Q: What is the wifi for???

A: So what your saying is that Wi Fi on a fridge is useless. Thats what I thought. Thanks.

Q: Can we get this WITHOUT the icemaker?

A: I don't think so, but you do not have to connect it. I chose not to connect the water line and I use the bin to store ice I make with ice cube trays. It's handy.

Q: can this refrigerator be used in an unheated garage?

A: We appreciate you asking, bjl! According to page 16 of the user manual (https://bit.ly/30rAahv) this model will require a location with a temperature range between 50 °F (10 °C) and 109 °F (43 °C). ^Jecca

Q: CAN SOMEONE PLS GIVE ME (STEP BY STEP) DIRECTIONS TO DISABLE THE WI-FI ON THIS MODEL - WE DO NOT WISH TO: USE THIS FEATURE OR CONNECT TO THE APP - THANKS

A: Hello there! This model does not have an option to turn off the Wi-Fi feature. However, you do not have to connect it in order to use the standard refrigerator features. ^Jecca

Q: If the electrical power goes off and then comes back on, does this refrigerator have to be manually reset to work properly?

A: Great question, bodark! A lot would depend on how long the power is out for. Usually if the power is only out for a short time the refrigerator will keep the settings selected. However, it may revert to default settings if there is no power for an extended period of time. ^Jecca

Q: Hello, Can you please let me know the noise level in dB for this model. Refrigerator in Stainless Steel 28 CU Ft Samsung RS28A500ASR Thank you,

A: mine makes a lot of noise. I turned off the ice maker and I wonder if that's why it makes loud noise, non stop .

    Nice fridge with a couple drawbacks

    I've owned this Samsung side-by-side refrigerator for a couple months now. On the plus side, the black stainless steel is a great look and it only cost slightly more than the standard stainless steel. It is BIG, be certain to check the dimensions to make sure it will fit where it will be installed. The monitoring through the Wi-Fi app is handy as it allows changing the temps by remote and can also alert the owner when a door is opened. It's also capable of turning the ice maker on or off via the app. The built-in controls are located on the right side of the door frame and display the current status of the fridge and freezer. There are several storage bins on the inside of each of the fridge and freezer doors to allow immediate access to often used items. While not overly large, they are sufficient. Shelves are not adjustable, except for one in the freezer which is only two position. Bringing home a large frozen pizza created a problem until I positioned it diagonally on the top shelf. For some reason Samsung did not supply a bottom bin for the freezer door, although there appears to be tabs for one. The refrigerator door has bins all the way to the bottom so why it's missing on the freezer side is a mystery, it's a waste of useful storage space.

    Happy Customer, No Regrets!

    Great purchase, great price, great quality, love the design, wonderful storage capacity, temperatures are amazing, freezer temperatures are so good that you have to set things out about 10 minutes before you can eat or cook them, the shelves are nice and deep allowing you to store a lot of groceries and items, love the different areas of storage and the way it was set up and designed on the inside, love the look of the stainless steel not the usual vibrant, shiny silver look, but a more warm Calm, stainless steel look with a hint of black to it that allows it to blend better with the black appliances in my kitchen, nice and quiet and so much more I could say about it, but you get the point, I am pleased with this purchase and with this product and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. Compared to my previous refrigerator I can definitely feel the upgrade in storage capacity and it definitely upgraded the look of my older kitchen.

    Single mom - my favorite adult purchase yet :)

    So far so good :) The pics were taken immediately after delivery. I purchased this refrigerator January 2025 and love almost everything about it. The delivery was effortless with very professional delivery drivers and the refrigerator came in pristine condition. I have 5 children and the storage space is amazing. The only complaint I have is the inability to move the shelves (this was the 4 star for design). That is my fault for not checking on that though. I was worried about getting a stainless steel refrigerator due to streaking and smudging, but you have to actually have something on your fingers (like food or dirt) to leave any marks on this. It's wonderful. I love the wifi and ability to check the temps in the fridge and freezer from my phone, and having kids, getting a notice about them leaving the door open too long saves my electric bill. It runs very quietly 95% of the time. It's started making some noises in the evening, but I believe that is just the unit defrosting itself due to the steady temps and no other issues so far. All in all I am very pleased with this purchase.
