Thanks for your interest in the RH22H9010SR. It's fine to fill the ice bin with bagged ice and dispense it through the door. Be sure to turn the ice maker off by pressing the Ice Maker Off button on the control panel if you aren't connecting the refrigerator to a water supply. This will prevent the sounds associated with the ice maker attempting to draw water to make ice. - Ms. Samsung
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I haven't tried this but it seems to me that it would work. There is a place that the ice is stored so as long as it is separated and not clumped together, I would think it could be dispensed through the door.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes! Just pour some in like any other refrigerator!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you can pour ice into the ice storage bin and dispense it through the door. I took out the ice that the fridge had produced into an ice bucket and returned the surplus back into the storage bin without any problems showing up. However, the manufacturer (Samsung) probably frowns on this, as the bought ice or ice from another fridge may be harder than the fridge ice and may damage the ice crushing mechanism. We got a plumber to run a tubing from our reverse osmosis kit to a fridge in the garage, some years ago, for a low charge of $50. My point is you can get water to your fridge for a nominal investment.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It is not advisable according to Samsung, but you can do it. If you like crushed ice in particular, this would be a good workaround.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Probably not in store-bought bags. If you bought some trays and made your own ice it would probably work. The ice it produces is about 2 inches long by 1/2 inch wide by 1 inch tall. If you used the crushed ice feature you might be able to use store bought ice since it would break it up. trays would be cheaper and more convenient though, as the bin only holds a small amount of ice at a time-- maybe 1-2 pounds, it's about the size of 4-6 soda cans.
