“What is the difference between the Samsung "Auto/Cycle Defrost" and the more familiar "Frost Free?' What is the difference between "Auto/Cycle Defrost" type and the more familiar "Frost Free?" Do they both automatically keep both the freezer & the refrigerator frost-free, or do you have to perform some manual actions to get rid of the frost build-up?”

Thanks for your interest in the RF261BEAESR. The term "Auto/Cycle Defrost" is a more accurate description of what happens in a typical "frost free" freezer. When moist air enters the freezer each time the door or drawer is opened, it can form frost as it comes in contact with the freezing surfaces. A "frost free" freezer, including those in all current Samsung models, has heaters in the walls that cycle on to prevent the frost from building up, which usually does not require any manual action. Keep in mind, however, that if the air in your home is very humid, and the freezer is opened frequently allowing this air inside, frost may occasionally form on the unheated surfaces or packages. This is not unique to Samsung. - Ms. Samsung
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.With the frost free, there is no need to ever clean the ice off the sides.
