Use this guide to replace the freezer drawer on your Samsung older French door refrigerator.

The freezer drawer serves as the access point to the freezer compartment.

If it fails the freezer will not be able to readily maintain temperature. Common failures include failed seals and failed interior skin.

This guide was created using a Samsung model RFG298HDRS French door refrigerator manufactured in 2013. Other older Samsung French door units with dual evaporators should be similar.
