Samsung refrigerator part number help RF24FSEDBSR/AA

[reko19]

HI, could someone please help me with the part number for the plastic cover that is in the back of the ice maker above auger assembly. I cant find it on any of the parts diagram.  It got warped when I was trying to deice the ice maker with a steamer. I never new that steam could warp plastic.

Thanks everyone.

I believe that’s part of refrigerator liner, it’s not a replaceable part.

It is attached with three bolts, easily removable. was hoping i could get a replacement. here is a better picture, two bolts are removed the third one is still in place.

I also looked over the Sear and Encompass sites and multiple revision numbers 00 - 21 and no sign of any parts above the auger motor assembly except the complete ice maker.

Nothing around the ice maker evaporator tube, the "y" clips, Styrofoam or plastic cover is shown in the diagrams any where and I don't see any parts in the list that are NI - Not Illustrated on the diagram.

Looks like someone would have to contact Samsung to find out if they have any clue to the listing for this simple plastic cover.

Most of the time when a customer goes in there with a heat gun or hair dryer there's nothing to be repaired as only a replacement of the complete refrigerator is the solution, but it looks like you caught yourself before a total melt down of the liner that is for sure not replaceable.

It shouldn't be this difficult to find a simple plastic cover part, but that's Samsung for you.

I definitely screwed up, in my defense I couldn't imagine that steam could melt plastic.  Now i know, lol.  My initial contact with Samsung was not successful, they just sent me parts diagram that does not list this piece at all.

Will circle back once I have a chance to follow up with them

Thank you for your help

to close this topic, not available from Samsung or their parts distributers

so pretty much a dead end

I can verify this. 

Dont use a hair dryer. Buy a steamer. Also if you run into a samsugn unit that gets scrapped then. Grab this part of it to use down the road.

I’ve steamed hundreds refrigerators, colleagues on here 1000s of them. Steam never deforms plastic.
