How many cubic feet is a Samsung RH29H9000SR?
The Samsung RH29H9000SR side-by-side refrigerator is a large-capacity model; the commonly listed total capacity is about 28.5 cu. ft. For the exact capacity and the fresh-food vs. freezer breakdown for your specific version, confirm it in the RH29H9000SR owner's manual.
What the manual does confirm (fit and clearance)
The manual provides model-family cabinet dimensions for RH29* units, which are the most important numbers when you are planning installation space.
| Dimension (RH29* family) | Measurement |
|---|---|
| Depth “A” | 35 1/8 in (893 mm) |
| Width “B” | 35 7/8 in (912 mm) |
| Height “C” | 68 1/2 in (1742 mm) |
| Overall height “D” | 69 6/8 in (1774 mm) |
| Depth “E” | 35 2/8 in (896 mm) |
How to use cubic feet when comparing refrigerators
Capacity is helpful, but it does not tell the whole story. When comparing a 28.5 cu. ft. side-by-side to other refrigerators, focus on these practical factors:
- Side-by-side compartments are narrower; wide platters can be harder to fit than in a French door.
- In-door ice storage and the water filter system reduce usable space slightly.
- Shelf and bin layout can make two refrigerators with the same cu. ft. feel very different.
- “Total capacity” is different from “usable capacity” once shelves, drawers, and the ice bin are installed.

If you are trying to keep water and ice working well (and avoid losing storage to bulky add-ons), these model-matched parts are commonly replaced:
Why it matters
Knowing the true capacity helps you plan grocery storage, compare models fairly, and avoid installation surprises. The dimension chart in the manual is also the best reference for door swing and clearance planning.

How to reset ice maker Samsung side by side?
To reset the ice maker on your Samsung RH29H9000SR side-by-side refrigerator, pull out the ice bucket and press and hold the ice maker Test button until you hear the refrigerator chime, then release. That chime confirms the ice maker reset and test cycle.
Reset steps (RH29H9000SR)
- Remove any glass from the dispenser area.
- Pull out the ice bucket/bin.
- Find the Test button on the right side of the ice maker.
- Press and hold Test until you hear the “ding-dong” chime.
- Release the button as soon as the chime sounds.
- Reinstall the ice bucket and let the ice maker run its cycle.
Control settings that can stop ice production
Your RH29H9000SR has an Ice Maker Off function on the control panel that turns ice production on or off. If ice is off, turn it back on before waiting for new ice.
- If the Ice Off indicator is lit, press Ice Maker Off briefly to turn ice back on.
- If the dispenser/panel is locked, press and hold the Ice Maker Off/Control Lock button for 3 seconds to unlock.
- Keep doors fully closed; an open door can prevent dispenser operation.
Quick reference table
| Check | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Test button chimes | Reset/test cycle started | Wait for the next harvest cycle |
| Ice Off indicator lit | Ice maker is turned off | Turn Ice Maker Off back on |
| Control Lock icon lit | Dispenser and panel buttons are locked | Hold Ice Maker Off/Control Lock 3 seconds |
Why it matters
A proper reset forces a diagnostic cycle; it helps clear minor stalls and confirms the ice maker can cycle, so you can focus next on water supply, freezing, or a failed component.
If it still won’t make ice
- Dump clumped ice and make sure the bucket seats fully.
- Replace an overdue filter; restriction can reduce fill.
- If the ice maker won’t cycle after a reset, replace the ice maker.
For model-specific button locations and indicator meanings, use the RH29H9000SR owner's manual. For deeper troubleshooting, use why your Samsung fridge stopped making ice and how to fix it. Replacement options include the refrigerator ice maker DA97-14253A or refrigerator ice maker DA97-13415B. You can also search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

What is the most common problem with Samsung refrigerators?
For Samsung refrigerators like model RH29H9000SR, the most common problems we see are cooling performance issues (warm fridge or freezer, frost buildup) and ice maker or dispenser troubles. These are often tied to blocked air vents, defrost and drain issues, or water supply and filter-related restrictions; see the owner's manual for model-specific operating and care guidance.
Most common symptoms customers notice
- Fresh food section warms up while the freezer seems OK
- Frost or ice buildup that reduces airflow
- Ice maker stops producing ice or makes small/hollow cubes
- Water dispenser flow slows down
- Temperature swings after the doors are opened frequently
Quick checks that fix many “common problems”
- Airflow: Keep food and bags from blocking interior vents and cold air outlets.
- Water supply: Confirm the refrigerator is connected to a potable water supply and that supply pressure is in the typical operating range (many Samsung units call for 20 to 125 psi).
- Filter restriction: If water flow is weak or ice production is slow, replace the filter on schedule and flush water after replacement.
- Door sealing: Make sure doors close fully and aren’t held open by overpacked bins.
- Power reset: If you unplug the refrigerator, wait at least 5 minutes before plugging it back in.
Parts that commonly relate to these issues
If troubleshooting points to a restriction, leak, or dispenser issue, these model-matched parts are commonly involved:
| Problem area | What it affects | Example part for RH29H9000SR |
|---|---|---|
| Water filtration | Slow water flow, poor ice fill | Refrigerator water filter DA29-00019A |
| Ice production | No ice, irregular ice harvest | Refrigerator ice maker by Samsung DA97-13415B |
| Drain/defrost water handling | Water under drawers, ice buildup from poor drainage | Refrigerator drain tube kit DA97-04049E |
| Airflow control | Warm spots, uneven temps | Samsung refrigerator air damper control assembly DA97-13749D |
Why it matters
Cooling and ice maker complaints usually start as airflow or water-flow restrictions. Fixing those early helps prevent food spoilage, reduces frost buildup, and keeps the ice maker cycling normally.
