DA92-00215C Samsung Refrigerator Inverter Board: Replaces DA94-00680A, Wide RF, RS, RH and RFG Fitment
Samsung refrigerator stopped cooling and the compressor never tries to start? This inverter board drives the compressor across a wide range of RF, RS, RH and RFG cabinets and is the current replacement for the older DA94-00680A.
The DA92-00215C is the compressor inverter board on Samsung refrigerators built on the AW4 inverter platform, the sub power control inverter that sits between the main control board and the compressor motor and switches the drive that starts and runs it. Our record places it behind the lower rear access panel in the machine compartment. If your Samsung refrigerator has stopped cooling and the compressor will not start, even though the rest of the unit seems to power up normally, this board is a common cause once the cheaper parts check out. It carries an unusually wide fitment: this same inverter serves French-door, side-by-side and RFG cabinets across several Samsung model years, and it is the official replacement for the earlier number DA94-00680A, so a sticker reading either number lands you on this part. DA92-00215C is the number printed on your board's white sticker; match it, or the DA94-00680A it replaces, 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.
DA92-00215C or DA94-00680A: Which Number Points to This Inverter Board?
DA92-00215C is the current production number for this Samsung inverter board, printed on the white sticker on the board itself. It is the official replacement for the earlier DA94-00680A, so a sticker reading either number points to this same part. It is not the same part as the similarly numbered DA92-00215B.
Samsung prints one number on this board, the number stamped on the white sticker, and that is what decides fitment. There is no separate manufacturer service number to juggle here the way some other appliance brands run two parallel numbering systems. What you do need to watch is the supersession: Samsung has folded the older DA94-00680A into the current DA92-00215C, so a sticker reading either number is the same board. The two numbers that look closest, DA92-00215B and DA92-00215C, are not interchangeable. They are separate, separately stocked parts, so go by exactly what your sticker reads rather than assuming a nearby suffix is close enough.
This inverter is not a catch-all part. It replaces the exact number on your original board, DA92-00215C or the DA94-00680A it supersedes, and nothing else. A board that looks the same on the outside can still carry different ratings inside it, so the sticker is what settles it, not the shape of the board.

Our record places this inverter behind the lower rear access panel in the machine compartment, next to the compressor it drives.
This is a reference list, not a complete one. Samsung carries this inverter forward across many model years, so refrigerators several years apart in age can still call for the same board. The number on your original board is what actually decides fitment, not the model plate. Expect to find it behind cabinets starting with RF24 through RF42, RS25, RH25 and RFG, so check yours against the tool above even if you do not see your exact model spelled out.
Samsung Refrigerator Not Cooling, Compressor Won't Start: Is the DA92-00215C the Cause?
This inverter drives the compressor, so a fridge that has stopped cooling with the compressor refusing to start is the core symptom it causes. On the RF4287 cabinet specifically, a display that still works but a compressor that never starts points at this inverter, while a dead display points at the separate main control board instead. Rule out visible board damage and a bad connector before you order; confirming live power at the compressor is a job for a qualified technician.
Unplug the refrigerator before you take any panel off. These are the complaints that bring people to this board.
- Samsung refrigerator not cooling, or cooling less than it used to
- Freezer not freezing while the rest of the unit still runs
- Compressor never tries to start, even though the unit is plugged in and powered
- The freezer or refrigerator (evaporator) fan not running
- Visible burn marks or scorched spots on the board itself
On the RF4287 cabinet, this inverter and a separate main control board handle different jobs, and the two failures look different at the front of the fridge. A display that still lights up and responds, with a compressor that never starts, points at this inverter. A display that is completely dead points at the main control board instead, a different part carrying its own number, DA92-00233D.
We'll rule out the things that mimic a dead inverter first. None of them cost much to check, and ruling them out means you only have to order the board once.
That white sticker carries the number that decides fitment. Read it in place, before any packaging is opened.
A scorch mark or discoloration on the board is often the quickest, no-cost way to spot a failed inverter before running any other test.
This cabinet also has a separate main control board, and the display tells you which one failed.
The inverter's job is to deliver switched drive power to the compressor once the main board calls for a run. You can check the connector and wiring for damage without touching live voltage; confirming actual power at the compressor while it is running is a job for a qualified technician.
A loose or corroded harness clip can mimic a dead inverter, so listen for how the compressor behaves before you rule the board in or out.
A refrigerator that has stopped cooling does not mean the whole appliance is done. The compressor, the cabinet and the rest of the sealed system typically still have plenty of service life left, and swapping this inverter is a contained repair behind a single panel rather than a full system failure.
How Do You Replace a Samsung Refrigerator Inverter Board (DA92-00215C)?
Our record places the DA92-00215C behind the lower rear access panel in the machine compartment, next to the compressor. Most installs are a harness-clip swap and take under 30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Unplug the refrigerator and pull it out far enough to reach the back. Remove the lower 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, free the board from its mounts and lift it clear. Set the replacement board in with the same orientation, plug every harness back per your photo, and close up the access panel.
Still Won't Cool After You Swap the DA92-00215C?
A new DA92-00215C that changes nothing usually means a harness was not fully reseated or the real fault sits elsewhere. Check your photo against every harness, and if it is an RF4287, recheck the display split before you call it.
Check the new board against your photo
A replacement that does not match what came out, a different label, a different connector arrangement, a different mounting point, is a red flag. The size and the harness layout should match the board you pulled.
Reseat every harness
A harness clip that looks connected but is not fully seated behaves exactly like a dead inverter.
Recheck the display split on an RF4287
If the display is alive and the compressor still will not start, the inverter side of the repair is likely correct and the fault may sit in the compressor itself or its wiring. If the display is dead, that points at the main board, not here.
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. Let it run several hours before you write the new board off.
Rule out a sibling mix-up
DA92-00215B is a separate, similarly numbered board sold for other units. A board that arrived under the wrong number will not behave like this one, no matter how carefully you install it.
What Helps a New Inverter Board Last Longer?
Voltage surges, heat and moisture cause most of the damage to a Samsung refrigerator inverter board. Three quick checks while the access panel is off protect your new DA92-00215C.
While you have access, three quick checks help the new inverter hold up over time.
- Put the refrigerator on surge protection. Lightning, a utility fault or a generator changeover sends a spike straight through the inverter. A surge protector rated for a large appliance is cheap insurance.
- Clean the condenser coil. A coil clogged with dust forces the compressor and both fans to run longer and hotter, and that heat carries over to the inverter sitting next to 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 or a slow leak in a water line can introduce moisture into the machine compartment where this board lives. Dry off any dampness and check for staining before buttoning the panel back up.
What Other Parts Deserve a Look While the Panel Is Off?
A few Samsung refrigerator parts are worth checking during the same repair as the DA92-00215C. Checking a worn one now means you will not have to open this panel a second time.
Why Do Appliance Pro USA Boards Hold Up So Well?
Every DA92-00215C from Appliance Pro USA is restored to reliable working condition through the FailSafe Precision Protocol. We replace the parts on this inverter that are known to fail, then test each board before it leaves the shop.
FailSafe Precision Protocol
Failure Pattern Analysis
We track how the DA92-00215C actually fails in the field, and use that pattern to decide what gets replaced before it ships.
Targeted Component Replacement
Those specific failure-prone parts get swapped out in advance instead of being left to fail once the board is on your bench.
Proactive Rebuild Standard
Every board receives the same set of high-failure parts in new condition, whether that unit is currently acting up or not. A part showing wear does not make it out the door.
Final Certification
Before shipping, we run each board through our internal FailSafe standard, checking both that it works and how long it should last.
Boards leave tested inventory and may show light cosmetic marks from that process. Each one is confirmed working before it ships.

What Other Questions Come Up About the DA92-00215C?
DA92-00215C is the current inverter board number and officially replaces the earlier DA94-00680A, so a sticker reading either number fits. It drives the compressor, not the display, fits a wide range of RF, RS, RH and RFG cabinets, and is not interchangeable with the similarly numbered DA92-00215B.
What does the DA92-00215C inverter board actually do?
It is the compressor inverter board, the sub power control inverter that sits between the main control board and the compressor motor. It takes the run command from the main board and delivers the switched drive power that starts and runs the compressor.
My old board's sticker reads DA94-00680A. Does DA92-00215C fit?
Yes. DA92-00215C is the current number and it officially replaces the earlier DA94-00680A. A sticker reading either number points to this same board.
Will the DA92-00215C fix a blank or dead display?
No, this inverter drives the compressor, not the display. One source also ties freezer and refrigerator fan operation to it. On the RF4287 platform, the display lives with the main control board, DA92-00233D; on other models in this inverter's fitment range, check your own model's parts list or send us the model number and we will point you to the right board.
My RF4287 display works, but the compressor never starts. Is this the board?
That split is exactly what separates the two boards in this cabinet. A working display with a compressor that will not start points at this inverter. If the display were dead too, the main control board, DA92-00233D, would be the more likely cause.
Is DA92-00215B the same board as DA92-00215C?
No. DA92-00215B is a separate, separately stocked inverter variant, and DA92-00215C does not replace it. Match the exact number on your sticker rather than assuming a close suffix is interchangeable.
What Samsung refrigerator families use this inverter?
This inverter is reused across an unusually wide range of Samsung cabinets, spanning the RF24 through RF42 French-door families, RS25 side-by-side cabinets, RH25 cabinets and RFG French-door cabinets. Use the checker above to confirm your specific model.
Does the DA92-00215C need programming after installation?
No catalog or service source we found lists a programming step for this board. Let it run several hours at a normal setting before you judge whether the swap worked.
