Defrosting is necessary to maintain its efficiency and each type has its own advantages depending on user needs and preferences. Manual defrost appliances require unplugging to melt ice naturally, but offer more space, lower energy consumption, and lower cost without the internal heating element. Frost-free appliances regulate temperature to prevent ice build-up automatically. Automatic defrost systems use a timer to circulate heat and prevent ice accumulation, while adaptive defrost systems use sensors to determine the optimal times for heat circulation.)

  • Owner's manual

Q: What is the minimum width needed to ensure each door can open to 90 degrees?

A: The 32" width will allow the door hinges to clear so the doors can swing open, but not enough for the handles to clear. At the point where the handles would make contact, you would need at least 3"-4" of clearance on each side to open the doors 90 degrees. Fortunately, taking into account the 30-1/2" case depth of the Refrigerator plus the 2" recommended clearance behind it, the handles should clear both the 31" and 38" depth constraints, permitting the doors to open 90 degrees. Please keep in mind, however, that it may be necessary to pull the Refrigerator forward a bit when it's necessary to remove the bins entirely, such as to clean them, since the doors will need to be opened wider than 90 degrees. Thanks for your interest in the RF221NCTASP! Ms. Samsung

Q: Does this refrigerator have a internal water filter model # RF221NCTASP

A: Thanks for the question. The RF221NCTASP does not have an internal water filter. Instructions for attaching an external filtration system can be found in the user manual, however. We appreciate your interest in Samsung! Ms. Samsung

Q: What water filter do you use for the RF221NCTASR?

A: Thanks for the question. The RF221NCTASR does not have a built-in water filtration system, though it can be connected to an external filter as shown in the User Manual. I would suggest contacting your local Best Buy Appliance Team or a plumber for advice on selecting an external filter that will meet your needs. - Ms. Samsung

Q: So Samsung which makes the RF221NTASR can't tell me which of the water filters that they sell to use with it?

A: Thanks for the question. Samsung doesn't make a water filter kit for the RF221NCTASP, and this model does not have a built-in filtration system. Please call 888-BEST BUY or contact your local Best Buy team or plumber for assistance selecting a filtration kit that's available in your area. The User Manual for the RF221NCTASP, however, does provide instructions for attaching an external kit to the refrigerator's water line. - Ms. Samsung
