DA41-00614B Samsung Refrigerator Compressor Inverter Board: Not the Main Control Board, RF42 and RFG29 Fitment
Panel lit but the compressor stays silent? Samsung's own paperwork calls this a sub PCB, the smaller board that drives the compressor on RF42 and RFG29 cabinets, and it is a different part from the main control board most owners order first.
The DA41-00614B is a compressor inverter board, the smaller sub PCB that sits between the main control board and the compressor motor on Samsung's RF42 four-door and RFG29 French-door refrigerator cabinets. It switches the drive power that starts and runs the compressor. It is not the main control board, the larger assembly that runs the display and the rest of the appliance's logic; that is a separate part with its own number. On these cabinets, a no-cool complaint gets blamed on "the control board" more often than not, and this smaller sub board is the one to check first. DA41-00614B is the number printed on your board's white sticker; match it before you order. Send us a photo of your board sticker if you want it confirmed first.
Even if you end up calling a tech, these checks mean you can tell them exactly what you found, which usually shortens the visit and the bill.
DA41-00614B or DA41-00614F: Which Number Is on Your Board?
DA41-00614B is the production number printed on the white sticker on this Samsung compressor inverter board, the sub PCB that drives the compressor on RF42 and RFG29 cabinets. It is not the same part as the similarly numbered DA41-00614F, a separate inverter platform built for other Samsung cabinets. Match the sticker exactly before you order.
Samsung stamps one number on this board, the number on the white sticker, and that is what decides fitment. There is no separate manufacturer service number to track down here. What trips people up instead is the family: DA41-00614F is a different Samsung inverter, built for a different set of cabinets, and it does not replace or get replaced by DA41-00614B in either direction. Read the last letter on your sticker before you order, because that letter is the whole difference between the two.
This inverter is not a universal board. It replaces the exact number on your original board's sticker, DA41-00614B, and nothing else. A board that looks the same on the outside can still be a different platform underneath, so the sticker decides, not the shape of the board.
| Number on the board | DA41-00614B, printed on the white sticker on the board itself |
| Board type | Compressor inverter board, a sub PCB assembly that sits between the main control board and the compressor motor. It is subordinate to the main board, not a stand-in for it |
| Not the same as | DA41-00614F, a separate Samsung inverter built for a different set of cabinets. The two are different platforms with separate service records, and neither one replaces the other |
| Cross references | AP4568216, PS4139972, EAP4139972, ASM1560954 and PD00008073 are cross-reference numbers used by parts catalogs for this same board |

Which Samsung Refrigerators Use the DA41-00614B Inverter Board?
DA41-00614B fits Samsung's RF42 four-door and RFG29 French-door refrigerator cabinets, including the RF4287 platform. The published fitment record lists a long run of compatible models; our own record could only confirm a documented sample of that list, so treat any model list as a floor, not a ceiling. Confirm your old board's sticker against this number before you order.
Model Number Check
The white sticker carries the production number in full. Photograph it before the board comes out and order against what it says.
3 models on record for DA41-00614B. A linked model has its own page with board location, symptoms and parts for that refrigerator.
- RF4287HARS/XAA
- RFG29PHDRS/XAA
- RFG29PHDBP/XAA
Not listed? Run your model through the check above and use its buttons; a missing model is not the same as incompatible.
As far as we have seen, this inverter mounts in the rear machine-compartment control housing near the compressor on the cabinets it fits.
This is a documented sample, not the complete fitment list. The published fitment record for this board runs long, and our record could not verify all of it, so treat the models above as a floor rather than a ceiling. The number on your original board's sticker is what actually decides fitment, not the model plate. Expect to find this inverter behind cabinets starting with RF42 and RFG29, so check yours against the tool above even if you do not see your exact model spelled out.
Panel Lights Up But the Fridge Won't Cool: Is It This Inverter or the Main Board?
This board drives the compressor, so the symptom it causes is a fridge that stops cooling while the rest of the panel still works. On RF42 and RFG29 cabinets, a lit and responsive panel with a silent compressor points at this inverter. A dead or scrambled panel points at the separate main control board for your model instead. Rule out the cheaper parts before you order.
Unplug the refrigerator before you take any panel off. These are the complaints that bring people to this board.
- Samsung refrigerator stopped cooling, freezer and fridge both warm
- Compressor never tries to start, though the panel lights up normally
- Compressor clicks or hums, then goes silent
- A condenser or evaporator fan that never spins: its own check to rule out before you blame this board
- Visible burn marks or scorched spots on the board itself
On RF42 and RFG29 cabinets, including the RF4287 platform, this inverter and a separate main control board can both cause a no-cool complaint, and the two failures look different at the front of the fridge. A panel that lights up and responds normally, paired with a compressor that stays silent, points at this inverter. A panel that is dead or scrambled points at the main control board instead, a different part carrying its own number for your model.
We'll rule out the things that mimic a dead inverter first. These are cheap to rule out, and clearing them first means you only have to order once.
The board's white sticker carries the production number, and that number is what decides which board fits. Read it in place, before any packaging is opened.
A scorch mark or burn spot on the board itself is a quick, no-cost way to confirm a bad inverter before you test anything else.
On RF42 and RFG29 cabinets, the panel tells you which board failed.
A loose or corroded harness clip can mimic a dead inverter just as easily as a failed component on the board itself.
A compressor that clicks or hums and then gives up points at lost drive from this inverter rather than a dead compressor itself.
A refrigerator that has stopped cooling is not a reason to replace the whole appliance. The compressor, cabinet and the rest of the sealed system usually still have years of service left in them, and a sub board like this one is a contained, bench-level repair behind one panel, not a system-wide fault.
How Do You Replace a Samsung Refrigerator Inverter Board (DA41-00614B)?
The DA41-00614B is an easy swap. As far as we have seen, it goes in with screwdrivers only, no programming, and takes under 15 minutes once the rear access panel is off.
Unplug the refrigerator and pull it out far enough to reach the back. Remove the rear access panel to reach the machine compartment. Photograph the board with every harness connected, touch the metal frame to discharge static, then release each harness by its clip rather than pulling the wires, back out the mounting screws and lift the board clear. Set the new board in with the same orientation, plug every harness back in per your photo, and close up the access panel. No programming step follows.
Still Won't Cool After You Swap the DA41-00614B?
A new DA41-00614B that changes nothing usually means a harness was not fully reseated or the real fault sits elsewhere. Reseat every harness connector fully, and on RF42 or RFG29 cabinets, recheck whether the panel is lit and responsive before ruling the repair complete.
Check the new board against your photo
A board that does not match what came out is not normal: a different label, a different connector layout, a different mounting point. Size and harness layout should match the board you took out.
Reseat every harness
A harness clip that seems connected but is not fully seated behaves exactly like a dead inverter.
Recheck the panel split on RF42 or RFG29
If the panel is lit and the compressor still stays silent, the inverter side of the repair is likely correct and the remaining fault may sit in the compressor or its wiring. If the panel was dead to begin with, the fault was always on the main control board, not here.
Confirm you did not order the wrong letter
DA41-00614B and DA41-00614F are different platforms. If your old board's sticker actually read DA41-00614F, the DA41-00614B is not the board for that cabinet.
Give it time
A compressor that has sat idle can take a few hours at a normal setting to catch back up, even with a good inverter driving it.
How Can You Extend the Life of Your New Inverter Board?
Surges, heat and moisture do the most damage to a Samsung refrigerator inverter board over time. Put the refrigerator on surge protection, keep the condenser coil clean, check for moisture near the compartment, and mark the cabinet with the number that actually fits to protect your new DA41-00614B.
While you are back there, run a few quick checks to help your new inverter live a long life.
- Put the refrigerator on surge protection. A spike from lightning, a utility fault or a generator changeover goes straight through the inverter feeding the compressor, no matter which sticker is on the board. A surge protector rated for a large appliance is cheap insurance against buying this same part twice.
- Clean the condenser coil. A dust-packed coil forces the compressor and both fans to run longer and hotter, and this inverter heats up right along with them. Pull the lower grille, vacuum the coil and shroud, and check the condenser fan spins freely.
- Check for moisture near the compartment. A clogged drain line or a slow weep at a water fitting lets dampness collect right where this board sits. Dry the area and check for old staining before you button the panel back up.
- Mark the cabinet with the number that actually fits. DA41-00614B and the similarly numbered DA41-00614F circulate on different Samsung cabinets that can look alike from the back. Write DA41-00614B on the compartment near the board now, so a future repair starts from the sticker rather than a guess.
What Else Is Worth Checking While the Panel Is Off?
The condenser fan sits in the same machine compartment as the DA41-00614B, and the harness connectors behind the panel are easy to check while it is open. The evaporator fan and the separate main control board live elsewhere on the cabinet but are worth ruling out too. Checking a worn part now means you are not back in this panel a second time.

What Other Questions Come Up About the DA41-00614B?
DA41-00614B and DA41-00614F are different Samsung inverter platforms and are not interchangeable; an RF4287 carries this inverter plus a separate main control board, and the panel-versus-compressor split, not the model number alone, tells you which one failed.
What does the DA41-00614B inverter board actually do?
It is a compressor inverter board, a sub PCB that sits between the main control board and the compressor motor on RF42 and RFG29 cabinets. It switches the drive power that starts and runs the compressor. It does not run the display or the rest of the appliance's logic; that job belongs to the separate main control board.
Is the DA41-00614B the main control board?
No. It is a sub PCB assembly, subordinate to the main control board and dedicated to driving the compressor. The main control board is a separate, larger assembly that runs the display and the rest of the appliance's logic. A panel that lights up and responds normally, with a compressor that stays silent, points at this inverter rather than the main board.
My model is an RF4287. Is the DA41-00614B my board?
The RF4287 platform carries this inverter and a separate main control board, so the number alone does not settle it. If the panel lights up and responds but the compressor never tries to start, this inverter is the likely cause. If the panel is dead or scrambled, the main control board for your model is the more likely cause instead. Either way, confirm against the sticker on your old board before you order.
My panel lights up but the fridge stays warm. Is that this inverter?
That is the pattern this board fits. It drives the compressor, not the panel, so a unit that powers up normally with a compressor that stays silent points here. A panel that is dead or scrambled instead points at the separate main control board for your model.
Is DA41-00614F the same board as DA41-00614B?
No. DA41-00614B and DA41-00614F are different platforms with separate service records. DA41-00614B serves RF42 four-door and RFG29 French-door cabinets; DA41-00614F serves a different set of side-by-side and French-door families. Neither one replaces the other. Go by the last letter on your sticker.
Does the DA41-00614B need programming after I install it?
As far as we have seen, this board goes in as a straight swap with screwdrivers only. We have not come across a jumper or setup step needed on a standard replacement. Give the refrigerator a few hours at a normal setting before you judge it.
Why isn't my exact model listed in the compatibility check?
The published fitment record for this board runs longer than we could verify, so the list you see is a documented sample, not the complete fitment list. A model not appearing there does not mean it will not fit. Use the free check above to confirm before you order.
