Samsung RS265TD 26 Cubic Foot Side by Side Energy Star Refrigerator with External Water and Ice, Black Pearl

great fridge, just put anything on top of it.
Fridge works great, but I found out that you can turn it off with your belly (Im 190 @ 6 feet) when reaching for things you might place on top of the fridge.

The buttons on the ice/water dispenser can turn your condenser off, when pressed at the same time, setting your temps to 0Fc. When that happens your fridge doesn't work and stops producing cold.

Lucky I noticed this before all my food went bad. I called the 800 service number and it was fast and told me the buttons to press to fix this. My temps went up 10 degrees before I fixed it since there is no mention of this in the product literature.

Ice Cube Dispenser Plugs Up Continuously
I have owned this refrigerator for nearly a year. It is very quiet and it has lots of freezer storage space. However it has one problem that drives me up the wall. The ice dispenser plugs up about every three weeks and I have to take the ice bucket out and clean out the ice clog in the bucket and the dispenser chute with warm water.

Here is the scenario that always occurs. I have the freezer temperature set at -2DEGF. Mostly I leave the dispenser switch on "water". I switch it to "cubes" or "crush" when I want ice. After a several days I start getting a combination of crushed ice and ice cubes when I ask for cubes. After several more days I can only get crushed ice even though I have the setting on "cubes". After several more days, It just grinds away with nothing coming out.

Here is what I have to do to get Ice cubes. I open the freezer door and remove the ice bucket. Then I dump the ice from the bucket. I then run warm water through the extraction chamber to...

Nothing Special
I've had the fridge for over 7 months, replacing a 12 year old Kenmore. The first Samsung delivered was a lemon (ice maker and condenser malfunction). Returned.
So, let's start from the top down.
1. The exterior has good, clean lines, with hinges hidden behind the door frame.
2. Handles are secure and doors are easily opened and closed.
3. The ice and water functions are consolidated. You must select ice or water and depress a lever dispense. This is one of the major design flaws of this refrigerator: the ice frequently comes out all at once, often spilling over to the floor below; ice is of poor quality, often coming out with chips, and melts rapidly; water is not adequately cooled-- no cooler than getting from sink faucet. I much prefer Kenmore's dual dispenser,ice size and quality, and water temperature.
4. Icemaker is SLOW. We have to buy or make additional ice even for small gatherings and, like many brands, the icemaker is noisy. However, having it on...
