1 Worst refrigerator ever

This refrigerator does everything a refrigerator should NOT -It does not make food easily accessible since it has a locking mechanism that will randomly activate and lock you out -It does not keep your food fresh because an internal stable temperature cannot be maintained AND if the external temperature of the fridge changes, the internal temperature of the fridge will NOT be maintained in spite of increasing it -The humidity controls of the bottom fruit and vegetable crisper drawers do not make any difference and food rots -The top crisper directly beneath the freezer freezes meat and cheese and causes it to spoil -Food that remains on the shelves between the crispers spoils too, for example, fresh yogurt will have a solid consistency when you place it in the fridge and within hours, the yogurt has a whipped consistency, CLEARLY indicating that the internal temperature of the refrigerator is NOT being maintained -Food stored in the freezer gets freezer-burned more quickly than it should so another area where food spoils -The refrigerator beeps if the door is open for too long because the internal temperature has to be maintained but the beeping is beyond frustrating because even if you respect the timer the temperature CANNOT BE MAINTAINED So basically, if you want to buy a fridge, then buy a bunch of food, then put it in your fridge, and never open the door again, then this fridge is for you! This fridge should be taken off the market as it has failed abysmally in doing what it is designed to do: providing access to fresh food whenever.

1 Horrible Fridge

An absolute piece of junk ! I bought this Samsung refridgerator on March of 2018 against the advice of my local go-to repair dealer who warned me to stay away from all Samsung refrigerators. I purchased the 2 year extended warranty option. Exactly 1 month and several days after the warranty expired this Samsung refrigerator failed. It was almost impossible to find any appliance repair depots to even agree to look at a Samsung refrigerator repair. After spending $100.00 and waiting many days for an appointment with a Samsung's exclusive repair agent, the "repair" agent showed up, took a quick look and in barely distinguishable broken English uttered one word: "UNREPAIRABLE". Apparently this lemon developed an unrepairable leak and I was out over $1000.00 after only 3 years on a total piece of junk which I had to pay to get hauled away. STAY FAR AWAY FROM ANY SAMSUNG REFRIGERATOR or you will get burned !!

1 annoying

Fridge was only months old when I bought it with my new to me home. Worked ok until today when it was moved 10 feet so I could have a new kitchen installed. Now the door alarm beeps x10, then goes off, then starts again. Out of warranty, of course!! If it is so fragile it falls apart when moved 10 feet then it does not even deserve a 1 star rating.

5 CONFUSED ABOUT BAD REVIEWS

We have had nothing but very noisy fridges until this fridge. This has to be the quietest fridge i have ever seen. Even when first plugged in when its working the hardest i had to put my ear up to the fridge to see if it was even running. I have never heard it turn on or off....soooo happy. Now layout is a bit bad but we found by taking one shelf out you can fit everything just fine. My favorite feature is jugs of milk fit on the door...love that big time. Also really like having light in freezer never had that before. All these people complaining I really don't get it. My advice with all major purchases is ALWAYS GET EXTENDED WARRENTY

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

4 Great features!

We bought our refrigerator about a month ago now and we are very happy with it. Love the light in the freezer and also the pantry space. Just wished that we had just a tad more space to put items like bottles on the shelves.

5 It worked so well I bought another

I have had one for 4 years and I love it. I always wanted an all fridge and with this you can do that or flex it for a freezer. In one home I use just all fridge and in my 2nd home we do both freezer and fridge. love it...Love the steam line look and it is just the right size.

1 A never ending noise

First of all, I usually don't write review, especially negative one, but honestly if you buy this fridge get an external warranty, there is this noise that never stop, and costumer service, will send you from chat to email and so on.

3 The optional auto icemaker is difficult to connect

I bought this refrigerator together with the auto icemaker. However no waterline or tube is provided. I have called the vendor and they are unable to help me to connect the waterline from the kitchen water hose as the original water tube connecting with the freezer of the fridge is not provided. The tube has to connect from the top of the fridge which is different than other models. I have a hard time to find the hardware and ended up giving up the auto ice making function.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
