Samsung Refrigerator French Door Divider Spring Repair and Mullion Bush Fix!

**Is your Samsung Refrigerator French Door divider not working as it should? This video will show you how to replace the mullion spring and the "bush fix" to repair the broken mullion retaining sleeve. It has handy tips not seen in other videos throughout and offers closing thoughts (rationale) on why I chose to do this repair vs purchasing a new mullion or hiring an appliance service provider to make the repair.

Refrigerator Model: RF261BEAESR

**PLEASE NOTE: the mullion is plastic and can crack or break while attempting this repair. Take caution when releasing the clips. If you look at many of the "other" YouTube videos on this topic, they edit or don't show you how they open the mullion in any detail... Makes you wonder why they don't show this... right?

My bush fix is not meant to be permanent— however, it may last for a number of months or even years, which is all the original manufacturer's product lasted before being out of warranty. This bush fix hopefully will last longer than what I intend on keeping the refrigerator which has had a number of problems since purchasing in 2015. The most problematic issue includes it icing up behind the lower right crisper drawer, dripping water in the bottom cheese/meat tray, and icing up the ice cube maker rendering it useless. over the last 2 years, I've made four attempts to fix the problem all of which have fixed the symptoms for 10-14 days (including fixing the ice maker) but then it frosting/freezing up again. The refrigerator is simply not designed to function well.
