I will NEVER buy a SAMSUNG FRENCH DOOR Refrigerator again
on May 19, 2014
Posted by: SusaninPBGFL
from FL
Expertise:Expert
The fridge has been a dog: water/ice dispenser wouldn't stop dispensing (all over the floor) unless you opened the door (fixed under warranty); problem with center flap which doesn't always close properly so the seal is bad; ice maker stopped making ice but the reset button fixed the problem for a few weeks, and then ice maker died again. We were about to buy a new fridge and the ice maker mysteriously started making ice again. After leaving the UNIT on for a month vacation, returned home to find the freezer compartment was frozen but the fridge section was 60 degrees. Turned out the fridge section had iced up, and was repaired under warranty.
Cons: Poor quality
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Disappointed with this product

My previous refrigerator worked perfectly well for 15 years. I "upgraded" it and I am extremely disappointed with this Samsung fridge. In less than 3 years of use is already giving me problems with the ice bucket and the panel on the door. I would never recommend this fridge model to anybody.
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi LN2000!
Thank you for reaching out to us. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience if there is an issue with the ice bucket and door panel on your Samsung Refrigerator. The experience is not what we expect from our customers. Your feedback helps to understand where we can take steps to improve our product and service.
Here is a link to "Refrigerator Panel or Touch Screen is not Working": https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01202605/.
I also shared the link "Ice Bucket is Stuck or has a Block of Ice": https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01001791/.
You may also refer to the user manual about Maintaining the Ice Bucket on page 19 and Using Control Panel on pages 16-17: https://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201904/20190418151238039/DA68-02601A-16_181008.pdf.
Should you need more assistance, please feel free to get back to us via the following options:
The good points: the freezer is roomy and I like the extra drawer in the fridge, except it's slightly inconvenient that both of the upper doors must be wide open to use it. I don't know how you could get around that, though. It helps organize. The water filter is easy to change. The control panel is fairly easy to use and I like the LED lighting inside. Things I don't care for: it's a noisy refrigerator. Sometimes it sounds like a helicopter is hovering over the house then I realize it's the refrigerator. The ice maker bin is virtually impossible to empty (I have to have a friend help me get the bin out) and using the door dispenser is less than optimal because at first it spits out water and frost, then the ice comes, reluctantly. The stainless front is very difficult to keep clean, and to clean. It never really looks good although I am using a stainless cleaner that has been highly recommended. It did not come with a cover for the wheels which are an unattractive white plastic, so from across the room they were clearly visible, which detracted from the aesthetic appeal. I wouldn't buy this refrigerator again.
Pros: french door design
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

ice maker doesn't produce large amounts of ice like advertised
on November 29, 2015
Posted by: VK123
from Allentown PA
I bought this refrigerator in July and I am very dissatisfied with it. I wish I could return it. I hoped I would get use to it but the ice maker is slow and I run out of ice by mid day. With a family we go through the ice, and right now there are only two of us and we run out all the time. There is nothing worse than an empty ice tray. I have to buy ice when we know there will be guests or our family home on the weekends. The left door is a waste of space because there shelves are not functional except for maybe drink boxes. The ice maker takes up a great deal of space in the door itself. The freezer door doesn't open far enough to see what you have in the top basket. I would of liked it more if it could pull out a few inches more. This was and is a waste of my money. I don't recommend this fridge for any family or anyone. Now I'm stuck with it till it breaks down and I kind of hope that will be soon..
Cons: Did not meet expectations, bad ice maker, dysfunctional left side door, freezer door doesn't open far enough
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very Noisy
on December 18, 2014
Posted by: MarshallB

Expertise:Intermediate
I purchased this refrigerator in September 2014 because it looked good and had the features that we were looking for. We like the regrigerator but it is very noisy, it sounds like a train is in my kitchen. It goes through several phases throughout the day and approximately 4 -5 times a day it runs so loud I can not hear the TV that I have in the Kitchen.
If I could have listened to the refrigerator in the store prior to purchasing it, I would not have bought this appliance.
I would not recommend this refrigerator if you are going to put it in your kitchen. It is more appropriate for a garage or basement.
Pros: style, shelves, capacity
Cons: Did not meet expectations, very noisy
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
