The DA97-12434A is the OEM FlexZone drawer assembly for Samsung French Door refrigerators. The FlexZone drawer is the full-width convertible compartment that switches between refrigerator and freezer modes with four selectable temperature settings. When the drawer cracks, breaks, loses its seal, or stops holding temperature — food spoils faster, the compartment becomes unusable, and the refrigerator works harder to compensate. This is the complete OEM assembly replacement.
Is This the Part You Need?
The FlexZone drawer is the large pull-out compartment typically located below the main refrigerator section and above the freezer drawer on Samsung French Door models. If the drawer body is cracked, the rails are broken, the seal is compromised, or the temperature control is no longer functioning correctly, this full assembly replacement is the correct fix. Confirm your model number before ordering.
⚠ Temperature Not Holding in the FlexZone?
If the drawer itself is physically intact but not maintaining temperature, the issue may be with the FlexZone temperature sensor or control board rather than the drawer assembly. Contact us with your model number and we can help diagnose before you order.

Installation Notes
Disconnect power before beginning this repair. Remove all contents from the FlexZone drawer and the compartment below. The drawer assembly typically slides out on rails — lift the front slightly and pull forward to disengage from the glides. Disconnect any wiring harness for the temperature control panel before fully removing the old drawer. Reverse the process to install the new assembly, ensuring the wiring harness is fully reconnected and the drawer slides smoothly on both rails before restoring power. Difficulty: 2/5. Estimated time: 20–40 minutes.

💡 Pro Tip — Check the Drawer Glides Before Ordering the Full Assembly:
If the drawer is physically intact but won’t slide smoothly, the issue may be with the drawer glides or rail brackets rather than the drawer body itself. Inspect both side rails for cracks or broken mounting points before ordering the full assembly — glide components are significantly less expensive. If the drawer body itself is cracked or the seal is compromised, the full DA97-12434A assembly is the correct repair.
