Please don’t forget to replace the “door closing sensor” as well, the video doesn’t show at 4:40-4:50, but there is a sensor and if you don’t place it correctly THE BEEPING SOUND (as if the door is open) will continue while the door is closed. The sensor should be closer to the turning point.
This was pretty easy... didn't need to drill like the others are saying.. just poked through the very, very thin plastic covering with an ink pen... easy peasy.. All the extra parts were there as well...
Good video all apart from the plastic cover for the top door hinge, which ever way i tried to get it to fit, it would not sit right, ended up cutting bits off it
I like how the cables that went inside that door went from the protective white cover from being in the middle to being on the outside on the end result.
I have a samsung fridge, the door magnet no longer connects, so i guess the best option is to just switch the door over to the other side, however I am fairly sure I had another part which was mirrored the top part on the door, but not sure, can you use the same part or do you need a new part for this which is mirrored ?
We bought the US version of this and at 4:06 when they are screwing in the hinge -- ours has no pre-drilled holes! LOL. Guess no one QA'd before it left the factory. We even bought two of them as they are convertible freezers or fridges. Both have the same exact issue. aye yey yey
@@fdepaola I contacted Samsung and they deemed it "defective" and offered me a full refund. But you will see others have drilled through the plastic themselves and found the threaded holes. Yes, you should not have to do this yourself -- but after doing a bit of research on samsung refrigerator issues in general...I'm not surprised they have an issue with their manufacturing.
I found the answer. We have to because while using one side magnet is stronger, once wr reverse the door stronger magnet will stay another side and it will cause the air leaking.
Good and helpful video although makes every step look much easier than it is. My fridge also doesn’t have drill holes in the bottom of it on the desired side so I’m having to improvise and drill my own. Very disappointing.
We have that same issue! Did drilling the holes work out well? We even had a samsung pro come do a warranty call on it to figure out the issue and they were stumped as well but did not want to drill in for fear of causing damage. We are waiting on samsung engineering to contact us. Are you in the US?
@@surina777 I'm in the UK. The manually drilled holes worked fine and it was fairly easy to do. Bit odd to have to do it but glad it worked out in my case. Good luck with yours!
@@surina777 the holes are there but covered in a thin metal layer that needs to be punctured first. Once that's done run the screws in first before attaching the parts to make sure it screws in nice and easy.
@@neilread1 thank you for this advice...I'm still waiting on samsung to reply about this as I don't want my warranty voided if this is done. In fact I'd rather have the samsung pro back to come do it. It's quite amazing they advertise the freezers as reversible doors but then sounds like this issue is not isolated. Sounds like it stems from the factory itself.
It's stupid that you have to tilt the fridge. The bottom hinge should be changeable from the front. Samsung please improve the User Experience of your fridge products. The reversing process is terrible and unthought.
Had a nightmare changing the door hinges on my new Samsung fridge today. Not happy in the least!! Instructions were useless, plastic trim was a disaster to remove without damaging and this video made it look a breeze. @SAMSUNG If you are going to produce videos at least be honest with the end user as to how awkward your products actually are!! So my fridge was less than 1 hour old when I ended up putting scratches on the plastic blanking caps trying to remove them with something thin yet strong. Properly miffed with the experience!!!
They should just ask the customer before ordering, what side do they prefer it open. I ordered mine online & did not know or even think about it & just assumed it would open from the right like my old fridge. What a stroke to change it....😐

@@mertmentess where did you find this information We've just brought this fridge freezer and had to reverse door , don't think the seals were reversed and doors don't seem to shut properly
Since reversing the door my freezer door is sticking out slightly and the black plastic thing screwed in on the underside of the fridge door keeps catching on the freezer. I assumed it needed to be removed but can see it’s still on in the video at the end. Also I can’t get the top arm wire cover to stay on. I’ve tried everything so had to remove as was catching. Please can anyone help. My new fridge freezer just isn’t the same now.
Hello I'm having a similar problem. My wire cover keeps popping up on the hinge side when I close the door. It says down fine with the door open but as soon as I close the door it pops up again. Do you find when you have your fridge door open that you can hold door and it moves up a bit?
@@markdanny1908 i had this problem. I realised after checking there is another plastic 'spacer' component on the underside of the fridge door that you need to unscrew and move over to the opposite side (although i didn't see this in the instructions!) This adds a few millimetres and stops the top door cover popping off.
Samsung if you are going to do instruction video then DO NOT MAKE CUTS IN CRUCIAL MOMENTS. I'm unable to fit my cover on upper hinge and on 6:08 mark you made a cut and this cover magically appear on the spot. How did he fit it there? Maybe I'm stupid, but I'm ok with that as long as you provide USEFUL video instruction.
Who engineered that? I mean, seriously. We needed to drill new holes. Changed the doors on my old Liebherr and it took me 20 minutes. Samsung? Solid two hours and needed my whole equipment. Because, whelp, the threads weren’t even drilled. Very bad quality and user experience.
Useful video. Far better than paper instructions, but still took me 2 hours.
good shout. 2 hours

Just drilled through the plastic
Didn’t feel like going through their hotline and schedule a maintenance job
why switching the gasket? thanks for the tutorial
same here, no idea...
I didn’t do it on mine. Wasn’t even sure how. I can’t get the arm cover cap back in flush tho. Any ideas?

@@FreshTopEnd Lol....I am also a Jason C 😁
One question, how do you have a reversed cap @6:10? Mine seems to fall on the bottom part when reversed, which doesn't fit anymore? Am I being stupid?
great tune
Well that looks like a bloody nightmare
Yeah 2:46 is where I decided not to do this...
Yes, I am having second thoughts. I finally decided not to after watching videos done by end users.
There is that, but how about 5:39 where you have to balance the door on your knee while you fit the hinge on?!
Why not assemble the top door while it’s lying flat?
So this fridge has been designed to be reversible. What do you do with a fridge that’s not?
Does this void warranty
Why does the gasket need reversing? Whats the point? How does it work, i need to know

@@mertmentess where did you find this information
We've just brought this fridge freezer and had to reverse door , don't think the seals were reversed and doors don't seem to shut properly
Are those hinges the same ones or do you need a right hand / left hand ones?
Same one just reverse them.
@@mertmentess How are they same, are you blind, look they are different for left and right side, idiots these days jesus...
It should be mentioned to which models this video apply. Not all models (in fact very few) support door inversion.
Apparently we're not allowed to reverse the doors ourselves but must pay for this to be done for us!
Not sure if I should do this.
Some say it's almost impossible, some say it's easy?
After watching a video done by an actual customer, I have decided to keep the door how it is.
Since reversing the door my freezer door is sticking out slightly and the black plastic thing screwed in on the underside of the fridge door keeps catching on the freezer.

Where do you get the additional parts from?
They came with mine at delivery, I ordered the same exact fridge that's they're using in this vid. And those extra parts were in it.
Is the Bottom Mount Freezer with Optimal Fresh Zone (RB30N4050B1)'s door reversible?
Does anyone know this?

Change the position of gaskets??? Whaaat?

Why have this video when it voids warranty and is not a DIY task but a chargeable service? How poor can your customer service get?
whether you do it or not... there is no customer service from scamsung :D so you didnt lose anything :D
never buy ANYTHING from Samsung.
