Q: Is the stainless steel finger print resistant?

A: Yes it is. I purchased it this weekend and when in the store, I saw some reviews where folks mentioned the fridge being a finger-print magnet. I imagine they were referring to the regular stainless steel one because I ran my fingers all over the front of the display unit and I couldn't get a single smudge to show.

Q: Just bought this Samsung unit and so far very happy with performance. Question on the ice maker - Does the ice maker have a sensor that tells it not to make more ice cubes when bucket is full? On my prior fridge there was a lever to stop the ice maker.

A: Great question! The ice maker does have a sensor that will pause ice production if the bucket is full. You also have the option to manually turn off the ice maker from the control panel. ^Jecca

Q: Can the doors be fitted to swing open to the left instead of the right on the 21.1 cu. ft. , top freezer refrigerator- stainless model?

A: Thanks for asking, Squeek! The doors are able to be reversed on this model refrigerator. You can even find step by step instructions beginning on page 35 of the User Manual. ^Jecca

Q: Can this refrig be purchased cheaper without the ice maker, as I want this for a garage

A: It can be purchased without the ice maker just not sure you can get it from Best Buy without the ice maker...

Q: where would I be able to see the dimensions for this refrigerator?

A: Hi, lihahn, the dimensions are with hinges, handles, and doors (WxHxD) 32 7/8" x 67 3/4" x 31 7/8". ^Rosi

Q: Is the 1" clearance on top necessary? Can I go with 0.5"?

A: There is no required top clearance.

Q: I've e only had this fridge for a couple of months and it is SO noisy why with the latest technology is this the case. Yesterday I thought a helicopter was flying over our house turns out it is our new refrigerator!! I don't have the ice maker hooked.

A: You must have a lemon! We've had ours for a month. Ultra quiet. Ditto for the icemaker. Every now and then I'll hear ice plop into the container. We got the 21.1 cu. ft. model. Very pleased with our purchase so far.

    So far happy with our purchase

    I was a little nervous about purchasing a Samsung refrigerator because Consumer Reports gave Samsung a low rate for their refrigerators. Unfortunately, I needed a refrigerator and this one was available without waiting and the customer service person at Best Buy assured me the problem was with the bigger Samsung refrigerators and NOT those with just the freezer on top. Since our refrigerator was no longer working I decided to trust the guy at Best Buy and get the Samsung as it kind of made sense to me that those huge refrigerators would be a bigger problem. So far I am happy with our purchase, the refrigerator is so quite the first few nights it was difficult to sleep because we could not hear the rubble of our old refrigerator. The room inside the freezer is nice and the door will make a ding noise if the door is open too long. The Samsung looks nice and I’m glad it is fingerprint resistant. I did think this refrigerator was more pricey than comparable refrigerators with the freezer on top. Originally I was looking for an LG freezer on top refrigerator and the prices were much better and Consumer Reports gave LG a much higher rating than the Samsung, unfortunately everywhere I looked LG was on backorder and there was a 4 month wait at some places for that refrigerator.

    I like the way its silent and doesn't make noise. I also like how it has alot of space inside. I also like the feature where you can convert your freezer into fridge.

    Deep dark fridge, short shelf height

    I have now owned this fridge for a bit more than 2 years. As far as cooling goes, this does the job. No complaints about the freezer. I don't use the ice maker. Fingerprint resistance is nice. As for the refrigerator design though - I am far from happy. The bottom plastic door shelf cracked and broke. Because the "slide and reach pantry" extends the full width of the fridge, there is not as much height allowed for shelving. Tall heavy things (like a gallon milk jug) need to go in a door shelf - which as I mentioned, broke. If we adjust the shelves to allow for a milk jug, it makes the other shelves too short to be useful - the shelves are already close together, and the light is in the very front so the back is DARK, items are not easily seen or accessible. (The light is in the center ceiling in our old fridge and lights up the shelves so much better.) We are removing the slide and reach pantry to make room for taller things, and will just use our own bin for deli items. I would not purchase this again.
