Fits perfectly, removes and replaces in 30 seconds!

Fits perfectly Removal and installation took 30 seconds! I can't believe they would charge over $150 to replace this with appliances. DO IT YOURSELF!

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • There are disadvantages

Works like original. Expensive for a piece of plastic.

Expensive but works and easy to install. Not sure if this is an OEM part or not, but it doesn't "look" like a replacement (which is a good thing). My original record lasted two years before the plastic cracked. Let's see how long this one lasts.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks

Water Dispenser Quick Solution

After almost three years of daily use, the plastic parts of the water dispenser button broke. After a simple search on YouTube we found an installation video and decided we could solve the problem ourselves. We ordered a dispenser cap, received it within days and installed it in minutes.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • No

Easy to replace but it's only plastic so be careful.

Fits our Samsung RF261BEAESG/AA 02 just like the original. Easy to replace, just gently pry around the edges with a thin-bladed tool like a spatula. Insert the new one carefully. These things are only plastic so they broke so be careful.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • I will add later

Direct replacement for factory part

This replacement looks a little better in design. I've had to replace an original Samsung part twice in 6 years, it seems a little more reliable at the point where the Samsung fails. However, you have to press differently and it seems a little more fiddly to get the water flowing, but it works well.

Pros
  • Best in class
Cons
  • New competitors

Will not fit 2009 RF266

The water shaft is deeper than my 2009 RF266 and the part will not snap into place. I had to disassemble the trigger and use the old case. Part DA63-07217A2009 Model DA63-04xxxxx (forgot to write and won't take another picture) I believe it will work for other models so 3 stars seems reasonable. The plastic is normally injected, the trigger is compatible.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Need water for fridges, freezers and ice makers

Samsung doesn't have a repair shop in our area and we thought we didn't have a water dispenser. This piece was a perfect replacement for our fridge and the ease of installation is an understatement. I carefully removed the old one with a metal spatula, and the new one just slipped and fell into place. The part holds up well in use but over time they just break into the Samsung design.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Expensive

Fits perfectly. The button is definitely stiffer

My original button didn't work that well so I tried removing the rubber cover to see what was going on. The plastic part inside broke off and fell off completely. I ran for several days and pulled the lever with my hands when I thought of looking for a replacement for Revain. The part fit perfectly, there were no problems installing it. The button is definitely stiffer and requires a lot more pressure to work. (Not impossible to squeeze or anything, but the pressure is significantly higher than

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Reliability
