Q: Why am i being told that removing the doors to get the unit into the house voids the warranty?
A: we followed the directions your 800# rep gave us, still have the error. Samsung will not come look at the brand new machine. 3 representatives from your company repeatedly told me that we voided the warranty when we removed the doors. Unit is being picked up and we are getting our money back. We will not purchase samsung products again.
Q: Cubed ice has Crushed ice in it.
A: Ours is the same way. I am not impressed at all with their ice maker...
Q: What are the differences between this model and model RF263TEAESR featured at Lowe's?
A: The RF263BEAESR has a single icemaker in the refrigerator compartment that supplies ice through the dispenser in the door; the RF263TEAESR is a Dual Ice model with a second icemaker in the freezer. Both models feature Samsung's signature Twin Cooling Plus system along with HE LED lighting throughout, and the independently-controlled Cool Select Pantry Drawer in the fridge. Thanks for your interest in Samsung! Ms. Samsung
Q: How do I clear error codes 21E and 22E
A: Hi Bubba! You can read over the information in this link (https://bit.ly/2IN1rxN) for what to do when your refrigerator has an error code. ^Jecca
Q: How far do the doors have to open to be able to pull out the deli drawer?
A: A 90° angle would provide the greatest access to items in the crisper drawer. Given the shape of the doors and handles, 2-3" is the minimum clearance you would need between the RF263BEAESR and the wall in order to access the drawer. Thanks for the question, Ms. Samsung
Q: Can you remove the handles from the doors?
A: Thanks for your interest in the RF263BEAESR. This model comes with the handles detached; you'll need a 3/16" (5mm) Allen wrench to install them. Instructions for attaching the handles and removing/reattaching the doors and drawer, if necessary, can be found in the User Manual which can be downloaded in advance as a pdf file from Samsung's website. - Ms. Samsung
Q: Where is depth width height listed when shopping for refrig
A: Thanks for your interest in the RF263BEAESR. The dimensions, which are also listed under the specifications tab, are 35-3/4" wide by 68-5/8" high without the hinges (70" with them) by 33-1/4" deep with the doors but without handles. The depth with the handles is 35-5/8", and the case depth is 29-1/4". - Ms. Samsung
Q: Middle strip between the two doors does not operate properly.
A: Look to see that the plastic at the top of the middle seal isnt broken, there should be a nub stickin up that runs through the track at the top of door!!!

Customers are saying
Customers are enthusiastic about the spaciousness, adjustable shelves, design, and fingerprint-resistant feature of the refrigerator. They appreciate the ample storage space, flexibility in organizing the shelves, and stylish appearance. The fingerprint-resistant feature is also well-received. However, customers have concerns about the ice maker, noise, and water leakage. The ice maker seems to be unreliable and prone to breaking down, while the noise level and water leakage issues have also been reported.

Love this Fridge!
My husband and I have been looking at this fridge for "2" years (he doesn't like to rush into anything) and I have to say, with all the research we've done, looked at all specifications, spoken with friends and family about their fridge, what they liked and didn't like, I was thrilled when we FINALLY purchased this fridge. It keeps the food perfectly chilled, I love how the drawers for the veggies are right at my fingertips. Ice, there's tons of it. TONS of space in the freezer and the style is wonderful. My only concern were the fingerprints but when you use "Barkeepers Friend" as a cleanser, it's amazing! Many don't realize that when the film is peeled away, there is still residue on the fridge and noting will take it off, this is why there are fingerprints, but when you use "Barkeepers Friend", the fridge just sparkles! You can actually see the grain in the stainless steel, absolutely amazing! So besides the fridge being energy efficient, large inside, (love the blue lights) great size freezer and now sparkly from "Barkeepers Friend" it is everything we thought it was going to be. It may have taken us 2 years to purchase this fridge, but all the reviews, research and hours of comparison was worth it. I would recommend Samsung to everyone.

Initially purchased a lemon; received replacement
I initially purchased my refrigerator in June 2016, by September 2016 I noticed water under the Cool Select Pantry Tray. Apparently, water had built up over weeks. Although, I think the refrigerator is nice overall, I'm highly disappointed that Samsung would select just a horrible repair center (Nisi) for the Houston area. They were unresponsive and was never able to accommodate me with a date for repair. Months later I was able to get BestBuy's Geek Squad to come out for repair. It turned out that the water was leaking from the inside wall of the fridge which was unrepairable. Has anyone else had this problem?? I know have my second replacement as of February 2017 and it seems to be working fine. (yes, I dealt with cleaning water weekly due to the issues with the local repair center). The amount of water accumulated over a weeks time was about two large bowls. Yikes! I was not able to find any similar issues with this model, so I opted to receive the same model as my replacement. I can only hope that this was a one off issue.

This is one sexy fridge!
My wife and I couldn't be happier about purchasing this fridge. It runs super quiet, has plenty of space to store anything we want, and it looks great. At first we though we wouldn't use half the features it came with, but now we use every one of them. I'm not going to go into detail because this is a review, but the ones that stand out for me are being able to adjust the temperature and the water filter couldn't be any easier to replace. The fridge has become known as the "Sexy A** Fridge" among our friends and is differently the focal point in our kitchen.
