Fernando December 08, 2023 for Model Number rs261mdpn/xaa I need the sensor that goes to this part Sensor Bracket DA61-01800A / AP4139993
1 Answer Fernando, the sensor would be a part of the ice maker assembly DA97-08059A only. Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not list it separately. Read More...
Jeff September 17, 2022 for Model Number RF23J9011SR/AA Rev 1 My ice maker stopped making ice, but every once in a while it will make a cube or two. The error message was 14 C which indicates an error with the ice maker sensor. On your website you only sell the ice maker sensor bracket, but not the actual sensor. I called and a very nice lady assured me the part I need is AP4979323 which is the refrigerator temperature sensor. I got the part and watched the installation video it looks like this is the wrong part. Will changing the refrigerator sensor get my ice maker making ice again? I now have the temperature sensor but believe I still need the ice maker sensor. I am also wonder why would the ice maker sensor bracket need to be changed but not the sensor??? Please help.
1 Answer Jeff, Thanks for the question!!! Sorry for the bad information and confusion. On your model, the sensor is part of the icemaker assembly. The only way to replace the sensor is to replace the ice maker, your model uses part number DA97-18859A. Read More...
Andy June 23, 2020 for Model Number RFG298HDRS/XAA-0000 the top ice maker works, the bottom does not. when i reset it it acts as though it is dumping but there is no ice to dump. the water tube is dry that leads into the ice maker. we lost power for about 40 mins yesterday so i do not think it is a ice blockage. could it be an old filter causing the problem? or is it a sensor bracket problem? thanks. andy
1 Answer Hello, Andy. If the icemaker rotates when you push the test button but water doesn't fill in, the problem is most likely with the water inlet valve that is the part of the water filter housing assembly p/n AP5331250. it's in the fresh food compartment on the right. But first remove the icemaker and check the water supply tube for blockage. Thank you. Read More...
Dennis October 13, 2019 for Model Number RF4287HARS When my ice cube button is push I only get water out of dispenser not ice. The ice maker is making ice but will not dispenser. Also on panel the crushed ice light does not illuminate.
1 Answer Dennis, based on the information provided, the most likely issue would be the main control not identifying the switches independently from the water switch nor providing the proper communications with the dispenser board. However, there is a possibility of the LED on the dispenser board having failed indicating the dispenser board would need to be replaced. The switches can be tested for proper operation at the main control, with the power cord unplugged, by testing at connection CN 50 for continuity. From pin 5 to pin 7 (ice paddle pressed in), then pin 5 to pin 8 (water paddle pressed in) should all read for continuity when the corresponding switch is pressed. Read More...
Leon January 03, 2019 The ice maker on my samsung makes ice but does not automatically rotate to dump the ice into the ice bucket. If I press the reset buttun the rotatenotor works and the tray is twisted, dumping the ice. It returns to normal position and tben is refilled with water and makes ice again but still does not dump once made. My question is could the cause be a faulty sensor in the ice tray?
1 Answer Leon, This issue would most likely be caused by a faulty icemaker sensor which would require a new icemaker for the unit. Read More...
Ricky December 05, 2018 Samsung RS263TDRS the sensor bracket on the bottom of the ice tray is missing.Can this cause water to drip into the ice bin??What does the sensor do??If so do you have the two pieces (the foam & plastic cover) that hold the sensor up? Looks just like the sensor bracket in your video. Thanks Ricky
1 Answer Ricky, Yes this sensor bracket being missing could cause the issue if the sensor is hanging down. The sensor will allow the unit icemaker to cycle. If the sensor is sitting down in the ice it will cause the icemaker to cycle before the ice has formed. Read More...

Patricia September 18, 2016 for Model Number RF268ABWP The ice maker in the bottom won't stay up What part to I need to get to hold it in place? The tubing and everything is still there just can't get it to stay in place.
1 Answer Patricia, There should be 2 screws that would hold the icemaker in the freezer in place but unfortunately the manufacturer does not show the screw as an available part. Read More...
Mike September 03, 2016 for Model Number RF197ACWP I know that I need part number DA61-01800A but am not sure whether this includes the hard cover and foam? The sensor wire is hanging but have no parts to reattach to ice tray motor. Must of throw them away with ice in cooler :(
1 Answer Mike, As long as the sensor and wire is not bad then you would need the foam which is the sensor bracket DA61-01800A and the cover which is part number DA63-02183A. Read More...
Brad June 27, 2016 for Model Number RF260BEAESR/AA-0001 We are Orthodox Jews. We are not supposed to turn on any switches on our Sabbath. I see that this Samsung model has a sensor which turns on various items when the door is opened. We are not supposed to do that. Can you tell us where this sensor is located? Do you have a suggestion for fooling it with a magnet or disabling it? Do you have any other suggestions? Thank you for your time and assistance.
1 Answer Hello Brad. After looking at the manual, they do not offer a feature on this model to disable that function. Sorry about that. Read More...
