Q: Does Samsung aware of the water dispenser problem with this model, as described in two reviews?

A: They are now and Samsung will send a tech out to replace the "upgrade" for this model (not) with a part used on all other Samsung refrigerators. It took them maybe 20 minutes and my water has been working for a week now, I am cautiously optimistic. Don't bother with Geek Squad, go directly to Samsung if you choose to keep the fridge.

Q: is this a new model?

A: Yes and of 11 reviews, 10 of them mention no working water dispenser. Don't buy this refrigerator.

Q: does ice maker shut off automatically when full

A: No it doesn't even fill up i will be calling on that issue

Q: Has Samsung discovered the root cause and initiated any corrective actions in response to the alleged manufacturing defects regarding the water dispenser malfunction? IMO this is a trend that should have been picked up by their quality system by now.

A: Not sure if they have fixed it or not… But they got to be aware of it…. A tech told me that for such a high quality fridge that 90% of the water dispenser problem is just the water line entering the back has around a foot or so of it is freezing. They need to just insulate at least that section of it.

Q: Is this LG model (# LFDS22520S) front magnetic?

A: Yes the Samsung 22 cu ft refrigerator is magnetic on the front.

Q: How do the top doors open? no handles, no openings anywhere?

A: There is a recess in the top of each door for opening.

Q: How do you turn the icemaker off?

A: Hello PJY, you can turn the ice maker feature on/off by pressing the ice maker icon. Directions for this feature can be found in the user manual on page 37 (https://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/202108/20210817065517093/FDR_RF4500A_DA68-02657D-00_EN_MES_CFR_2007.pdf). Thank you for choosing Samsung for your home. ^Lena

Q: I’m interested in buying this fridge but I’m afraid of having the water dispenser problem. Has Samsung resolved this problem?

A: Run away!!! The installer just left my house this afternoon, after installing my second Samsung unit and NO the water problem isn't fixed. The refrigerator would be awesome if they could get it right, but apparently they can't.

    Samsung's Best Refrigerator for Tight Spaces!

    I absolutely love this Samsung refrigerator. We had a very tight space to fit, and this fit perfectly, while still being quite deep and spacious. The features are fantastic. I really like switching from a top door freezer to a bottom drawer freezer. Its so much better. I even got it on sale. Great purchase experience. Thanks, Best Buy!

    Enjoying new fridge.

    We are very happy with our new fridge. It is working well so far. Plenty of room for two people in the household. Only thing was when delivered they informed us they could not touch copper line running to fridge. We had no prior knowledge. Fortunately we had a plumber nearby to handle the disconnect and reconnect. Happy to have replaced our 15+ year old fridge which had problem woth leaking filter.
