DA94-06792D Samsung Refrigerator Board: How Do You Confirm the Right Number?
Samsung prints the complete production number on the white label, including the trailing letter. A sibling board with a different letter is built for a different production run, so match every character.
DA94-06792D sits in a family of visually similar Samsung boards that share the same base board number. Size, connector layout and mounting points still need to match the board you removed, so if anything is off, stop before installing and send us both photos: the board that came out with all of its stickers, and the one that arrived.
This is not a universal main control board - it is a direct replacement for the part number printed on your original board. Boards that look identical can be programmed differently, so always match the number on the sticker.
Which Samsung Refrigerators Use the DA94-06792D Main Control Board?
Not listed? A missing model is not the same as incompatible. Go by the sticker on your old board, or use the check above and send us a photo.
The board mounts inside the refrigerator cabinet, reached through a rear panel or an internal access panel near the control and compressor area. This model list is for reference only. Samsung may change boards between production runs, so two refrigerators with the same model number can use different boards. Always order by the part number printed on your original board - it is the only identifier that decides.
Opened or installed boards may carry a restocking and retesting fee, so compare the sticker before you open the anti-static bag. Hold yours next to DA94-06792D and check it character by character.
Samsung Fridge Not Cooling: Is It the DA94-06792D or Something Else?
These checks help you rule out the common causes before you order. Only a qualified technician on site can confirm the fault in your refrigerator. Unplug the refrigerator before you take any panel off, and stop at any step you are not comfortable with.
This board does not report error codes on a display, so diagnose by symptom instead.
Let's verify it is the board by checking the common parts that contribute to these failures. They are inexpensive, easy to check, and ruling them out means you order once, with confidence.
Confirm the production number on your sticker
Read the full number before anything else. If it matches DA94-06792D character for character, this is your board.
Check the outlet and the power cord
Confirm the outlet is live and the cord and plug are not damaged. A dead outlet looks exactly like a dead board.
Test the temperature sensors
A sensor that shorts or opens feeds the board bad information, and that is not the board's fault. Check the tech sheet, the wiring and test chart packed inside the appliance, and compare each sensor reading against it.
Inspect the defrost heater and its wiring
Look for a heater that no longer heats or a harness that has come loose behind the rear panel. A failing heater can mimic a board problem.
Listen for the compressor trying to start
If the compressor hums, clicks, then stops, the start components may be at fault before the board. Note what you hear so you can rule it out.
Once the sticker, the outlet, the sensors and the defrost heater all check out, the board is what is left. You need a replacement main control board, and you order it once. A sensor or heater that failed first may have stressed the board before it gave out. Keep a spare on the shelf and a warm fridge becomes a short swap instead of a long wait.
How Do You Replace the DA94-06792D Samsung Refrigerator Control Board?
Repair times and difficulty levels are general estimates and may vary by model, tool availability, and experience. This is provided as general guidance only and is not a substitute for professional service. Food is normally fine during a typical install, but we highly recommend moving it to a cooler with ice as a precaution - Appliance Pro USA is not responsible for lost or spoiled food.
Disconnect power at the outlet before you start. Give it a minute to settle.
Take off the rear panel or the internal access panel that covers the control board. Set the screws aside in order.
Shoot a clear photo of the board with every connector in place. This is your map for reinstalling.
Unplug every harness from the old board. Pull on the connector body, not the wires.
Remove the screws holding the board to its mounts and lift it free.
Set the new board in place, screw it down, and reconnect every harness to the position shown in your photo.
- ✓I read my sticker's full production number before ordering.
- ✓I confirmed the outlet is live and the cord is good.
- ✓I checked the temperature sensors against the tech sheet.
- ✓I inspected the defrost heater and its wiring.
- ✓I photographed every harness before disconnecting it.
On this board, fitting it is a straight swap. Reconnect every harness to the position you photographed, and give the refrigerator several hours before you judge the cooling. The 5-mil nitrile gloves in the box give grip and some protection, but they are not cut-proof. Hold the board by its edges and mind the sheet-metal edges of the cover.
Why Is Your Samsung Fridge Still Not Cooling After Installing the DA94-06792D?
Clicks and relay sounds are normal. The compressor may stay off for several minutes as a protection delay.
Fans run, compressor hums, and cold air shows up in the freezer first.
Both sections reach near set temperature. Do not load warm groceries before this.
Temperatures stabilize and the ice maker resumes. Now decide whether anything is wrong.
Once power is back on, the board compartment is live. Do not reach into it or reseat a plug with the refrigerator plugged in. Unplug first, every time.
Compare the new board to your photo
Size, connector layout and mounting points should match what you removed. If something looks off, stop and compare before you power up.
Recheck every harness connector
A connector that is one position off or not fully seated reads just like a dead board. Trace each one back to your photo.
Go back to the temperature sensors
A sensor that is stuck open or shorted feeds the new board the same bad reading it gave the old one.
Confirm the outlet and cord are still good
Rule out the simple cause again before you assume the new board is at fault.
Give it time before you judge it
Let the refrigerator run several hours at a normal setting. Compressor cycles and temperature pulldown both take time.
The troubleshooting steps above are general guidance only and may not apply to every model or situation. If you are unable to resolve the issue after following these steps, we recommend contacting our team or consulting a qualified appliance technician before taking further action.
How Do You Help Your New DA94-06792D Control Board Last?
Surge protection
A power blip or lightning strike sends a spike straight through the board. Repeated short outages add up faster than one long one.
Keep the condenser coil clean
A coil packed with dust makes the compressor and fans run longer and hotter, and the board runs hot with them.
Watch for moisture
A clogged drain or a weeping water line puts moisture into the board compartment. Wipe the area dry and check for staining when you have the panel off.
What Else Should You Check While the DA94-06792D Access Panel Is Open?
Temperature sensors Do it now
They sit behind the same panel and a drifting sensor can make a good board look faulty. Replace them now if they are original.
Defrost heater On frost
Already exposed once the access panel is off. A heater on its way out keeps frosting the back wall.
Evaporator and condenser fans If a fan drags
Both report to this board, and a fan dragging on its bearing works the board harder. Spin each by hand and listen.
Wiring harness and connectors Check now
Corroded or loose pins give the new board the same bad signal the old one got. Check each plug while everything is open.

Warranty coverage is determined at Appliance Pro USA's discretion. Boards that have been tampered with, or with our verification stickers or holograms removed or damaged, are not eligible for warranty coverage. Any board that has been flashed, reprogrammed, or had its firmware altered is not eligible for return or warranty coverage. Opened or installed boards may carry a restocking and retesting fee, so compare the sticker before you open the anti-static bag. Minor cosmetic wear may be present due to prior installation - it does not affect performance.
What Else Do People Ask About the DA94-06792D?
Why do I get so few results searching DA94-06792D?
Samsung has not issued a separate service number for this board, so the production number on your sticker is the only number to search by. A few letters off and you land on a sibling board built for a different run, like the A or J version.
What ships in the box with the DA94-06792D?
The board sealed in an anti-static bag, the Quick Start Guide, a pair of 5-mil nitrile install gloves, and the warranty registration card.
My replacement board looks different from the one I took out. Is it wrong?
Stop before you install it. Compare size, connector layout and mounting points against the board you removed, then send us a photo of the board you removed with all of its stickers and a photo of the one that arrived.
I ordered the wrong board. What now?
Leave the bag sealed and contact us first. An exchange is the fastest path, since opened or installed boards may carry a restocking fee.
Does the DA94-06792D need programming or setup after install?
No programming is on record for this board. Fit it, reconnect every harness, and give the refrigerator several hours before you judge the cooling. Any board that has been flashed, reprogrammed, or had its firmware altered is not eligible for return or warranty coverage.
Is DA94-06792D the same board as DA94-06792A or DA94-06792J?
These are related boards that share a base board number but are built for different production runs. Match your own sticker character for character rather than assuming a sibling number fits.
My Samsung fridge is completely dead. Is it this board?
Check the outlet and the cord first. If power is live and nothing inside responds, the board is a strong candidate, and the checks above take only a few minutes.
