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.)

Q: Where is the water dispenser located in the refrigerator?

A: Left side on the inside. Not on the door but on near the front edge of the inside.

Q: Is there a sansung french door refridgerator that comes without the water filtration and ice maker feature?

A: Thanks for the question. All current Samsung refrigerators are designed with the option to connect to water, and have built-in icemakers; however, the icemakers can be turned off if you don't connect to water or prefer not to use it. Most also have internal water filters, though these can be removed. If you do choose to connect to water, Samsung recommends using the internal filtration system if you don't have an external system in your home, since mineral deposits or debris from the water supply could damage the fridge's water lines over time. We appreciate you considering Samsung! Ms. Samsung

Q: will the delivery people take the doors off so it will fit through the door?

A: Thanks for your interest. The doors and drawer can be removed from the RF261BEAESR for delivery through doorways as narrow as 30". Please call 888-BEST BUY or contact your local Best Buy Appliance Associates for information about what's included in the delivery. - Ms. Samsung

Q: Does 25.5 cu inches mean it's 25.5 inches wide? If not, what is the width?

A: Hi Dinah, Thanks for your interest in the RF261BEAESR. This model's storage capacity for the refrigerator and freezer combined is 25.5 cubic feet. The width is 35-3/4". - Ms. Samsung

Q: Do I need a water line installation kit with my refridgerator? It's a Samsung RF261BEAEB

A: Thanks for the question. The RF261 Refrigerator does require a water line installation kit for connecting the Refrigerator to your home's water supply in order for the internal water dispenser and automatic ice maker to function. - Ms. Samsung

Q: RF261BEAESR-Is this true stainless steel model? Which other Samsung ones are true stainless steel? What are the benefits of true stainless steel?

A: Thanks for your questions. Yes, the RF261BEAESR has a real stainless steel finish on the surface of the doors and drawer. The Best Buy website clearly states which models are real stainless steel, and which ones have other finishes which include Stainless Platinum, Black or White. Stainless steel is designed to resist rust and other stains. Customers who choose this finish are often attracted to the smooth luster and want to match other stainless steel appliances in their kitchen. Ultimately, which finish you choose really depends on your personal style preference. - Ms. Samsung

Q: Opening bottom freezer drawer

A: Of course not...that would be a waste of time and energy. All doors open separately!

Q: Is there free delivery and haul away of old fridge?

A: Currently (it's Sep 2022) it's $40 to haul away the old fridge (recycle or move to a different room), and it's $30 to install the new one (plug water pipes).
