Samsung RF23M8090SG 22.6 cu. ft. 4-Door French Door Refrigerator with Polygon Handle Review

[@brentheidtke2569]

Just got one today on sale for $2400, so far so good. Freezer is a bit smaller than I had hoped.

[@bobmonzo3137]

So many Samsung's seem to have ice maker issues. After 1 year how is your ice maker working?

[@unkleivan]

How about the ice build up in the fresh food section?

[@gtaiwo21]

Yeah how do you defrost the ice maker?

[@audreyjames6317]

Thank you. I needed to watch this.

This fridge died on me after 2.5 years. The cooling system, coils, etc was completely shot. Samsung sent out "certified" Samsung repairmen. After 2 different certified companies came out, it was determined it couldn't be fixed. Supposedly they didn't make the compressor anymore! Yes, for a fridge they were still selling in the stores. What a nightmare that was. After 2 months of phone calls to the Philippines, they finally refunded $2200 of my money. I originally paid $$2900 . I hired my own repairman, who was easily able to find the parts. But he was stumped on why it wouldn't work.i was bummed. I loved the functionality of that fridge. I now have a bosch. It was slim pickings when I needed to buy one. It's only been 4 months so not sure how long it will last , but the function of it sucks as far as doors and drawers. And that one was $4000

Hello, I am having a fault with this refrigerator, I would like to help me, it is dialing a code C 40, the back of the refrigerator is freezing, I wait for an answer thank you very much

[@rafimouradian6102]

How do you make the control panel start working mine isn’t working are we supposed to connect it to a cell phone or something?

[@denisespigner5684]

What fridge would you recommend today. need counter depth.Thanks in advance

[@unkleivan]

Ask this question an appliance repair technician not a Samsung fanatic.

[@blackhawk1756]

Good vid until u got to the control panel operations portion of the vid..u blew through it so fast just talking about how to do it instead of demonstrating how to do it..Can u actually demonstrate how to operate the control panel mainly how to change fridge and and freezer temps? Plus i didnt understand what u said about the “power freeze”

[@lyndamullalyhunt2221]

Hey - what is the tray under the water and ice maker made of? Plastic or metal?

[@ToolReviewZone]

Hi Lynda, it's a hard plastick wrapped in stainless

[@DreHard]

It’s been 2 years. How do you like the fridge now. Any big issues like the ice maker that everyone seems to be writing in reviews?

[@ToolReviewZone]

I've been having issues with the ice maker. Keeps freezing up and drives me crazy. I love everything else, but that ice maker!!!!

[@ericaschner3283]

Found this video while defrosting my fridge (again!). I have to thaw out the ice maker every 4-6 months or remember to dump it out and clean it every month. Infuriating. While waiting, I was trying to figure out what that little shelf in front of the ice maker is for. Colder than the fridge but not freezer. Never used it.

[@ToolReviewZone]

@@ericaschner3283 I just had to bust out my ice buildup yesterday. Very frustrating

[@ericaschner3283]

@@ToolReviewZone I love how by the time there's any indication of a potential problem the door is already frozen shut.

[@ToolReviewZone]

Haha, I know right. I'll never get another Samsung appliance again. Dishwasher was a joke

[@chuchuchu7799]

Would you buy this fridge again today? Or would you get something different ? If so any suggestions. I really like the Samsung stoves and the Bluetooth range hood. Not too sure about the fridge.

[@ToolReviewZone]

+chuchu chu this is a great question, but a hard one to answer. I love the fridge as it really keeps everything nice an cold. I also love the look and the smudges really don't show on this at all. The two major downsides to it is one, it's a bit smaller than my other. I'm still able to get in what I need to, but is a bit cramped. The major issue that I have with it, and makes me cringe every time I open the freezer is the middle freezer drawer. I can't stand how it get snagged up, and just drives me crazy every time I use it. I guess the answer is... yes I would buy this agaim, but toss that middle drawer!

[@chuchuchu7799]

Thanks

[@antong3987]

Buy LG or a Kenmore (built by LG).

[@bobmonzo3137]

Anton A . Not me. 3 1/2 year old top of the line Kenmore Elite built by LG. Compressor died and Sears wants $500 to fix it. Sears is a nightmare to deal with. Sears own tech told me they are not reliable and are not worth fixing. The mother board also went after 2 years. If you buy anything from Sears, good luck. You’ll need it. That’s assuming they’re even still in business in a couple years.

[@100cvcv8]

@@bobmonzo3137 So what did you get after that one? Any suggestion? Im totally new and need to replace my old one, but all these bad reviews is scary.

[@drlirch03]

Thinking about purchasing this for a tough area in the kitchen. I have a 37inch wide gap, problem is on the right hand side the wall comes out another 2-3 inches and want to keep the fridge tucked back so it doesn't effect the walkway. The manual says you need 3 1/2 inches on one side to open it up. If I have an inch and a quarter would I attest be able to get it open 90 degrees and still be able to use drawers?

[@ToolReviewZone]

+Nick L hey. Let me look at it tomorrow and see what I can find out for you

[@gammainme]

Good review :). Ty

[@yhakult]

Can you take the sliding divider off on the second drawer? Might be difficult to clean.

[@ToolReviewZone]

+yhakult Yeah you can take it out

[@davidmartinez3535]

I cant take it off demo mode can you help me please

[@ericaschner3283]

I'm sure you've got it sorted but if anyone else finds it, hold ice maker, water fill, and door alarm for ~5 seconds

[@joebridges3165]

Don't buy this refrigerator. I've had mine for 5 years and in those 5 years the icemaker backed up and froze so many times I lost count. The first two times I broke up the ice and got it working. The third time I called the warrantee company. The tech replaced the icemaker and circuit board. It worked for about 6 months without a problem, then it started blocking up again. My extended warrantee expired so now I have to unblock the icemaker each time it freezes up. Yesterday 9-5-23, the Flex Zone (middle) drawer control board went dark. After much research I found the wire harness that travels in the drawer slides broke apart from constant opening and closing of that drawer. $130 for the new wire harness. Pretty disappointed with Samsung, there's a few people starting a class action suit for the icemaker. I'm going to try to get in on that, I hope to find one for the flex zone wire harness as well

[@chuchuchu7799]

What do you you think of the same fridge with the Samsung family hub ?

[@ToolReviewZone]

+chuchu chu never used it, but always stayed away as it just more crap to go wrong I guess. Than being said, never had any problems with Samsung, so Its probably fine

[@kevincamacho626]

family hub seems like a good idea but will be outdated long before the fridge itself

[@unkleivan]

I can't believe this video got so many likes. Samsung did great on TVs and phones, but not appliances. Ask any appliance repair tech.

[@ToolReviewZone]

I have to agree. This was a great Friday for a while until the ice maker started screwing up like all the others. I'm switching everything to Whirlpool

[@unkleivan]

@@ToolReviewZone I would recommend staying away from French door whirlpools. Ice maker problems after 2 years or so, which are currently out of stock at every appliance parts store. Best appliances were build 15+ years ago, they made them to last.

[@syedmanzoor3158]

If the water filter breaks you would have to pay 300$

[@VanguardX]

How many fridges have you owned man...lol

[@ToolReviewZone]

Lol, I have owned many. Great comment

[@VanguardX]

I am actually buying this exact model this weekend. I found it through a work discount for 2500. Its replacing an LG counter depth french door that I got 2 years ago that completely stopped cooling. LG was kind enough to refund me so I will try this out. Hows the reliability so far? There 8070 model is also available for 2200. I cant really tell what the difference in the 2 models is besides this one has door handles whole the 8070 does not.

[@ToolReviewZone]

+Vanguard784 yes it look almost identical so should be the same as the specs match up. The only issue I have is the freezer drawer. It is the worst design ever, and constantly gets in the way

[@mchoate5667]

[@peggymoy1846]

Don’t buy!

As you know is not real stainless steel
