Joseph B Greenwell Springs , LA February 06, 2016 Appliance: Samsung Refrigerator RFG297AARS/XAA Samsung Refrigerator Rfg297aars/Xaa: My samsung flapper in the assembly case where the ice drops from the ice maker would not work because of a broken spring. How to replace Refrigerator Ice Dispenser Assembly. Unfortunately a spring could not be found to just repair so a new assembly had to be purchased. I easily removed one screw from the front instrument panel then popped it off using a 4 inch putty knife. I then disconnected the wires after marking them and unscrewed the old assembly and removed. The rest was just installation of the new assembly by reversing the procedure above. Took less than 30 minutes. 12 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes
