Samsung Refrigerator French Door Flipper Assembly / French Assembly, Thai Silver; mullion door support with heater DA97-07661C

Genuine Samsung refrigerator French-door flipper or mullion assembly. It closes and seals the gap between the two French doors; the assembly includes a mullion heater component and is identified in Samsung parts documentation as an NW2-FDR, 6W, Thai Silver assembly.

Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Flipper/mullion does not swing into its sealing position when the doors close.
• Visible crack, bend, wear, or damage on the flipper assembly.
• A persistent gap is visible between the French doors when closed.
• Cold air escapes at the center-door seam or door closure feels loose.

Check Before Replacing

• With the refrigerator doors open, visually inspect the flipper for cracking, bending, loose fitment, or obstruction.
• Slowly close both French doors and observe whether the flipper pivots into the center gap and seats against the opposite door.
• With power disconnected before touching electrical components, inspect any accessible mullion-heater connector or lead for an obvious loose connection or physical damage.
• Check the opposing door gasket and door alignment as well; a center-seam air leak alone does not prove the flipper assembly has failed.
