Remove and Clean Glass Shelf above vegetable drawer - Samsung French Door Fridge

How to remove and clean the glass shelf above the vegetable crisper drawers in a Samsung french door fridge.

[@maripusin1]

I can’t believe they made this fridge so hard to clean. Thank you for your instructions.

[@JasonsHonestReviews]

You're welcome, Marie!

[@missNenukee]

What about the bottom drawer Tia

[@ShawnGeiser-x6p]

Quick and easy instructions. I watched several other videos and couldn't figure it out until I found your video. Thanks so much!

[@JasonsHonestReviews]

You're right!

[@RosieSilva-f3y]

Wow. Saved me from feeling so frustrated. Your Instructions easy to follow. Thank you!!!

[@JasonsHonestReviews]

You're welcome, Rosie!

[@michaelhohlweg6533]

Messing with this for about two years with meat blood etc taunting us from below the glass shelf. Watched your quick video and it looks like new again. Thank you very much. Mike

[@JasonsHonestReviews]

You're welcome, Mike!

[@lashawnrogers1970]

What if it won't move

[@soy_ferz]

And here I thought I would have to live with the spills inside the glass. I just bought the refrigerator last month. Thanks a million for the tutorial it was a game changer. Now I'm proud of the refrigerator once again 🤣🤣

[@JasonsHonestReviews]

You're welcome, Fernando!

[@omersiddiqui]

Thanks boss. Had some dried carrot juice for the past three years on the bottom of the glass. Tried multiple times to clean it over the years. Watched video and took me ten minutes to get it all done and put back

[@JasonsHonestReviews]

You're welcome! Really glad this helped.

[@sammymac55]

The clips that hold the glass in break very easily. Your video is spot on. Thanks so much

[@JasonsHonestReviews]

Thanks, Sam - glad this helped. And yes, I agree, they break very easily.

[@cherylb.4201]

This was the third video I watched on this... I just popped the two clips off at the back corners. And slid the glass out to clean.. I didn't remove the entire shelf.. So much easier.. Then lined the glass once put back in with shelf liner.. Viola'.. Lol. Thanks for the idea !

[@JasonsHonestReviews]

That's an even better idea! Thanks for sharing!

[@charis6458]

Thank you, Jason. Very easy and helpful. I was just about to deliberately break the tabs to get to the spillage under the glass. Thank you!!!

[@JasonsHonestReviews]

You're welcome, Grace! Thanks for the comment!

[@loreanna67]

I just finished cleaning my entire fridge cursing it for over an hr and all I had to do was watch this video. Now I'm going back to my fridge and getting all the orange juice out from under the glass LOL thank you!!! Now if I could just get the ice maker to work for once! Horrible ice maker. Samsung didn't clearly think when they designed it. Said heck with it and went and bought a countertop ice maker lol

[@JasonsHonestReviews]

You're welcome! I'm really glad this was helpful for you!

[@theresagoldsworthy4294]

I had trouble too. I’m a clean freak. Knowing that I can finally clean the glass makes me very happy. Thank you so much😊

[@rljones1230]

Thank you so much!!! My daughter have a carton of Minute Maid fruit punch on the top shelf and it's slow dripped all through my refrigerator. The glass was filled underneath with fruit punch. I search a while to find a video and yours was perfect. Thank you again.

[@JasonsHonestReviews]

You're welcome! Feels good to get that sticky stuff cleaned up and the fridge looking like new, right?

[@wednesday1228]

Thank you so much!! Your video was the easiest and quickiest way to clean this complicated fridge. Thanks for getting straight to the point!!

You're welcome, Wednesday!

[@sharonmercer857]

I had to watch numerous videos before I came across yours. This video was the most helpful of all the ones I watched. THANK YOU so much.

[@JasonsHonestReviews]

Thanks, Sharon! That's my goal. Glad it was helpful!

[@asgoodasgold327]

We followed your lead exactly and was finally able to clean.. God bless you for posting this!!

[@JasonsHonestReviews]

You're welcome, Paula! God bless you too, and your clean fridge :)

[@wandanealhooper3683]

Jason you are beyond awesome! Bill could not get the shelf out…I followed your expert, detailed instructions and took it out! Thank you. We had to replace a small piece in the motherboard (another Samsung flaw)!

[@JasonsHonestReviews]

So glad to help! I'm happy this did the trick. I'm glad mine didn't need a new motherboard - yikes!

[@NancyFortunel]

This was so helpful! I didn't read the comments before starting and broke one of the clips trying to pry it off. Maybe flipping the shelf over, as someone suggested, might have helped? But the clips don't seem necessary and I'm happy to be rid of them. Thanks again for the excellent video!

[@JasonsHonestReviews]

Thanks Nancy! Glad this helped - even with the broken clip

[@davidtanner4239]

Thanks for your detailed review! I thought that you saved the day BUT unfortunately my 16 month old model RF27T5201 didn't have the push-in tabs like yours. I'll have to continue the search...

[@JasonsHonestReviews]

Shoot - good luck, David!

[@nagyedarwdmichael6153]

thank you so much. you have helpped so even more than the Samsung people😉

[@JasonsHonestReviews]

Haha you're welcome! Glad this helped you out. Thanks for the comment

[@lindasamaniego8137]

I was trying to remove that thing by removing the whole unit! So glad I didn’t tug and pull any longer. Thank you very much!!

[@tammywyers5214]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!!! There's nothing in the users manual and my husband and I were about to go crazy trying to figure this out. We felt like the clips had something to do with it but were afraid to force them. Would it really have been such a big deal to just include the instructions in the manual? Anyway, thanks so much for keeping us from breaking something and now having a sparkling clean fridge. 😁

[@JasonsHonestReviews]

Haha you're sure welcome. Glad this was helpful

[@billmiller8289]

Ditto what everyone else has said. Saw those clips and what looked like a place to stick a screwdriver in but was not really quite sure what to do. After the vid I said WTF and went for it. Came up after a few tries. My wife is very happy so thanks!

[@JasonsHonestReviews]

You're welcome, Bill! Glad you got it figured out. Happy wife, happy life

[@crissieeagle2642]

This video was seriously so helpful. Thanks so much.

Very helpful. Just got a similar fridge from a family member to use as a secondary fridge. They spilled something inside that collected under the glass.

[@JasonsHonestReviews]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Kenfitzpat]

You made my day. Been trying to get it out because of some liquid had leaked over the top of it and underneath and it looked terrible. Thanks again

[@andreg1048]

You don’t need those clips and you don’t need to take it out just break the clips and slide the glass out the clips are there to make sure the glass doesn’t move when it’s being shipped

[@JasonsHonestReviews]

Good to know- thanks!

[@cherylb.4201]

Thanks so much for this comment !! Made my life a thousand times easier.. I just popped the clips in the back corners and removed the glass itself. Not the entire shelf.. So much easier. I was gonna pull a muscle in my back fighting with the entire shelf.. A++++ great input.. Thanks again ! 🎯

[@henriettaroblero369]

The clips purpose are to secure the glass in place it doesn't take to much muscle to take them off your video was truly very helpful thanks 👍

[@hfaceyjr]

Yooo I was able to remove the glass clips without breaking them. Those buttons to "press" did not even budge! 🤨

[@angiekelly2476]

Thank you for helping! I do see this as a major design flaw by Samsung...you, however, are a Godsend!

[@JasonsHonestReviews]

You're welcome, Angie. Thanks for the comment!

[@salvadormazatini5155]

Awesome video. Very simple and helpful. Thanks

[@jmcinnis621]

Thanks for the video Jason However my clips don't want to push in, not sure why they're being so stiff. Enough to try pliers or something in order to get them to push in. Wondering if any of your other viewers have the same problem.

[@JasonsHonestReviews]

I wonder if some sticky drink or food might have got between them. Might try some warm soapy water

[@jmcinnis621]

Great video, thanks for sharing, kids in the background are perfect !!!

[@JasonsHonestReviews]

Haha thanks. I try to keep them quiet when I'm filming but doesn't always work

[@tashawnmichelle8898]

I'm so glad to hear it! Thanks for the comment. Glad it helped!

[@ciphernemo]

Thank you! Mine had a different type of push buttons in the front, and it never worked. But I was able to remove the two clips on top easier and then take out the glass panel.

[@JasonsHonestReviews]

Oh good! I'm glad you got it sorted out!

What a helpful video. I have trying to figure out how to clean the tracks. I skipped 1 step. I only pop the tabs and lifted the glass. Cleaned it and done. I didn't pull the shelf. Cleaned tracks in the fridge. A little easier for me. Thank you for you guidance.

[@JasonsHonestReviews]

You bet! Thanks, Marta! Glad this helped you

No need to break the clips. Turn the shelf over and you can gently compress the clips and they pop out easily

Thank you for explaining how to! My issue is that the two tabs will not press in or move and the Filter wants to lift up with the glass shelf. Ugh!

I had that same thing happen... just need to apply a little more pressure on those tabs, maybe even some warm soapy water if they are sticky. And it should come apart.

I just googled "Samsung French door glass shelf clip replacement" and got a few things that popped up. I would see if one of those seems to match your particular model

[@sweetseductionzalex3909]

Flip it over and press on the clips and the pop right out. Doing it this way if not careful will break those clips

[@JasonsHonestReviews]

Hmm... Do you mean the crisper drawers? Not sure I'm understanding what you're asking

[@RyanBuehl]

On my model, the clips pushed up from the under side, being held in place by a clip. Trying to pry it up led to it breaking.

[@JasonsHonestReviews]

Oh really? That is interesting. Maybe a better design honestly

[@caroleloomis1430]

I cannot get those tabs to go in to even get the shelf to come out!

[@JasonsHonestReviews]

Mine was definitely kind of stuck. It needed a little bit of persuasion. If you support the middle part while you put a little bit of pressure on it hopefully that will help

[@gthicks1]

I ended up breaking the little plastic piece trying to get it out. This was a brand new top I had to buy because the glass on the last drawer broke when I was trying to clean it.

[@JasonsHonestReviews]

Darn it... Those little clips are hard to get out! They are brittle! I can't imagine they cost much to produce. Hopefully can find a cheap replacement
