Only a few years old. Sucks electric like crazy at minimum settings for food safety. Sounds like a small airplane revving up when it runs, which it almost constantly does, complete with disturbing rattles and hisses. Leaks or collects water in large deli drawer and under this drawer. In short, this fridge is a mess. I am waiting for it to die so I can but something from a more reliable brand. I never buy Samsung, this came with our new house and I can't wait to get rid of it.

Horrible!!!
We bought this fridge 4 years ago. We have had to replace the temperature sensor in it multiple times (about every 6 months). We have issues with it freezing up and having to pull ice off of the refrigerator shelves. We also have had it spoil food for not keeping temp. The lack of service provided is also a frustration. When asked if there is another part that we should replace that may be causing the malfunction, I was told by Samsung support that there is no underlying issue. Which I believe i...

Unreliable Temperature Readings
After about 4 years, the items in the freezer started thawing out, even though the digital readout was still showing around 0 degrees. I put analog thermometers in the freezer and refrigerator and found that the refrigerator temperature was being reported lower than actual as well. I used a multimeter to verify the RTD's were working correctly, and since they were, I bought a new main control board. This did not solve the issue, so it would appear to be an intentional function of the software. C...
Freezer handle busted
Freezer handle the inside mechanism is plastic and snaps off over time . You cannot just buy parts to fix it . Called Samsung and they quoted me almost 500 bucks to ship an entire freezer dooor . What the heck , you have to replace the entire door ! Screw that . Pics show the right side of the handle the gray plastic is cracked . Big piece of junk . I’m so done with garbage
Horrible Design and complete failure at 5 years.
I purchased this refrigerator 5 years ago and it has now completely failed. A little after 1 year three door bins broke completely. With in 2 years the fragile cover over pantry items broke. Within 4 years the freezer handle completely broke off. A little after 4 years the hinge on the internal flap that covers the gap between the doors broke. The ice maker would some days make no ice and other days it would never shut off flooding the freezer with ice cubes. The above mentioned door bins, ...

We bought this refrigerator 6 years ago and had several problems with it throughout the years. There were frequent issues of water leaking especially after the first year when the warranty ran out. First it was water leaking, then the thermostat not reading the temperature in the frig and causing frequent food spoilage. This is actually dangerous health wise because we weren't aware the refrigerator was as warm as it was and causing bacteria growth. Most recent problem was the refrigerator no...

Purchased this refrigerator in January 2018 for a home in Houston. Liked the model so much, bought an identical one for a second fridge in June 2020. Both are still running quiet and great.

Run away from this fridge!
Worst refrigerator I've ever owned! 12th time the refrigerator has frozen over. Lost all my food again and again, I'm on state assistance for food as it is, not like it's replaceable. I get to thaw the dang thing out again to have it freeze over once again in a few months. My mother in law surprised me with fridge. She's since past away and I have no receipt, recourse and no money to afford to buy new fridge, as my money is spent on medical. Sad their products have gone down hill. My washer r...
