Samsung RFG297HDWP 28.5 Cu. Ft. White French Door Refrigerator - Energy Star

Mixed feelings but happy
I am very big on Samsung...We now had the RFG297HDRS for almost 3 weeks. Our previous fridg is also a Samsung side by side.
Pros:
1) love the fridg....roomy fridg section
2) LED lighting
3) look and feel

Cons:
1) Not holding temp correctly. Tech was out today and they are replacing the temp sensors. Hopefully this will help.
2) Got eggs? Normally we store our eggs on the top right shelve on our side by side. The dozen standard size egg carton does not fit on the top door shelve of our new refrig. I thought that was annoying. We actually had to put the eggs on the regular shelve.
3) buzzy sounds when power cool is on. The tech checked the compressor, fans, condenser and was unable to find the issue. I just happen to touch the back of the fridg near the freezer section and the sound stopped. I remove my hand and the buzzy sound is back. did that 5 to 8 times and it was consistent. We looked inside the freezer and the tech tighten a few...

so far so good!
Bought this during last year black Friday at $1599!! I guess I don't have the right to complain at that incredible price! I have been using this for a month. So far so good! I have read numerous compliant about this fridge on Bestbuy and other website. Yet, I still risked and bought this model (coz I like its size and look). I believe either I am lucky getting a good one. Or, others did not do what it's suppose to do. Per Lowes technician's advice, you gotta dump the 1st 2 gallon of water in order to avoid dripping. Also, after 24 hrs, you should dump the 1st bucket of ice cubes as well. I did those and I don't have any problem.

Also, if you feel the fridge is not cold enough. Press 'Power Cool' or 'Power freeze' for 3 secs...and adjust to the desire temp...something like this. Hope this will help the others! This is a nice LARGE fridge!

This is a good refridgerator!
This is a really good refrigerator. Shop around and you can find these a thousand less than regular price...

External:
This refrigerator barely fits in my cabinet frame in my kitchen. My previous fridge (25cf side-by-side) had about an inch of space on the sides and about four inches from the top to spare. I measured the cabinet space prior to buying the Samsung but was sure surprised at the size of it when it was installed.

The back of the fridge is very flat... completely sealed off. It does not have space to tuck/hide away excess water lines. Samsung provides a flat three pronged wall plug (more on that in a bit) but the waterlines was a small issue for me. Initially, the Samsung fridge stuck out two inches more than the previous model. After coiling the excess water line and inserting the excess into a small hole in the drywall (with a nice wall plate) all is well.

I read in couple places online that the "motherboards" in these new...
