts that commonly fix ice and cooling complaints on RS28A5F61SG

These are model-matched examples we see tied to the symptoms above:

• Samsung refrigerator ice maker DA97-21995A (no ice, jammed ice, inconsistent harvest)
• Samsung refrigerator evaporator fan motor DA31-00342A (warm fridge, noisy freezer, weak airflow)
• Refrigerator air damper DA31-00333E (freezer cold but fridge warm)
• Refrigerator temperature sensor DA32-00024L (temps swing, over-freezing or warming)

Why it matters

Ice maker and cooling problems usually get worse over time. Catching airflow, fan, or sensor issues early helps prevent food spoilage, heavy frost buildup, and long run times that stress the cooling system.
