Samsung Refrigerator Door Sensors Replacement

Inleiding

This guide shows how to remove and replace the door sensors in your Samsung refrigerator. If your refrigerator has only one door, you will have only one sensor.

The Samsung fridge uses a magnetic reed switch for each French door. If these sensors fail, the refrigerator will think a door is always open or closed.

This guide will work for most Samsung Refrigerators. This guide is based on a model RF28R7201SG Refrigerator. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same.
