Samsung Refrigerator Repair – Louisville, OH (RFG29PHDWP/XAA)

A Samsung refrigerator on Northlawn Avenue in Louisville was having water run continuously from the ice maker — the same problem that had occurred a couple years earlier. The customer had even replaced the ice maker itself trying to fix the issue, but the water valve assembly was the real culprit.

The Problem

Water was running out of the ice maker continuously. The customer mentioned that a couple years ago we had replaced a metering valve for the ice maker, and the same issue was happening again. They had replaced the ice maker about that time trying to fix the problem, but it obviously didn’t work.

Diagnosis

The water valve assembly had failed again, causing continuous water flow to the ice maker. Even though the customer had replaced the ice maker itself, the problem wasn’t with the ice maker — it was with the water valve that controls flow to it.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: DA97-11433A — Assembly Case-Water
• Work performed: Replaced the water valve assembly
• Result: Issue is resolved

Is It Worth Repairing?

Samsung refrigerators from this era are generally well-built appliances worth repairing, especially for common issues like water valve failures. The RFG29PHDWP model is a solid side-by-side that can provide many more years of service when properly maintained.

Maintenance Tips for Samsung Refrigerators

• Replace water filters every 6 months to prevent mineral buildup that can stress water valves
• Check ice maker operation monthly — continuous water flow or no ice production are early warning signs
• Keep the condenser coils clean to prevent overheating that can affect internal water systems
