- Replacing the lever refrigerator water lever dispenser. Do it yourself. Easy fix!
cost 8.00. Save money.
Make sure if you fix it yourself to turn on the child lock first so water doesn't go on the floor.
Here is the part number: samsung da66-00850a lever dispenser. Just google search it and it will come up.
Thanks for watching God Bless! - Навчання та стиль
I found a easier and safer way to get the panel to come out without excessive force. Using a flat thin blade putty knife , start on the lower right side and work the blade in about 1/8'" . it will release the locking tab and the pane will move out slightly. Work around the pane, top right, two on the top edges of the panel. By the time you get to the left side it should almost pop loose.
No yanking or straining and the locks aren't damaged. Now you can release the wire harness and work on the panel comfortably. The return spring is tricky, but only fits on one way.
Is it possible that the Return Spring came loose? My dispenser lever? Doesn't catch anymore. Just flops. Water dispenses continuously.
Put my camera in there, with light on, took photos. I can see there's a spring in there.
Many thanks! Your video and some of the helpful comments below were exactly what I needed to fix my broken paddle properly.
Great video. I watched others and they sucked. This one I saw what I needed to fix my fridge. Thanks!
Hi Frank: Thank you for your work. It helped me.
Thank you for the great video. You just saved me a ton of money. :-) Now I have just wait for the part to arrive.
THANK YOU! Have a Merry Christmas!!
Dude. You saved me 300$ ! Thank you !!
I was not able to get the panel and ice chute off, so I was able to replace the paddle without taking the whole front panel off. If you work the back of the paddle into the slot behind the ice chute from left to right. Once you work it behind the ice chute, take a small flat blade screwdriver and push the spring extention that sticks out up, so you can work it into the spring slot and pop the left plastic tab in. You can see the plastic left peg once its in in the left hole. Youll know its correct when the right peg bevel is far enough over that you can slide it up and into the right hole. For alot of people it might be easier to just take off the panel as in the video, but for mine, it looked like if I forced it, it would break and I have a history of doing that and breaking it, lol. Good luck.
This solution still works., four years later. Finding the part number was a pain. I finally came back to this site and found the p/n in the comments. Samsung is no help. They want you to buy the entire control panel.
You have to make sure the spring is properly installed or it will drip water or discharge ice. The spring holds the lever out away from the control switch so the proper installation essential.
Great video! Very helpful!
Thank you Much! that is super helpful!. as a suggestion if you can add the link where to get it it will be better.
Thanks , you have saved me a packet , hisense would not repair even though it was 4 months old , 1 screw and your advice is invaluable , thanks again .
That's great Kevin. Glad I could help.
I have same problem with my refrigerator but I could not take unite out to install the Lever Dispenser. Please advise.

Thank you so much. 👍
Thank you!
Great video, I fixed my dispenser lever but now my keypad is not activating
Hello frank do you happen to remember where you purchased this part? And if so was there a part #an could you please provide the part #? Thank you so much for this video
Is there a spring the part is supposed to fit in?
Sweet!
WOW, that was really quick & cheap. Im having trouble unscrewing the screw. Tried 2 sizes of Phillips, both slipping.. Shining the flashlight, i can't tell if its a square or hexagon shape.
It's a Fridgedaire Electrolux FG HB2869TF3.
I'm thinking the Return Spring may have come loose. It just flops. Doesn't catch anymore.
I cleaned any sticky off the exterior but, my photos indicate there might be some sticky soda up inside there. Can barely see a Spring in the photo.
I couldnt get my head or eyeballs in there, to look, so i used the camera w/Light.
Any suggestions?
Hello frank can u take a picture of where you put your hand to pull out the face I can’t get mine out and it is very molded
Hey Frank! Cool! I could do that! 8 bucks cool too! Replacement part co you use?
But say now
mine works part way...
it stays on- the switch sometimes doesn't stop... water or ice keeps running if not a double tap
could that be a spring or
just easiest to replace the part as a whole... Probably
Hi! Where did you buy the Samsung water dispenser paddle? I want to replace by myself. Looks like an easy fix. TYIA
How dis you attach the return spring?
I think my Spring came loose.
I need to know how, too!
Where did you buy the replacement dispenser?
mine didn't come off at all and also my screen doesn't work what so ever. trying to get it fixed without having to call someone
Where did you buy the parts?
Hi Frank, would you mind telling me what website you go it from? Thanks a lot for the video, very helpful.
Hey Flavius, You can get it on Ebay or partsdr.com for 8.00. Here is the part number. Samsung DA66-00850A Lever-dispenser. Good Luck.
@@safetyguard1 thank you!
Hi frank does the paddle have the springs? I couldn’t see the springs when you replaced the paddle. Does it have on or two springs? MIne has one and I am wondering if I am missing one.
They only have one on the left side. I didn't see him deal woth it though.
Second request, need to know how to put the spring in this process, my water keeps turning on by itself and spilling all over my kitchen floor Please advise
you need to replace the spring or it just popped off and just pop i back on. maybe this will help.ua-cam.com/video/oHJW9r6ji3k/v-deo.html
What about a spring?
What about the return spring?
Yes, I need to know How to reattach spring, too
What if your wire broke?
Hi Frank my model is Samsung RF28HMEDBSR- AA 02 and dispenser lever is broke, I cannot find replacement dispenser lever also I tried to take the cover out like you did just to see but it’s stiff, I don’t want to put too much power and end up breaking something else
I have the same model and can’t find the part . I also can’t get the front panel off. Parvez A, did you find the part and the removal solution?
@@joycegustaf7929 I was able to remove it, the way it shows in the video, you have to pull little hard and use some strength make sure you wear working gloves to avoid any plastic cuts but I m still figuring out parts I know there are parts available but you may have to buy the whole panel
@@parveza7729 Were you have to find the correct parts? I'm trying to figure out if I can just buy the Plastic Lever (DA66-00850A), spring (DA61-06033B), and faceplate (already have), or if I have to buy the whole assembly as one (DA97-12628H) for the RF28HMEDBSR/AA model.
Very important things missing or changed. 1. Have mildew house ready. When you pull that, you will see mold, black mold. No kidding. Now is time to clean that area. 2. Changing the actuator paddle, metal top. There is now 4 tabs on the back you have to bend out before swapping. Bend back in after swapping. 3. Inserting the paddle, a small spring is included and necessary, don't lose it. The spring allow the actuator to return to off position after pressing and will fall off if not careful. It goes on the big side. Took me three tries to get it correct. If incorrect water ice keeps running, self explanatory. Good look.
I think the Spring might be my problem. Do you think they can work their way loose? My paddle no longer catches. If just flops & Water, or ice, depending on the setting, continuously dispenses Water/ice. I'm hoping it's an easy fix
@@stettenfarms no spring or wrong side, it does not return correctly. It is small
It's looks easy when you take it out the front face, but i am confused with the stainless steel you removed from that lever...?
Hey Gina don't be confused it's very easy. The stainless steel lever is actually a front plate that snaps in. After you remover the entire lever just take a very small screw driver and insert it on the side of the stainless steel and slowly ply it of. It will come right off. I hope that helps. Thanks
Hi where can l get a paddle for my Samsung 2 door refrigerator ice/ water dispenser
@@safetyguard1Hi Frank, l'm writing you from Newfoundland, Canada you said in your video on how to replace the paddle for ice/water dispenser on your Samsung 2 door refrigerator that you only paid 8 dollars for the paddle, would you be able to send me one or tell me where l can purchase one, thanks cy_gone1@msn.com
Does anyone know the part number for the paddle?
Hey David DD here is the part number. Samsung DA66-00850A Lever-dispenser. Just put it in the google search and it will come up. Good Luck.
How about disconnect the Fridge before this proceeding and avoid Electrical Troubles?
Hi Yesimhere2, There's no need to disconnect the fridge It's pretty simple to disconnect the connection. Thanks for your comment.
The panel will not budge. Seems to be stuck even though the screw has been removed. Any suggestions?
Mine has 2 screws
I managed to get the screw out but my panel will not budge.
Mine has 2 screws. One right, one left
Theres no reason to take it apart to replace the lever it just pops into place
What about that fucking little spring tho
READ BELOW
The spring popped out as well... Not sure where it goes.
Hey Marques on my refrigerator I did not have a spring when I took it off and when I put it back on. There was just 2 tabs and a black box. Maybe the spring was in the box. I have seen a spring on some of these before and they were on the left side. they connected to the left tab and went straight up into a slot. I hope that helps.
@@safetyguard1 thanks o figured it out.
@@marques10010 ... are you able to show a picture demonstrating where the spring slides into place ? Thanks.
@@raydon60 I actually did a video there are two holes on one side
@@marques10010 ... thank you. A big help.
