Why is the ice cubes so noisy when they are dumped? We have had our ref about 9 months and like it. It is a french door ref . When the ref dumps the ice cubes it makes a fairly loud noise. Everything works fine, except for the ice dumping. Never had this before with a ref. Thanks

Thanks for the question. If the ice bucket is empty, it is likely to make more noise when the ice dumps from the trays than if it's full, or even half full. To minimize the noise, it may help to maintain some ice in the bucket to help "break the fall" as new cubes are harvested. If this doesn't muffle the noise enough, you can also turn the ice maker off when you're at home or in close proximity to the fridge. - Ms. Samsung

I have this same fridge and when we dispense ice cubes, it does make the normal noise of dispensing ice cubes....but nothing that I would describe as fairly loud. You may want to get it checked out.
