Jerry B Southaven , MS January 24, 2017 Appliance: Samsung Refrigerator RFG298HDRS/XAA-0000 Samsung rfg298hdrs lower frrezer wasn't making ice After troubleshooting the system changing the filter, checking the lower ice tray and resetting the lower ice maker, I came to the conclusion that the ice maker was not getting water. I ordered the DA97-11435A Filter Assembly. Unit arrived in less than a week. There are no instructions, so you're on your own to figure out how this thing comes out. I was surprised at how large this assembly was. Located the old assembly between the drawers. Removed the drawers and the glass shelf to expose the filter assembly. Pulled forward on the assembly to break it loose, located the three wire clips and disconnected them. Note: The new unit only has two wire clips, but once plugged in, they seem to function normally. The long blue hose confused me at first, but figured out that it snakes up through the top of the refrigerator and attaches at the top under a cover by the door hinge. Once all of the hoses and wires were attached, I plugged the refrigerator back in, turned on the water, checked for leaks, reset the ice maker and let it do its thing. Water filled the ice tray and in about 90 minutes I began seeing ice. Put the shelf and drawers back in their place. It's been about seven days and the ice tray is filled nicely.
