Introduction
This guide shows how to remove and replace the Wi-Fi card in your Samsung RF28R7201SG refrigerator.
The Wi-Fi card resides in the top hinge cover. If your fridge has trouble connecting to the local Wi-Fi network, first make sure that the hinge cover doesn't have any metallic items placed over it (which can severely block wireless signals). If the fridge can't pick up any Wi-Fi signals, you may need to replace the Wi-Fi card.
