DA94-09287H vs DA92-01763A: Which Samsung Number Do You Order By?
Samsung prints the part number and the EEPROM revision code together on the white label. Match DA94-09287H and the 0X13 code before you order.
A later production run can carry a slightly different label layout, or a different revision such as 0X14 instead of 0X13. Size, connector layout and mounting points still need to match the board you removed. If they do not, 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 DA94-09287H 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.
On the models this board fits, the control board sits in a control box at the back of the cabinet near the compressor, behind a rear access panel. 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 DA94-09287H and check it character by character.
Samsung Refrigerator Not Cooling? Is It the DA94-09287H Board 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.
Some models show an error code on the front display. Match it against the tech sheet inside the appliance before you assume the board, since the codes are specific to your exact model.
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 number on your sticker
Read the production number on the board's white label before you do anything else. If it matches DA94-09287H, including the 0X13 code, this is your board.
Check the power at the wall
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 shorted or open sensor hands the board bad information, and that is not the board's fault. Compare each sensor reading against the wiring and test chart packed inside the appliance.
Check both fans
The evaporator and condenser fans should spin freely by hand with the power off. A dragging fan can mimic a board that will not cycle the compressor.
Look at the compressor wiring
Loose or burnt connectors at the compressor can stop cooling without the board being at fault. Check the harness for heat damage before you order a board.
Once the power, the sticker, the sensors and the fans check out, the board is what is left. You need a replacement main control board, and buying the right number the first time saves a second order. A sensor or fan that struggled for months can push extra load onto the board until it fails too. Keep a spare on the shelf and a warm fridge becomes a short repair instead of days of lost food.
How Do You Replace the DA94-09287H Samsung Refrigerator Main 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.
Unplug the refrigerator at the wall. Remove the rear lower access panel or machine-compartment cover to reach the control box.
Shoot the board with all of its wire harness connectors in place before you touch anything. This is your reinstall map.
Touch bare metal on the cabinet before handling the board. It carries EEPROM components that are sensitive to static.
The low-voltage connectors are keyed and not all interchangeable. Release each one by its latch, not by pulling the wire.
Keep the old board until the new one is confirmed working. Set the replacement in the same position.
Match every connector back to the position in your photo, then refit the cover and panel.
- ✓I photographed my board sticker and matched every character including the revision code
- ✓I shot a photo of every connector before disconnecting anything
- ✓I grounded myself before touching the new board
- ✓I matched each connector back to its original position
- ✓I confirmed my model is on the fitment list before ordering
On these boards it goes in as a straight swap. We have not seen a programming step needed on a standard replacement. Let the refrigerator run for several hours at a normal setting before you judge the result. 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 DA94-09287H Still Not Cooling After the Board Swap?
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.
Check the new board against your old one
Compare size, connector layout and mounting points against the board you removed. A mismatch means you may have the wrong part for your model.
Recheck every connector
A connector pushed in one position off acts exactly like a dead board. Match each one to your photo again.
Go back to the temperature sensors
A sensor that was stuck open or shorted hands the new board the same bad reading it gave the old one.
Confirm the fans spin freely
A dragging evaporator or condenser fan still blocks normal cooling with a good board installed.
Give it time before judging
Let the refrigerator run several hours at a normal setting. Cooling performance can take time to stabilize after a board swap.
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 DA94-09287H Control Board Last?
Surge protection
A power outage, lightning strike or a generator changeover sends a spike straight through the board. Short repeated outages are harder on it than one long one.
Keep the compartment clean
Dust and lint around the compressor and control box make the system run hotter and longer. Clean the area while the panel is off.
Check for moisture
A clogged drain or a leaking water line can put moisture into the control box. Wipe the area dry and look for staining before you close it up.
What Else Is Worth Checking While the Panel Is Off?
Temperature sensors Do it now
Inexpensive and already exposed once the control box is open. A worn sensor can make a good board look faulty.
Evaporator and condenser fans If noisy
A fan with a worn bearing runs hot and works the board harder. Replace a noisy one while you are in there.
Defrost components On frost
Behind the same panels on many of these models. Worth a look if you noticed frost buildup before the swap.
Wire harness connectors Quick check
Keyed connectors can loosen over time. Check each one for a snug fit before you close the panel.

What Else Do People Ask About the DA94-09287H?
Why does searching DA94-09287H bring up so little?
Samsung has not issued a separate service number for this board, so the production number on the sticker is the only number to search. Match DA94-09287H and the 0X13 revision code exactly, since a close relative, DA94-09287Q with 0X14, is a different revision.
What ships in the box with the DA94-09287H?
The box holds the DA94-09287H board and the paperwork you need to register it. Match the sticker number before you install anything.
My replacement board looks different from the one I took out. Is it wrong?
Stop and compare size, connector layout and mounting points against the board you removed. If something seems off, send us both photos, the one you removed with its stickers and the one that arrived, and we will confirm before you go further.
I ordered the wrong board. What now?
Keep the bag sealed and reach out to us before you install anything. An exchange is the fastest path once we confirm the correct DA94-09287H for your model.
Does the DA94-09287H need programming after I install it?
On these boards it goes in as a straight swap. Give the refrigerator several hours at a normal setting before you judge the result. Any board that has been flashed, reprogrammed, or had its firmware altered is not eligible for return or warranty coverage.
My refrigerator shows an error code. Does that mean the board failed?
Not necessarily. Match the code against the tech sheet packed inside the appliance before you assume the board is at fault.
Does this board fit every Samsung French Door refrigerator?
No. It is confirmed and reported on a limited number of RF29 models. Match the sticker on your old board against your model and serial number before you order.
