This Genuine Samsung Repair kit is for the American Side by Side Fridge Freezer RS21 (Please note there is a separate kit for the RS21 Coolzone model which is distinguished by the fact it has three drawers at the bottom of the fridge rather than the usual two)

How to Check which RS21 Model You Have

It’s important to make sure you purchase the correct kit. If you are unsure which model of the Samsung Fridge Freezer you have you will need to check the model number as follows.

You will find the model number by opening door of the fridge and looking for a sticker that will be approximately at eye level on either of the two side walls.

Alternatively you can find a barcode sticker on the outside of the appliance on the bottom left hand side.

If the model number of your Samsung Fridge Freezer begins with any of the following model formats then this genuine kit is compatible and will resolve the problem with your Samsung American Fridge Freezer:-

• RS21D
• RS21F
• RS21N.
• RS21W

There are actually numerous combinations for the last 3 or 4 letters of the model number. As an example RS21DABB, or RS21NCMS are all typical model numbers which this kit can be used on.

If your Samsung RS21 fridge freezer is a Coolzone model as distinguished by the fact it has three drawers at the bottom of the fridge instead of the standard two drawers that other RS21 models have then you require our Genuine RS21 Coolzone Repair Kit

The Coolzone models have a J or K after the RS21, i.e.
• RS21J
• RS21K
Once gain there are actually numerous combinations for the last 3 letters of the model number. For example RS21JLAL or RS21KGRS

If you have these models then you require our Genuine RS21 Coolzone Repair Kit

  3. Rena Johnson says:

    Hi,
    It is Christmas Eve and our Samsung RS21 Fridge Freezer display screen has decided to stop working. I am unsure yet if the actual Fidge has broken. Any advice???

    • samsungf says:

      Hello Rena

      You will need to establish some more information for us.

      It’s unusual that the whole display is blank. Turn off at the mains and turn back on again. Does that have any effect?

      Usually there is a flashing light on one of the two 88 segments. The display is in a figure of eight and the position of the LED display will indicate what the potential problem is.

      Please advise

      thanks for stopping by at our Samsung Frideg Freezer Problems website

  5. clayton says:

    we have just been given as RS21 DCSV, the freezer works perfectly but just after we got the fridge home it was making a loud noise like a propellor hitting something them the temperature went up to 18 dergrees + , we called a so called fridge repairer he said he changed a motor in fridge but shortly after the symptoms re-appeared so now he is saying its a sensor…can you help.

  6. Andy Wallwork says:

    The freezer of my RS21DCNS is playing up. It intermittently goes from the -20 we have it set at to between +3 and +6 and we’re losing food because of this. There is a noise coming from the freezer side which goes away when either door is opened. Please note this is not the usual problem of the RS21 repair kit, I have already changed all that last year, this noise is definitely the freezer side.

    The fault code came up with a faulty sensor in the ice maker, so I have replaced the full unit last week, but the freezer problem is still happening.

    Any help appreciated.

    • samsungf says:

      Following up from the comments you have left on our website, and having spoken to our engineer we think the easiest and the most productive way to establish what the problem is, is if we give you his number. That way you can call him and talk through the solution before ordering any parts.
      Ive emailed you our chief engineers

  7. Sean Bell says:

    I have a Samsung RS21DCNS. The temperature of the freezer side recently went from -23 to positive, the water flow and ice both stopped. I removed the back panel and turned the unit off over night allowing it to defrost. When turned back on, it has been working fine for a couple of weeks.

    Yesterday, the same thing happened again – i noticed this as the temperature was flashing. The fridge also lost its temperature, which had been 3 degrees.

    I have left emptied it, cleare dthe back panel of the fridge (was iced up) and left unplugged again over night – now when switched back on, the unit is making no noise at all – as though teh fans aren’t working, and just one LED bar lights up across the whole of the information panel.

    Can you advise please ?

    Many thanks.

    • samsungf says:

      Hello Sean
      I can confirm that the symptom you mention can be remedied with the genuine Samsung RS21 repair kit which is designed to fix it.

      • Sean Bell says:

        So as well as fixing the cooling system, this will also re-set the display panel that seems to have lost all power ?

        Thanks.

  8. Gordon Muir says:

    I have a RS21F and it is quite noisy, however although it appears to go quiet when I open the door this seems to be due to my hand preventing the vibration causing the noise.

    I removed the unit inside the fridge and there was no ice build up, the fan turns without hitting anything.

    Will your repair kit solve this issue?

    The fridge and freezer inc water and ice works perfectly, it is just a little too noisy for my liking!

    • samsungf says:

      Hello Gordon

      I’ve read your comments on our website and the genuine Samsung RS21 repair kit is designed to remedy it. The noise issue is one of the problems the repair will fix, sometimes the appliance will display a single symptom, other times several.

      In answer to your question Gordon, the Genuine RS21 kit will remedy the problem.

  11. Sandy MARCHANT says:

    No water comes into our icemaking/water dispenser compartment – why

    Model RS21 DCSW and what can we do about it?

  12. D. Wright says:

    The fridge reaches the temperture set on the display. The display starts to flash and the fridge starts to loose its temperatue. If the fridge is tunred off then back on again at the plug the fridge starts to work fine until the set temperature is reached. It appears that the fridge is not restarting to cool its self once the set temperture starts to drop off. This is affecting the fridge and frezzer.

  13. mike davenport says:

    Thanks Frank

  18. Robert Mellay says:

    My RS21DCNS fridge temperature light is continuously flashing and the fridge is warming up.
    Before this happened the fridge fan was making noise which stopped when you opened the fridge door. I then turned the fridge off for 24 hours and started it again, the fridge seemed to work fine for another week when the noise returned and then we started having the following cooling Issues,
    1. Warm food and drinks on the shelves within the fridge or freezer (is usually most noticeably higher up in the freezer)
    2. Food freezing in the vegetable drawers within fridge
    3. Ice forms on the evaporator cover in fridge near vents
    4. There is NO water flow through the water dispenser.
    5. Fridge temperature display fluctuates – to check actual temp switch appliance off and then on again – display will then show correct temp

    Now the noise has stopped completely and the temperature indicator is flashing and not showing the correct temperature. The fridge is also warm.

    Can you please confirm that the repair kit will be the solution to this problem or do I need a technician?

    Thank you for your time.

    Regards,

    Rob

    My rs21dcns display screen has gone blank. Now the water has stop flowing into the ice tray. Every thing else is working fine.

  20. Andrew Baker says:

    We have a 6 year old rs21dcsv.

    The fridge part is working absolutely fine. No noise,even cooling, no problems, but it might have having intermittent problems for a while before that. We are not sure.

    We think our problem started when the freezer door was left open for a short while. We took advice and stripped the parts at the rear. There was a modest amount of frost on the evaporator.

    After we started it up again, it worked but it struggles to get the freezer temperature below -16C Previously it has managed to maintain a very steady -23C for many years.

    We suspect a faulty fan in the freezer part. Is this possible? are there other possibilities ?

    Many thanks.
