Key features
  • Newer revised version of earlier Samsung refrigerator defrost and temperature sensors
  • Approximately 9 inches long with a Molex-style harness connector
  • Helps correct erratic or too-high / too-low temperatures caused by a failed sensor
  • Helps prevent premature defrost termination caused by a failed sensor
  • Simple multimeter check - a good sensor reads about 5000 ohms at 77 degrees F

Description

The DA32-10104N is a newer revised version of other defrost and temperature sensors on a Samsung Refrigerator. It is approximately 9", and the Molex harness style should be noted. If this part goes bad in your refrigerator, it can cause temperatures to be erratic, or too high or low, depending on how it failed, as well as premature defrost termination. A typical sensor such as this one should measure 5,000 ohms @ 77*F when tested with a multimeter. If the number goes above or below that by 10%, its likely bad, causing many issues for your refrigerator.

Questions & answers

What other parts should I replace with this sensor to stop ice buildup?

Most ice-buildup repairs pair this sensor with the secondary heater kit, plus a new evaporator cover if yours is waterlogged or damaged. The control board usually doesn't need replacing.

Is this the same as the DA32-00006W sensor?

They work the same and use the same harness connector. The difference is the lead: about 7 inches on DA32-10104N vs about 16 inches on DA32-00006W.

How do I know if my defrost sensor is bad?

Test it with a multimeter - it should read about 5000 ohms at 77 degrees F. Resistance changes with temperature; a reading more than 10% above or below that likely means it's bad.

Can a bad defrost sensor cause water under my crisper drawers?

Yes - poor defrosting can freeze the drain and back water up under the drawers. If a new sensor doesn't fix it, check for a clogged or frozen drain line or a bad drain heater.

What symptoms does a bad sensor cause?

Erratic temperatures, temperatures that run too high or too low, and premature defrost termination.

How long is the sensor?

The lead is about 7 inches. If your original's lead is closer to 16 inches, you need DA32-00006W instead.

What connector does it use?

It uses a Molex-style harness - compare it with your original's harness before ordering.

How do I check if it fits my refrigerator?

Type your full model number into the fit checker on this page or find it in the compatible model list. Not listed? Contact us with your model number.

Will this fit a RF28HMEDBSR?

Yes - the RF28HMEDBSR is listed as a model that uses part DA32-10104N.

Will this fit a RF263BEAESG?

Yes - the RF263BEAESG is listed as a model that uses part DA32-10104N.

Fixed my fridge!

Thanks to their YouTube videos and the quick parts kit, I was able to fix my fridge with ease!

Would have a new $4k fridge if it wasn’t for this!

We have a Samsung beautiful fridge with two doors for the fridge and a drink drawer and the freezer on bottom. We never had an issue with the freezer or the drink drawer but the fridge would over time freeze up and wouldn’t slow the fan to blow cool air around the fridge. So we watched a video on this exact fridge and how to replace the fan. Thinking the fan was bad. Nobody would work on this Samsung so we were left to diagnose and repair ourselves. After replacing the fan two times and wasting about $200 in food and the fridge not fixed, we found Bills Appliance site and his exact video of our fridge and how to officially and correctly repair the issue. The issue all surrounded the fridge never defrosting properly causing the ice to build up and smother the circulation fan. Then it wouldn’t cool anymore. Bills Appliance sold me a retrofit additional defrosting wire that gets put in place on the cooling fins and wired into the current connectors. The whole job was very easy to do if you pay attention to the video. We haven’t had an issue since and the fridge is working perfect again. This kit saved us from buying another ridiculous $4k fridge to replace this one.

Problem solved!!

I noticed my refrigerator temp appeared off; investigating the problem I found the ice buildup on that back wall. After viewing your video 2x and obtaining the kit necessary to add the additional heater- problem addressed in about 90 minutes! The refrigerator temp has been consistent at 35-36 degrees without any issues! Great videos, great tool kit- bravo!!

Some parts fit, some didn't

Purchased the kit for my dad's 'fridge. I realize there are different models, but on the video, Ben replaced the sensor, and it had a long wire/pigtail. The one that arrived in my kit has a wire that is about 1/3 the length of the one in the video. Couldn't use it. Also, the foam/mylar tape for the bottom of the drain trough was completely different than Ben's tape. Made it difficult to install the larger cover. the front cover has a lip that helps direct the water into the drain, and I am not sure it even overlapped properly, as the lip made contact with the mylar foam, and bungled up the bottom of the front cover.

Samsung Refrigerator Freeze

Ok, I waited several months to report back and I can say this repair (defrost sensor and additional heating element) has taken care of my reoccurring freeze up and fan noise.
Kudos to Ben and his knowledge of these refrigerators. I was ready to recycle this one and buy new but this extended the life of this Samsung refrigerator.
Thanks a bunch!

Great instructions and replacement parts

After some research online, I was able to determine that there was an issue with our Samsung's defrosting. I watched Ben's video a couple of time before ordering the kit from his website. It has been working great ever since. Thanks, Ben!

As new.

Video and supplies worked very well. The fridge is working as new. Bought 7 years ago. Tip: I have used our waterpik to shoot hot water in the ice clocked drain. So no day waiting to defrost. Thanks.

Very thankful

I am so glad I stumbled across this repair video from YouTube which then connected me to the website. My Samsung refrigerator was not cooling properly but the freezer was. I had an appliance repair person come and look at it, paid them about $150 to tell me that I needed to spend $1,250 to get it fixed. I knew that my refrigerator was still in very good condition as it wasn't that old so I figured I would try the repair kit. Everything I needed to it fixed was provided, my brother was visiting for the weekend and he offered to help me. That evening my refrigerator was back up and running. It's been a few weeks now and it is still very cold. I am so glad I spent $60, follow the video that was very clear and got the job done ourselves. Thank you so much for saving me a butt-load of money.

Fixed my Samsung!

My Samsung was not cooling in the main refrigerator compartment. It was frozen in the back and would not defrost. Watched the video on this item and decided to try it. I thawed the ice with heat then followed the installation instructions per the video.
I have had NO issues with my refrigerator since installing and my fresh food compartment is holding steady at 38 degrees! I HIGHLY recommend this if you have the same issue.

Amazing customer service, thank you Jeff!

I ordered the Samsung de-icing kit and back panel, the back panel ended up being the incorrect size. Jeff, the customer service rep at Ben's helped get me the correct one fast and the installation was a breeze. Thanks so much for the help, and I will definitely be shopping here in the future!
