How To: Samsung French Door Hinge DA61-03230B

[@philjones2760]

Thanks very much! My lower hinge broke and I really didn't want to call in someone to repair it. I ordered the part direct from Samsung for about $5 and with your video was able to replace it in about 15 minutes. You saved me time and money!!

[@srod679]

Wow, thank you so much. Two repair places wanted to charge me $180 just to come out, not including the part. Bought the part off of amazon for $12 today and will do this repair tomorrow. Thank you, you're such a great teacher!

[@appliancepartspros]

You're welcome! Good luck with your repair and let us know how it goes!

[@rich8520]

My mom had a broken hinge and my brother told her to get a new fridge....*sigh*... This video was extremely helpful and will help me fix this issue for her without all the headache and expense of calling a repairman or buying a new fridge. Thanks so much for this helpful and easy to follow video.

[@jasons1041]

This went EXACTLY as you described. I would never have tackled this without your excellent and easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions. You saved me $250 for a service call and crazy marked-up parts. Thanks.

[@alexisjackson5835]

Thank you!!! Our hinge has been broken for months, and I finally ordered the part, then watched your video, and voila! It works again! Thank you so much for your easy to follow instructions.

[@appliancepartspros]

This helped me repair my fridge door while making dinner! Thanks for putting such clear and detailed instructions up!

[@aidanstigley21]

Worked first time. Done in 5 minutes. Great instructions!

[@loafandjugrestoration]

This actually worked for me. Thanks so much for making this tutorial!!

[@roccocamarillo]

Man, you guys are life and money savers. Great instruction! THANK YOU!

[@SoHoMerchant]

Very comprehensive and instructive tutorial helped to resolve my "Vertical Hinged Section" dismounting issue. Thanks.

[@rachelm7926]

Thank you for this demonsration. I had obtained a part but found that the wrong part had been ordered. Had I not seen your video I would have been mighty upset to find out my error.

[@jeffvicenzi2650]

Thanks, one of the best repair videos I've seen

[@MsZamsuto]

thank you very much , i followed your video and successfully fixed my French door hinges

[@Alysuis]

small flat-head screw drivers are unsung heroes!

[@hoangdieutrinh]

Thank you very very much. You're such a wonderful teacher!

[@kathyhuggins7075]

Video was great and helpful. if you can’t get the sleeve out for the spring grab a pair of tweezers. Pay attention to which way you put the spring back in I didn’t notice the bent side until I put it in wrong but rewind the video and saw my mistake thanks for saving me money on fixing my door.

[@edwinroman7560]

Replaced hinge in less than 10 minutes. Great video....THANKS

[@appliancepartspros]

You're welcome!

[@cheekychachi]

I can’t believe I fixed my fridge!!! Thanks!!!

[@IH-nr7dx]

This works - just not sure why you go through the trouble of removing the trim and foam. The clips and hinges remove exactly the same way without this step.

[@robertmills6772]

Very well explained. Thank you!

[@Nelsonlora1985]

Thank you very much this helped me fix my fridge door correctly. And was able to put the spring back in place.

[@johnrobitaille3822]

[@bmanoo26]

Very informative, I watched and realised what part I'd need to replace. Great video, thanks

[@appliancepartspros]

You're welcome!

[@goldys44]

So easy to follow! Thanks for the help

[@towncountryelectrical1209]

Great video... Worked just like the man demonstrated !!!

[@appliancepartspros]

Happy to help!

[@hxing472]

Thanks for the video. Fixed.

[@relaxedtiger]

Are the top and bottom hinges the same part? If not, what's the part number for the bottom hinge? Do you have the model number for a replacement spring and sleeve that goes with the bottom hinge? Thank you. Great video!

[@rebecasantiago9195]

Yes that’s what I need too

[@marianamihalache7055]

Great video ! Very useful!

[@joshpacker7704]

Perfect. Thank you so much!

[@trevorsmith418]

Thank you so much GREAT how to video!!!!

[@יהודהנטף]

Great explanation

[@appliancepartspros]

You are welcome! Glad we could help you!

[@chunkytoads4509]

Thanks for sharing this info! You guys are the best :)

[@kleenx73]

Thank you, I was too timid to just pry off the metal part like I needed to, this video helped a lot so I could see how it went together.

[@HillCountryGuy99]

Great Video, but what about the center hinge?... Renter broke the center and bottom hinge.. I haven't started the job yet..just ordered the center (which is called "Cover-Heater" for some reason, but according to the exploded view, it surely is the center hinge...

[@HillCountryGuy99]

Never mind, I found your other video about the center hinge...

[@lawrencemiles2991]

This is an awesome video thank you so much. I just did it and it worked

[@marshallnelson6566]

When I pried off the heater panel there was a white plastic covering over the foam panel, so I couldn't pry off the foam as shown in the video. How do I remove the plastic panel?

[@shrikantprabhu1788]

What's the middle bigger hinge called. How to replace that one? Mne is broken.

[@proudamerican3391]

I have a brand new Samsung French door refrigerator, it’s about 2 months old and the divider does not close by itself. The refrigerator is level. The book states that the left door is fixed so I can’t raise it up so it will catch in the track. Any suggestions?

[@jaynrudy]

Did you ever figure it out?

[@rponzia]

I replaced the bottom left door hinge because the door is sagging causing the middle flap to not close. However, replacing the hinge didn't fix the issue. What could cause this door to sag?

[@yolandanarvaez3811]

sorry, I was wondering if this part DA61-03230B works on every Samsung French Door (I have a RF220NCTAWW/AA)

[@appliancepartspros]

[@deanb8191]

AWESOME!

[@appliancepartspros]

Thank you!

[@rebecasantiago9195]

I can see my French door hinge is broken. Could that be the only reason my divider doesn’t close by itself?

[@ryk1265]

Why on earth would you disassemble the mullion flapper itself when you can just unscrew the middle hinge, disconnect the molex wire connector and slide up the mullion, lay it on a flat surface to avoid dropping and missing those tiny parts? Are you a glutton for punishment? 😆

Samsung tiene muchos modelos de refrigeradores. Cuidado al ordenar, porque para devolver es un problema.Asegúrece de ordenar la pieza correcta.

[@robvaus]

my good people I did it, and thanks BUT the door now when I close it, and then I open it again, the flap (not sure how to call it) doesn't stay by with the door but it attempts to close and remains opens So the door can't be close again unless you put the flap back to its position manually

[@appliancepartspros]

You will need to double check the installation of the part and check the flap for other damaged parts.

[@donaldbrigham9065]

There’s no way I could possibly do the hinge replacement that you just showed me in this video. I am not a “handy man”. Why do they have such “flimsy” plastic hinges on a $4500 refrigerator. Insulation? My miltonian flap does not close properly.

[@samscott54]

That's flipper , not a french door.... The part is called a flipper , if someone is looking for one.... sorry if Im misunderstanding your terminology.... thanks for the video

[@mrrobvs]

This is the most ridiculous way to do this repair. There are better instructions on here. There are two screws holding that flipper to the door. Unscrew them. Then pop off the clips and change the french hinge. All this prying is absolutely bizarre. It's like taking the tires off the wheels to change the brake pads.

[@androxavanti]

This is a different model, there are no screws. If you watch the video carefully you'll see there are just two plastic stoppers - that's how my fridge looks

[@mrrobvs]

@@androxavanti those “stoppers” are plastic screw covers. They pop right off and reveal two Philips head screws. Unscrew them. There is no prying or complete disassembly of the flipper unit required like in this video. KZbin search for “remove Samsung flipper” and watch a video or two where you will see you just pop off screw cover (some doesn’t even have it) and do the replacement. This video remains the worst source for a simple repair.
