    • Dual Evaporation: false (A cooling system that works to create a stable climate for the refrigerator and freezer separately.

Defrosting is necessary to maintain its efficiency and each type has its own advantages depending on user needs and preferences. Manual defrost appliances require unplugging to melt ice naturally, but offer more space, lower energy consumption, and lower cost without the internal heating element. Frost-free appliances regulate temperature to prevent ice build-up automatically. Automatic defrost systems use a timer to circulate heat and prevent ice accumulation, while adaptive defrost systems use sensors to determine the optimal times for heat circulation.)

Q: Is this made in the USA? I find all the China appliances are terrible. They cut every corner possible. My Samsung’s ice machine is in the fridge side not the freezer. So of course it broke about a year and repair is over $500. I’d like to know for sure!
