Fridge stopped working after 2 weeks
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The fridge broke after 2 weeks. The compressor just stopped. Best buy directed me to Samsung whose brilliant idea was to unplug the fridge and see if it works after plugging it back in. We'll that worked and 2 weeks later it happened again. First, samsung said it would replace it if that happened again but now they're spending it a 3rd party tech. I have tons of samsung products but this is the last appliance I'll ever buy from again.

Don’t buy.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don’t buy whatever you do. First one lasted 13 months. First the freezer went then the whole fridge. Lost $600 in food. Finally got a replacement- was happy to finally have groceries for the first time in 1.5 months- replacement broke within 1 week. I cannot even begin to tell you the amount of stress, money in take out, unhealthy food this fridge has put on my family. I feel dumb for replacing w the same model.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendHaunted Fridge! EEK!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This fridge is clearly haunted. It keeps beeping at me if it gets left open for too long. It wants to plan my meals. It sends me notices through my phone. It tells me to perform unspeakable evils. Other than that, solid fridge. the freezer is a little small, but it's not too bad.

||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a nice refrigerator but, the ice maker is EXTREMELY noisy and the ice falls on the floor when the ice bucket is full. Shouldn't there be a pan that catches the ice?
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Samsung
Posted .An ice maker is one of the necessary parts of the refrigerator that should act right, TedG. Let us assist!
A refrigerator is always quiet, even when it's new. New fridges may be louder as they settle into place. Still, noises from your ice maker or the compressor should never get so loud that it's interrupting a conversation. Please check the resources below for more information.
Understand the noises coming from your Samsung refrigerator:
https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01001032/
What noises a refrigerator makes and why:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cain2xjBCQE
If your refrigerator is beeping even when the doors are closed, it means the temperature in the fridge is too high. This could be normal in some cases, like after a power outage. Correct the cooling issue to resolve the beeping.
Cooling issues with Samsung refrigerator or freezer:
https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01001027/
Your refrigerator must be level to save energy and prevent potential cooling issues, noises, or leaks. This guide will show you how to level your fridge and make minor adjustments.
How to level your Samsung refrigerator:
https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00062321/
Samsung's ice makers are designed to stop when they're full. There are two methods for this: an optical sensor or a mechanical arm, which detects when ice has piled high enough. If your ice maker continues making ice, ice is not accumulating sufficiently to reach the sensor or component, typically because the ice bucket needs to be in the proper position.
Samsung ice maker makes too much ice:
https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01203469/
You may also check page 51 of the user manual for other solutions if the ice maker makes a buzzing sound and pages 54-55 for more information about your refrigerator's usual sounds.

Lastly, to keep your ice maker performing at its best, you'll want to ensure you keep up with preventative maintenance. I have provided a link below for reference.
