📦 Part Details
- Part Number: DA97-21001A
- Type: Refrigerator tray drawer assembly — crisper/produce drawer for Samsung fresh food section
- Replaces: OEM direct-fit tray drawer assembly (no modification required)
- Brands: Samsung
While replacing the drawer, inspect the plastic slide rails and mounting clips inside the refrigerator cavity — broken rails are often what caused the drawer to crack in the first place. If the rails are damaged, replacing them at the same time prevents the new drawer from failing prematurely.
⚙️ Installation
Skill Level: EASY — Under 5 minutes. No tools required and no power disconnect needed. Simply slide the old drawer out of the tracks, align the new DA97-21001A with the slide rails, and push it in until it clicks into place. Confirm the drawer slides smoothly and seats fully before loading with food.
💡 Pro Tip
Samsung crisper drawers are rated for produce loads, not heavy deli containers or stacked items. Overloading — especially with heavy glass containers — is the leading cause of cracking at the front face and rail tabs. Keep the drawer under 10 lbs total load and it will last the life of the refrigerator.
