Product Overview:
Supports the center interface between two fresh food doors, the Samsung DA97-12624A Refrigerator Flipper Assembly is a movable door component used in specified Samsung French-door refrigerators. Installed along the vertical edge of one fresh food door, its articulated design allows the component to change position as the door opens and closes. When both doors are closed, the assembly moves into its designated position at the center junction between the doors.
Pivot Movement:
The flipper assembly uses a movable pivot arrangement that allows it to change position with the refrigerator door. As the door opens, the assembly moves away from the center junction to provide the required clearance. When the door closes, the component returns toward its designated position and aligns with the opposing door.
Center Door Alignment;
At the closed-door position, the flipper assembly occupies the center area between the paired fresh food doors. Its vertical structure works with the surrounding door components to form the intended center interface. Proper positioning allows the two door panels to meet according to the refrigerator's French-door design.
Replacement Guidelines:
Replacement may be appropriate when the Samsung DA97-12624A Refrigerator Flipper Assembly has physical damage or mechanical deterioration that prevents it from moving correctly with the refrigerator door. Cracks, deformation, excessive looseness, restricted articulation, or damaged pivot areas can affect the assembly's ability to reach its intended position during door operation.
Common Signs of Wear:
A worn or damaged flipper assembly may show:
Cracks or fractures in the assembly body.
Excessive looseness around the pivot area.
Restricted or uneven movement during door operation.
Bent or distorted structural sections.
Failure to return to its intended position.
Misalignment at the center junction between the doors.
Visible wear around moving or contact areas.
Equipment Compatibility:
The Samsung DA97-12624A Refrigerator Flipper Assembly is intended for select Samsung French-door refrigerator configurations that use this type of movable center door interface. Application depends on the refrigerator model and corresponding door assembly design.
