Introduzione

This guide shows how to remove and replace the evaporator fan (aka circulation fan) in your Samsung RF28T5001SR refrigerator.

The evaporator fan circulates cold air from the evaporator coils into the freezer compartment. If your freezer isn't cooling sufficiently or evenly (the back of the compartment gets much colder), you may have a faulty evaporator fan.

    • A plastic tab locks each drawer rail in place.

    • Once both rails are unlocked, firmly pull both rails to slide them out of the refrigerator wall guides.

    • Remove the freezer drawer.

    • To reinstall the freezer drawer:

    • Push the geared torsion bar until it rests at the very end of the rails.

    • Align the drawer rails to the refrigerator wall guides.

    • Close the freezer drawer until the rails lock back in place.

    • If you don't hear a click, visually check if the plastic tabs have locked in place. You may need to push the rails in a little further with your fingers to set the tabs.
