Samsung da97-22424a Refrigerator Upper Left Door Hinge

Product Description

The SAMSUNG da97-22424a is an upper left door hinge designed as a direct OEM replacement for Samsung refrigerators in the RF4500A T3 series. This hinge mounts to the refrigerator cabinet frame and provides a stable, low-friction pivot point that allows the upper left door to swing freely and return to the correct closed position. Proper hinge function is essential for maintaining consistent door alignment, ensuring the door gasket seals fully, and supporting efficient cooling operation. Appliance technicians and experienced DIYers install this part when a door sags, drags, or fails to close and seal correctly.

This hinge is intended for Samsung French door and multi-door refrigerators in the RF4500A T3 product line. It is the upper left position hinge, meaning it controls the top pivot point of the left-side refrigerator door. Typical service scenarios include door misalignment, worn or broken pivot hardware, and hinge corrosion that compromises door swing or seal integrity.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified appliance technician or a knowledgeable DIYer comfortable working with refrigerator door hardware. Disconnect the refrigerator from electrical power before beginning any disassembly. Support the refrigerator door fully before removing the existing hinge to prevent door drop and injury. Confirm the replacement hinge seats completely into the hinge cup and that all fasteners are secure before restoring power and testing door alignment and seal.
