Introduction
This guide shows how to remove and replace a broken icemaker assembly in your Samsung RF28T5001SR refrigerator.
This model's icemaker resides in the freezer compartment. The icemaker uses a twisting mechanism to loosen the ice cubes from the tray. Oftentimes, the plastic tray cracks from repeated operation and the mechanism won't release the ice cubes anymore.
