A:AnswerYou can do it yourself. Just order a new filter. The filter is conveniently located in the front middle when you open it up. You just twist it to remove it, insert the new one and twist to lock it in place.

A:AnswerI was told by the install team, that I had to run the water for a couple gallons to reduce the air in the line. I was also told to throw away the first batch of ice - mainly because it would likely have the "new fridge" taste. I am now on my third week of ownership and I have not had any issues with the flavor or either since we performed the air bleed before use. I hate if this doesn't help - it's my experience with the unit.
A:AnswerHi The Taz Man,
Based on the measurement standards that were used until September 2014, the capacity of the RF263BEAESR was, in fact, 25.6 cu ft. As of last September, Energy Star's measurement standards were changed, resulting in the 24.6 cu ft capacity. The new standard affected many models, and in some cases the information may not have been updated. Thank you for bringing this instance to our attention.

A:AnswerHi Michael,
The control panel on the RF263BEAESR is not backlit, so the words that are printed in white on the left and right sides of the panel don't light up. However, the temperature digits and other icons on the panel do light up when the buttons are pressed.
Thanks for the question,
Ms. Samsung
A:AnswerThanks for the question. Both the RF263BEAESR and the RF263TEAESR have Samsung's signature Twin Cooling Plus cooling system. The difference between these two models is the addition of a second ice maker in the freezer compartment of the latter model.
We appreciate your interest in Samsung Refrigerators!

A:AnswerSamsung's Ice Master ice maker in the RF263BEAESR is designed to produce up to 10 lbs of ice per day, and store up to 4.2 lbs. You can maximize ice production by transferring ice from the bin to another container, selecting the Power Freeze option on the control panel, making sure the water filter is changed regularly and the incoming water pressure is sufficient.
Thanks for your interest!

A:AnswerThe 29 cubic foot RFG297HDRS uses a state of the art insulation which enables thinner walls and larger capacity despite the similar exterior dimensions as our 26 cubic foot models. Besides the difference in capacity, the newer RF263BEAESR features upgraded High Efficiency LED lighting in both the fridge and freezer, a redesigned control panel and EZ Open freezer drawer handle, and the new IceMaster icemaker which takes up less space while producing up to 10 pounds of ice per day - about 33% more than the previous design.

In addition, the upgraded slim water filter cartridge fits conveniently between the crisper drawers in the fridge to free up more room on the top shelf.
