Defrosting is necessary to maintain its efficiency and each type has its own advantages depending on user needs and preferences. Manual defrost appliances require unplugging to melt ice naturally, but offer more space, lower energy consumption, and lower cost without the internal heating element. Frost-free appliances regulate temperature to prevent ice build-up automatically. Automatic defrost systems use a timer to circulate heat and prevent ice accumulation, while adaptive defrost systems use sensors to determine the optimal times for heat circulation.)

A: Thanks for the responses. I went to the store to measure the doors, and I measured that they each need 1" extra clearance beyond the 32 1/8" width of the fridge to accommodate the hinge mechanism when open. But, Samsung sent a link to the manual and referred me to page 18, where the measurement I was looking for is #6 (I think). There, it says that each door hinge requires 1 1/4" clearance. In my kitchen one door will be next to the kitchen counter, and as this is a countertop depth fridge, there should be no problem with opening the door on that side. - at worst, I can move the fridge forward a little to make sure that the door on that side can open. The other side of the fridge will be next to a wall, so I will need to make sure there is 1 1/4" clearance between the fridge and the wall on that side, to enable that door to open (only 90 degrees given the configuration of the space I have, but that is enough). The space I have for the fridge is 33 7/8" wide, so I will just make it in terms of clearance (32 1/8" for the fridge + 1 1/4" to clear the door next to the wall = 33 3/8"). Close! Wish me luck!
Q: How do you open this fridge? Where do you put your hand?
A: I'm happy to help with this, zanderka! The space between the refrigerator doors and freezer drawer is indented. This creates an overhang that can be gripped similar to a door handle, but with a clean, sleek look. ^Jecca
A: It’s not something that can be turned off. Just don’t download the SmartThings app and you’ll be fine.
A: Absolutely, mjod! Page 36 of the user manual (https://bit.ly/2RdA6NB) has step by step instructions on how to turn the ice maker off. It is important to make sure the ice maker is turned off if you are not installing a water line, as this could cause damage to the internal components. ^Jecca
A: Thanks so much for asking, Tony! This model does not use an internal water filter. However, you can install an external water filter to the water line if desired. ^Jecca
A: Thanks so much for asking, Tim! According to page 17 of the user manual (https://bit.ly/3bQbvWo) this model requires a location with a temperature range between 50 °F (10 °C) and 109 °F (43 °C). ^Jecca
A: We're sorry for the confusion, Rose! Samsung has many different size refrigerators, some of which are very similar. This specific model has a 5.8 cu. ft. freezer capacity, and 11.7 cu. ft. refrigerator capacity. This makes the total capacity 17.5 cu. ft. ^Jecca
Q: can the wheels be removed to make it less than 70" tall?
A: Greetings! We appreciate your question about removing the casters to lower the overall height of this Samsung refrigerator. The wheels on this refrigerator model are not detachable as they are used for mobility and stability (leveling). Leo
