Samsung ME16A4021A microwave filters and roller ring
Samsung's official support article 'Checking the parts: ME16A4021A*' lists original supplied identifiers: roller guide ring DE92-90495C, two grease filters DE63-00666A, and charcoal filter DE63-30016H. Samsung also labels DE63-00624A as the glass tray in the support article and links to SamsungParts. The linked SamsungParts page currently titles the item 'Refrigerator Cooking Tray' (its body also mentions microwave compatibility), a material category contradiction. DE63-00624A is therefore held as a part: this record makes no tray purchase-fit recommendation until an authoritative exact-model source resolves the discrepancy. Samsung's U.S. catalog and model table list three /AA variants: ME16A4021AS/AA (stainless), ME16A4021AW/AA (white), and ME16A4021AB/AA (black). The other filter/ring identifiers remain original supplied-part evidence, not a guarantee of current service replacements.
Safety boundary
- Keep owner care to documented removable filters, ring, and tray. Samsung advises turning off/unplugging the microwave before charcoal-filter access; use the exact model manual for the correct access method.
- Samsung says charcoal filters are for recirculating ventilation and are not needed on models vented up or out the back; grease filters and charcoal filters have different jobs.
- Do not remove the outer cabinet or attempt internal repairs. Use an authorized Samsung service provider for internal appliance service.
Compatibility requires a direct model listing, explicit supersession, or equivalent manufacturer evidence.

Compatibility rules
- Samsung's official 'Checking the parts: ME16A4021A*' article lists roller guide ring DE92-90495C, two grease filters DE63-00666A, and charcoal filter DE63-30016H as originally supplied; the article links each identifier to SamsungParts.
- Samsung also calls DE63-00624A the family's glass tray and links it to SamsungParts. That page currently titles the item 'Refrigerator Cooking Tray' though its body mentions microwave use; the part is held and must not be promoted as a tray fit for purchase until the category/model conflict is resolved.
- Samsung's 2022 U.S. catalog lists Stainless Steel ME16A4021AS, White ME16A4021AW, and Black ME16A4021AB. Samsung's U.S. model list ties them to complete /AA codes.
- The family article documents original included parts, not current replacement/supersession chains. Check complete suffix and current exact-model lookup before purchase.
- Samsung says charcoal filtration is for recirculating exhaust; externally vented models do not need it.
Never assume
- DE63-00624A is the correct/recommended replacement glass tray for these models; it is explicitly held until the Samsung listing-category conflict is resolved.
- DE63-30016H is interchangeable with DE63-30016G or any charcoal filter for a similar Samsung model.
- The wildcard page covers models beyond the three U.S. /AA SKUs listed here.
- The charcoal filter is needed when the appliance exhausts outdoors.
- Any internal microwave cabinet, electrical, magnetron, capacitor, or high-voltage work is an owner repair.
Unambiguous original supplied identifiers in Samsung family guide
- Roller guide ring: DE92-90495C.
- Grease filters: two, DE63-00666A.
- Charcoal filter: DE63-30016H.
- Samsung's family guide links each identifier to SamsungParts. These are original supplied identifiers; check current full-model replacement listings before purchase.
Glass tray DE63-00624A: PART HELD
Samsung Support lists DE63-00624A as the ME16A4021A* Glass Tray and links to SamsungParts. The linked SamsungParts page title is 'Refrigerator Cooking Tray' while its body also refers to microwave compatibility. This material source-category conflict is unresolved.
This page does not recommend, certify, or direct purchase of DE63-00624A for any ME16A4021A model. Verify with Samsung using the full model and existing tray label, and do not substitute another tray by appearance or diameter alone.
Exact U.S. color variants and care boundary
- ME16A4021AS/AA — stainless steel; ME16A4021AW/AA — white; ME16A4021AB/AA — black.
- Samsung says charcoal filters are for recirculating ventilation and not needed for external exhaust. Power should be turned off before charcoal-filter access; use the exact model manual for procedure.
