Description
Features
24.6 cu. ft. capacity
This fridge has 5 spill-proof, tempered-glass shelves, 2 humidity-controlled crispers for fruits and vegetables, and 3 gallon bins.
Twin Cooling Plus™
Keep the fridge humid and the freezer dry. Fruits and veggies stay fresher for longer in higher levels of humidity, and frozen foods avoid freezer burn and taste better when they’re kept dry.
CoolSelect Pantry™
Chill deli items, appetizers and snacks in this controlled space. Or defrost items at an optimal temperature. Plus, everything will be right within reach when you need it.
High-efficiency LED lighting
Don’t worry about excess heat and glare. The gentle LED tower lighting brightens the interior of the fridge without wasting energy or space. Plus, a door alarm will alert you if the door is left open.
Freezer drawer
The auto pull-out freezer drawer has an EZ-Open handle and divider, so you can organize frozen foods your way.
Ice Master
Use up to 10 lbs. of crushed or cubed ice per day, and grab a drink from the external filtered water and ice dispenser. The ice maker sits in a small corner of the fridge, leaving plenty of room for all your groceries.
Water filter
The HAF-CIN/EXP filter provides fresh, clean water for up to 6 months. Its convenient position makes it easy to change when the water filter life indicator alerts you.
Magnetic Finish
Now you don’t have to choose between Samsung refrigeration innovation and showcasing your artwork and reminders.

Initially purchased a lemon; received replacement
|Posted .I initially purchased my refrigerator in June 2016, by September 2016 I noticed water under the Cool Select Pantry Tray. Apparently, water had built up over weeks. Although, I think the refrigerator is nice overall, I'm highly disappointed that Samsung would select just a horrible repair center (Nisi) for the Houston area. They were unresponsive and was never able to accommodate me with a date for repair. Months later I was able to get BestBuy's Geek Squad to come out for repair. It turned out that the water was leaking from the inside wall of the fridge which was unrepairable. Has anyone else had this problem?? I know have my second replacement as of February 2017 and it seems to be working fine. (yes, I dealt with cleaning water weekly due to the issues with the local repair center). The amount of water accumulated over a weeks time was about two large bowls. Yikes! I was not able to find any similar issues with this model, so I opted to receive the same model as my replacement. I can only hope that this was a one off issue.

Love it but have had it for only 2 wks
|Posted .Everything about it works great, ice and water does not go everywhere when dispenses, ice a tad slow, water fast and even seems cold. I can see everything at a glance, plenty of room. Like the freezer in bottom. A++ so far, have had it only about 3 wks. Ask me again in a few yrs.

Met all our expectations
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Works exactly as described. The water tastes better than my faucets, the ice is continent, and there is plenty of space for all my storage. If I had to complain about anything it would be the limited space around the ice dispenser. However, I happily traded it for the convenience of fresh cooled water and ice.

Problems
|Posted .I started having problems with the freezer after a year. Freezer frosts up and prevents ice from being made, compartment gets frozen shut. I have gone from chiseling it to now using a blow dryer to defrost it. This is happening about every 2 weeks. Now its not making ice at all, even though it's defrosted. This is the second Samsung fridge I've had problems with. WILL NOT buy Samsung appliances any more. I've currently been on hold to make appt with geek squad for 25 minutes. So I'm not too happy with that right now either.

Q: QuestionWhy am i being told that removing the doors to get the unit into the house voids the warranty?We removed the door according to the manual. PC ER on the display now, Called Samsung and being told that removing doors voids warranty. On this site a Samsung reps says its ok to remove doors. What is the truth?
Asked by tammyoue.
- A:Answer we followed the directions your 800# rep gave us, still have the error. Samsung will not come look at the brand new machine. 3 representatives from your company repeatedly told me that we voided the warranty when we removed the doors. Unit is being picked up and we are getting our money back. We will not purchase samsung products again.

Q: QuestionCubed ice has Crushed ice in it.I do not use the crushed ice feature on the refrigerator but when I get my ice it has both cubed and crushed ice eventhough I only select the cubed ice. I would say it is about 80% cubed and 20% crushed. Is this normal? Should I call for service? It is not a problem for me but I just wanted to make sure something is not wrong with ice maker.

- A:Answer Ours is the same way. I am not impressed at all with their ice maker...

Q: QuestionWhat are the differences between this model and model RF263TEAESR featured at Lowe's?
Asked by JeffJab.
- A:Answer The RF263BEAESR has a single icemaker in the refrigerator compartment that supplies ice through the dispenser in the door; the RF263TEAESR is a Dual Ice model with a second icemaker in the freezer. Both models feature Samsung's signature Twin Cooling Plus system along with HE LED lighting throughout, and the independently-controlled Cool Select Pantry Drawer in the fridge. Thanks for your interest in Samsung! Ms. Samsung

Q: QuestionHow far do the doors have to open to be able to pull out the deli drawer?How far do the doors have to open to be able to pull out the deli drawer; just at a right angle to the cabinet or beyond? It would be 2-3 inches from a wall on the right side.
Asked by New homeowner.
- A:Answer A 90° angle would provide the greatest access to items in the crisper drawer. Given the shape of the doors and handles, 2-3" is the minimum clearance you would need between the RF263BEAESR and the wall in order to access the drawer. Thanks for the question, Ms. Samsung

Q: QuestionCan you remove the handles from the doors?Just need to remove handles to fit in my front door. Can we remove the handles only?
Asked by Mel.
- A:Answer Thanks for your interest in the RF263BEAESR. This model comes with the handles detached; you'll need a 3/16" (5mm) Allen wrench to install them. Instructions for attaching the handles and removing/reattaching the doors and drawer, if necessary, can be found in the User Manual which can be downloaded in advance as a pdf file from Samsung's website. - Ms. Samsung
