A:AnswerThe refrigerator will show a signal (in the same panel where your ice/water dispenser choices and temperature ranges are displayed) when it is time to replace the filter (refer to your manual). If that is not working, plan on replacing the filter at least every 6 months.
A:AnswerTweezers or needle nose pliers. Start at the top of the dispenser near the rear lip and work it slowly forward till you have most of the top portion off and the just peel the whole thing off slowly in one or a few pieces.
A:AnswerParts China, assembly US . Don’t buy Samsung frig. Samsung is aware of Issues with freezer and ice maker. We have friends with a another Samsung model that has same problems. It’s poor design and evidently there is a class action lawsuit that is on the books for over a year.
A:AnswerFrom setup manual: run 3 gallons of water through the system...this clears any air in the line which is the main cause of dripping. It’s weird there’s no drip tray but after running 3 big pitchers through I havent had any dripping issues.
A:AnswerWell I asked the question, and since we bought this model, I will answer my own question.
Installers said it would be 4 hours for frig and freezer to come to temp. The unit was at temp in approx 2.5-3 hours (frig at 37 degrees, freezer at zero degrees).
Ice is a different story. Installer recommended dumping first two buckets of ice so that water line would be cleared of any residue. So it was a good 24 hours before we started using ice. I will say the ice cubes are small and white. Kind of wimpy ice cubes. .
Thanks to all who answered the questions.
A:AnswerIt does not. I purchased a great clear lucite egg holder at an outlet mall. It holds 24 eggs.
It fits great underneath the extension for the ice and water mechanisms inside the fridge.
A:AnswerI have a whole house reverse osmosis system connected to mine, I feel that it is a lot faster than my previous side-by-side with a filter bypass.. My children are impatient and like the speed, they have commented as well. It may have to do with the line you have running to the fridge or the lines in the fridge becoming clogged as well.
A:AnswerIt does yes. We have ours with a 3 inch gap between one wall and the frig door. This allows the door to open close to straight out perpendicular with the wall. If you check specs on line at Samsung it will show you what is required for space and openings
A:AnswerHi BR,
There are several differences between real stainless steel and Samsung's Stainless Platinum. The key difference that many people note is that real stainless steel is usually not magnetic, so if you like to hang photos and kids' artwork on your refrigerator, you might want to choose our "Stainless Platinum" finish, which is Samsung's name for the stainless-look, because it is magnetic (the base is metal, not plastic as suggested by another community member). Also, Stainless Platinum is fingerprint-resistant and very easy to care for.
Thanks for your interest,
Ms. Samsung
A:AnswerThe RF263BEAEWW is one of the newer 2012 models, and features a redesigned control panel, new HE LED lighting (compared to standard LED in the RF267AERS, which is also very efficient) and the new Ice Master icemaker which takes up less space but produces more ice than the previous design. The Ice Master produces up to 10 pounds of ice per day under ideal conditions. The RF263BEAEWW also uses the newer slim design HAF-CIN water filter that is conveniently located between the crisper drawers. It's also important to note that the RF267AERS has a real stainless steel finish, while the RF263BEAEWW is white, though it is also available in real stainless as well as black.
Thank you for your interest,
Ms. Samsung
A:AnswerNo. I was really surprised by this. I’ve always had to wipe continuously to keep stainless steel clean. This dark stainless is so different. I love the looks of it, and even with my family of five, no smudgy fingerprints!
