- Temperature Control Type: Digital
- Defrost Type: Frost free (Ice build-up can reduce the appliance’s cooling capacity, making it work harder and consume more energy. 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 difference between the 26 cu RS261 and the 25.5 cu RS265 besides the .5 cu?
A: There are many differences in th deatils. I will guess and say the front water panel is different. Dual cooling fans. Built in door ice maker (nothing is inside..its all in the door). LED lighting. Just to name a few...
A: LED Tower Lighting refers to the vertical column of LED lights in the freezer compartment of the RS265TDRS. To see what the lighting configuration looks like in this model, click the "Images" button under the main image of the refrigerator, then select "Alternate View 1". - Ms. Samsung
Q: Water filter
A: Best Buy, Sears or Samsungs
Q: How long should it take for the ice maker to fill the ice bin?
A: Thank you for the question. There are a number of variables that can effect the time needed for the ice bin to be filled, so following are some tips and guidelines for you to use in determining if your RS265TDRS is working properly. If you have just installed your refrigerator, it can take as much as 24 hours for the freezer to reach the temperature necessary for ice production to begin, depending on the difference between your room's temperature and the set temperature; the temperature of the food that's been added to the refrigerator and freezer during the cooling process; the humidity level; and how often the door is opened while cooling. The freezer temperature must be 5ºF or lower for the ice maker to work properly, and Samsung recommends setting the freezer temperature at -2°F. Once ice is produced, you should throw away the first three batches (approximately 30 cubes) to ensure the ice is being made from clean water. Your Samsung refrigerator should produce about 120 ice cubes per day, which is in line with most manufacturer specifications. If your freezer is producing less than that, make sure the water valve is turned on and consider changing the water filter, since a clogged filter could effect water flow and ice production. To speed up ice production, press the Power Freeze button on the control panel. In the Power Freeze mode, both the compressor and the freezer fan run for 10 hours continuously. The ice making interval is reduced from 90 minutes to 55 minutes. If the ice bucket fills in less than 10 hours, Power Freeze stops automatically. - Ms. Samsung
A: Is the ice bucket properly set in the catch position? There may be a circuit breaker contact that is not making a good connection.
Q: Ice Maker
A: Yes, the icemaker in the RS265TDRS has a "feeler arm" that tells the icemaker to stop making ice when the storage compartment is full. Thanks for your interest! Ms. Samsung
A: Other main difference is the number of LED lights. 267 is much more brighter than 265. It has taller tower lights as well as more LEDs at bottom drawer. So total 6 more LED lights in 267. So you can see easily. People say it's worth extra $200 as 265 seems to be dark and when you fill the refrigerator there is less light as all light is coming from backside.
Q: what is the ideal temperature setting in the freezer
A: The ideal temperature settings for the RS265TDRS are -2°F for the Freezer and 38°F for the Fridge. - Ms. Samsung
