A:Answer Thanks for your interest. Key differences between these two models include the overall capacity and the icemaker design. The 29 cubic foot RFG296HDRS features Samsung's Dual Icemaker which can produce up to 10.1 lbs of ice per day under ideal conditions using both the upper and lower icemaker. The 32 cubic foot RF323TEDBSR features the upgraded IceMaster icemaker in the refrigerator compartment which can make up to 10 lbs of ice per day on its own; when both the upper and lower icemakers are in use, the combined total production is approximately 11.8 lbs.
The RF323TEDBSR owes its larger overall storage capacity to a variety of design changes compared to the earlier model, including the more compact size of the icemaker and the slightly greater depth of the case. The overall depth of the RF323TEDBSR case is 30-7/8" compared to 29-1/4" for the case of the RFG296HDRS. The upgraded model also includes the independently-controlled Cool Select Pantry Drawer in the fridge.
These two models have a lot in common, as well. Both feature Samsung's signature Twin Cooling Plus which helps keep food fresh longer, and efficient LED lighting, which is actually upgraded to the more efficient HE LED in the RF323TEDBSR.
