Q: When a door is open, does the hinge mechanism cause the door to protrude out at all, so that I need more than 32 1/8 inches width? This fridge would be installed close to a wall, and I want to make sure that the door can open at least to 90 degrees.

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

Q: Hello Can the Wifi be turned off? I cannot have the wifi on or constantly looking to connect to the internet. I have an EMF issue.

A: It’s not something that can be turned off. Just don’t download the SmartThings app and you’ll be fine.

Q: Can the ice maker be shutoff so we do not need a waterline and so we do not get the noise? >. We do not want ice or water from the fridge.

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

Q: Does this refrigerator have a water filter? I can't find any information in the users manual. Thanks for your help and advice.

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

Q: Will this refrigerator work efficiently in the garage? or so called "Garage ready". I live in Southern California and it can get very hot during summer time. Thank you!

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

Q: What are the actual cubic ft. for this fridge? I have seen the same model listeded as 17.5, 18.0 and 19.0 cubic ft. Does it come in 3 different sizes?

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

    Very classy fridge

    Love this Samsung refrigerator

    I love this Samsung refrigerator/freezer, which I bought when my old refrigerator suddenly died. Sleek-looking, the French door style fits well in my narrow kitchen. It holds a surprising amount of food. The installation crew did an awe-inspiring job.

    Nice refrigerator

    I just received this refrigerator a week ago, has great features! Cools well and is very quiet. Haven’t gotten my ice maker to work yet. Only con is that I wish the shelves were more customizable. For example, you can not fit a lactaid milk 96oz in the top, middle, or bottom shelves. It must be stored on the shelves on the doors. My water jar doesn’t fit upright either, so their is limited space for larger bottles.
