Vegetable Cover Shelf Assembly
Replacement vegetable cover shelf assembly – genuine Samsung part for the fridge freezer models shown unless advised otherwise
Description
This genuine Samsung vegetable cover shelf assembly is identical to the original component fitted at the factory, officially described by Samsung as an “ASSY SHELF COVER VEG”.
This shelf sits directly above the salad crisper drawer in the fridge compartment, providing a flat storage surface while covering the drawer below and helping maintain a stable environment for fruit and vegetables. Manufactured to the original equipment specification, it offers the same sturdy glass panel, correctly moulded trim, and precise fit as the shelf originally supplied with the appliance, restoring both storage space and a neat fridge interior finish.
The shelf is designed for the Samsung fridge freezer models listed in the compatibility section below, and it may also fit models that are not shown. Because cover shelves are model-specific and several look almost identical, the safest way to confirm the correct fit is to check the full model number.
This part fits only the models shown or specifically advised and will not fit any others, even if they look the same; they probably won't, as several look alike but aren't. Please take time to ensure this is correct before ordering. If you are unsure, please contact us for assistance.

Common Faults & SymptomsThe following physical symptoms are commonly reported when a vegetable cover shelf becomes damaged or worn. Use this as a practical guide before ordering a replacement — if more than one of these is present, the shelf assembly is the likely culprit. 1
Shelf Glass Cracked or Chipped
Visible cracks or chips appear in the glass panel, often at the edges or corners. Damage can spread with temperature changes and may reduce the strength of the shelf.
2
Shelf Glass Shattered or Broken
The glass has broken into pieces or shattered, leaving the shelf unusable. Impact damage or a pre-existing chip that has spread are common causes.
3
Edge Trim Cracked or Detached
The plastic trim around the glass has cracked or come away from the panel. Without an intact trim, the shelf may not locate correctly on its supports and the glass edge is left exposed.
4
Shelf Sitting Unevenly or Wobbling
The shelf does not sit level over the crisper drawer and may rock or tilt. A warped frame or damaged locating points can prevent it resting evenly on the fridge supports.
5
Crisper Drawer Not Properly Covered
The salad drawer is left partly open or exposed because the cover shelf no longer sits correctly over it. This can affect the humidity around fresh produce and allow cold air to circulate more freely than intended.
6
Shelf Difficult to Slide In and Out
The shelf catches or is stiff when pulled forward or pushed back. Damaged edge trims or a distorted panel can interfere with the shelf runners and make access to the drawer awkward.
7
Shelf Rattling or Shifting
The shelf rattles or moves when the fridge door is opened and closed. A loose fit in the supports, often caused by damaged trim or locating tabs, can allow the shelf to shift.
8
Spills Running Down to the Drawer
Liquids and condensation drip through onto the crisper drawer below. A cracked panel or a shelf that no longer seats flush lets spills pass rather than being contained on the surface.
Fitment GuidanceThis part is compatible only with the models listed in the compatibility matrix above. Even if a cover shelf looks visually similar, the dimensions, trim profile and locating points can differ between models.
Diagnostic TipsBefore concluding that the shelf needs replacing, carry out these checks to rule out other causes.
Installation GuideThese steps describe the general procedure. The exact sequence varies between models, so always consult the appliance user manual where available.

Fridge Shelves.
Many people believe that fridge shelves are an almost universal spare part—this is most often not the case.
Model Specificity
Like most refrigeration spares, fridge shelves are very often completely unique to the model. Since they are ordered by model and part number, usually no sizing information is available. Therefore, it is absolutely vital to use your model number to avoid receiving the wrong part.
Fitting & Construction
Most shelves simply slot into the inner plastic moulding. With glass shelves, plastic trims are often bonded around the edge. While trims occasionally break, manufacturers usually supply the shelf as a complete, bonded unit. Plastic shelves are inherently weaker and susceptible to damage from heavy wine boxes or soft drink packs.
Find Your Model Number
You will almost invariably find the rating plate on the left-hand inner wall of the fridge.
IMAGES AND SIZES ARE FOR ILLUSTRATION ONLY
Parts may vary in shape and size to the images shown, as parts are model-specific and subject to change or alteration at any time without notice. This spare part will only fit the models as described in the listing unless specifically advised otherwise by us.
NOTE: Some shelves and their components can be used in different positions depending on the model. Please take care when ordering and don't rely solely on images as they can look nearly identical!

Samsung
Spare Parts.
Samsung is a global powerhouse, transitioning from dominance in consumer electronics to becoming one of the world's largest appliance brands. From their legendary American Fridge Freezers to built-in ovens and laundry, their technical ecosystem is vast and complex.
The Data "Information Gap"
Samsung's spare parts supply can be unpredictable. Official technical data is often sparse, and pricing for certain components can be highly volatile. We use our specialist networks to bridge this gap and provide accurate fitment.
Check Suitability First
Samsung parts undergo frequent design revisions mid-production. A part that looks identical may have a different internal protocol or connector. Always check suitability with our team if you aren't 100% certain.
Professional Verification
Because Samsung's own information can be poor, we manually verify requests against known successful repairs. We'd rather take the time to be correct than send a part that doesn't fit your specific revision.
