Samsung Refrigerator RS27T5201SR/AA - Any way to limit door swing?


Recommended Posts

I had a new Side-by-side Samsung RS27T5201SR/AA refrigerator delivered today.  The refrigerator door swings open approximately 170 degrees, which is going to cause the face to slam into my pantry door knob.  (My last refrigerator had handles on the doors, so this wasn't an issue - if anyone ever slammed open the door, the handle would hit the pantry door, not the stainless steel face of the refrigerator door).

After installed, I found there is no adjustment to limit the door swing. Does anyone know of a way to limit the door swing?  (I am thinking modified bracket at the bottom of the door).

Who needs a side by side door to open 170 degrees anyways!

Also is there any place to get a service manual for this mode?  Specifically I am looking for part numbers and exploded assembly drawings of the top and bottom hinge assemblies for the refrigerator (right) door.

Your owners manual should have any info on door adjustments. Most door adjustments are up and down. I've never seen one where you can adjust the swing . As for the service manuals . We aren't allowed to give those out , but you can go to searspartsdirect.com put in the model number and you will find all exploded views and parts list diagrams . 

As for it slamming. You can buy clear impact pads that are used for cabinets and stick one on the pantry door where the handle would impact.  I know it's not a pretty sight,  but it can help with damage until you can find another remedy

Thanks-  Nothing in the manual about door swing adjustment.  And I got off the phone earlier with support, and they say there is no way to do it with their parts.  I am thinking it needs a modified hinge bracket (maybe something welded to it), so the refrigerator door stopper (part DA61-07526A), doesn't have to travel the full 170 degrees before it makes contact with the bracket.

Right now I am using a pool noodle as a wedge 🙂
