Restore the tidy appearance and full functionality of your refrigerator’s pantry drawer with this genuine OEM cover slide assembly, part number DA97-07020C, made by Samsung. This replacement component fits the pantry drawer area (also referred to as the “CoolSelect Pantry” drawer in many models) and helps maintain proper sealing, ease of access, and proper drawer motion. Because pantry-drawer covers vary by model, production year and region, please check with your maintenance technician to confirm that this part number matches your appliance’s full model number (including suffix) and that the cover slide assembly is indeed the component needing replacement.

Features & Benefits
-
OEM specification: Manufactured to Samsung’s original equipment standards for precise fit and finish. partselect.com
-
White frame finish: Matches many interior white-trim refrigerators for a cohesive appearance.
-
Restores pantry drawer functionality: A damaged or misaligned cover can cause poor drawer pull, improper sealing, or temperature inconsistencies — replacing the cover assembly helps address that. reliableparts.com
-
Cost-effective repair: Instead of replacing the entire drawer or liner, replacing only the cover slide assembly often resolves the issue at lower cost.
-
Straightforward installation: Once compatibility is confirmed, installation typically involves removing the old cover, aligning mounting tabs, and securing the new assembly.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
-
The pantry drawer cover is cracked, broken or missing sections, causing the contents to shift or not be covered properly.
-
The drawer cover does not slide smoothly, sticks, or the drawer jams upon opening/closing.
-
Warm air seems to enter the pantry drawer (or frost forms around it), indicating the seal or cover fit is compromised. iFixit
-
The cover finish is discoloured, warped or mounting tabs visibly broken—indicating structural failure.
If you observe any of these symptoms, have your maintenance technician verify that the cover slide assembly (DA97-07020C) is the correct replacement part and that no underlying drawer rail or liner damage exists.
Compatibility / Partial Model List
This part is listed as the “Pantry Drawer Cover / Cover-Slide Assembly” for Samsung refrigerators. partselect.com+1
Example compatible models (partial):
-
Samsung RF260BEAESR / AA-00 series reliableparts.com+1
-
Samsung RF263TEAESG / AA-03 reliableparts.com
-
Samsung RF266ADPN / XAA-00 reliableparts.com
Note: This is not a comprehensive list. Because pantry drawer designs, liner mouldings, hinge/rail spacing and finish colours vary by model, region and year, you must verify your appliance’s full model number (found on the service tag) and compare your existing cover assembly’s mounting geometry and finish before ordering.
Cross Reference
-
Some listings indicate the older or alternate number DA63-04615A as associated or bundled with this assembly in some inventory listings. amazon.com
-
Ensure any alternate or after-market replacement you consider references this exact OEM part number DA97-07020C (or clearly states compatibility) and that mounting hole spacing, finish and size match your existing part.
Compatibility Notes
-
Matching the entire appliance model number, including suffix letters and variant codes (e.g., “XAA”, “AA-00”), is critical—even if the old cover looks identical—because subtle differences in tab spacing or frame moulding may result in improper fit.
-
Replacing the cover slide assembly restores the drawer’s cover function only if the drawer rail, liner, and associated hardware are intact and not bent or damaged. If the underlying drawer mechanism is compromised, you may still experience fit or alignment issues.
-
Installation tip: Unplug the refrigerator or turn off circuit power for safety, empty the pantry drawer contents, remove the old cover (often by lifting out or unscrewing mounting tabs), align the new DA97-07020C cover slide assembly with the drawer rails and mounting points, secure it firmly, slide the drawer in/out to check motion and then reload the contents. After installation, inspect for proper alignment, smooth sliding action and correct sealing when closed.
