  • QuestionDo the refrigerator and freezer units stop cooling or shut down if the freezer door is left slightly ajar?

    Asked by Sunshine1234.

    • Answer Glad you asked, Sunshine1234. Let us go ahead and get you some details about the fridge. After looking into the manual for the fridge, there is no information about any feature that turns off the cooling capability of the fridge or the freezer when the door is ajar. Leaving the door ajar can cause frost from the condensation when the hot air from the outside meets the cold air within. Also, the fridge has a door alarm feature which is triggered if the fridge door or freeezer drawer. Please see the links for more details.

  • QuestionDoes the ice maker shut off when the bin is full

    Asked by John.

    This question was asked about the related product: Samsung - 17.5 cu. ft. 3-Door French Door Counter Depth Smart Refrigerator with Twin Cooling Plus - Stainless Steel Look

    • Answer Hi John, Thank you for reaching out to ask if the ice maker shuts off when the bin is full. Yes, the 3-Door French Door refrigerators are equipped with an Automatic Ice Maker that automatically stops producing ice when the bin is full. The ice maker produces 8 cubes per cycle, generating approximately 100–130 cubes within a 24‑hour period, depending on factors such as freezer temperature, ambient room temperature, frequency of door openings, and overall usage conditions. For additional details about the Automatic Ice Maker, you may refer to page 43 of the user manual under “Special Features” using the link below: https://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/202601/20260116191416412/DA68-04756D-01_FDR_RF5000A_EN_MES_CFR_251216.pdf For your records, your Samsung reference number is 1152230911.
