Samsung RF4267HARS 25.5 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel French Door Refrigerator - Energy Star</n

Samsung RF4267HARS 25.5 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel French Door Refrigerator - Energy Star
  • External Filtered Water And Ice Dispenser
  • Power Freeze And Power Cool Options
  • Twin Cooling Plus System
  • Dimensions (WHD): 32 13/16" X 69 3/4" X 36 1/4" In.

We had this side by side Whirpool Gold for 8 years and we mistakenly taught it to be a good purchase.

When it broke last May, we found that the parts in the compressor compartment were attached with tie-wraps and Sears service were not even able to fix it anymore (because the fridge was cheaply made but also because they are really incompetent).

So when the Sears tech mentioned that KitchenAid has better warranty and after the third unsuccessful repair we decided to replace the Whirpool crap, we went to look for a KitchenAid. But then we learned that they are all made by Whirpool: KitcheAid, Maytag, and some others too. They all look the same, they all have this stupid water dispenser that you have to keep the door open to use it and they are all the same questionable quality as our old fridge.

We finally decided for the Samsung and so far we are very happy with our decision. Even in the store it was standing away from all the others and it was making a huge impression as a product of a different clas.. We have it only for a week now, so there is no reliability proof yet, but quality wise, you can feed the difference immediatelly. Great finish, quiet, everything works pefeect, and the electronic controls are just great. Everything looks like it was well thaught and designed. Nothing was neglected. Not talking about you having 25.5 cu.ft. where all the other brands have only 22 cu.ft.

Buy

This fridge seemed ideal with all the functionality and deep space, yet compact enough for a Manhattan apartment. But it has some serious structural flaws. Between the cooling cycles it warms up so much that ice cream in freezer melts and the meat (partially) thaws. You can see frost and dew on the bottles etc in the fridge. Then ice maker starts to leak water.

Then everything recools and ice forms again in the ice maker. But because it is formed from the previously melted ice, ice makers gets jammed.

I had 3 different PC Richards technicians come and take a look and they tried everything, including changing the two computer motherboards! But nothing has fixed the problem.

Will try to return it now.

Samsung Fridges have MAJOR problems. See this site: http://www.applianceblog.com/mainforums/samsung/26180-samsung-water-bottom-refrigerator. . After 4 years, mine builds up water in the bottom all the time because of corrosion and blocked drains. For 2000 bucks, get another brand and save the hassle and heartache!

Want

I own an RF267 Samsung fridge. I highly suggest you search online about problems with Samsung refrigerators that are only 2-3 years old. Ours is leaking water. Our in-laws are having the same problem with their Samsung refrigerator. I suggest you do some research before buying a Samsung refrigerator.

I have a small spot that isn't "full width". This is absolutely the best fridge I've found that will fit in the spot. The capacity is huge and the layout is very logical and easy to use.
