The two ice maker buckets rest on top of an ice maker shelf that is designed to go immediately under the ice maker on the highest rail. If the ice maker shelf is placed in a lower position, ice will overflow from the bucket since it requires more ice to reach high enough for the ice level arm to come in contact with the ice.

@theirvs793 Год назад

There is only one place for that particular shelf to go on.

@willemsruben1 Год назад

Are you sure of that? Like Joshua, I see an unused pair of supporting rails just above the ice buckets…

@brian1078 Год назад

Agreed, you can see in the video that they have the top lip of the ice drawer installed in the slot where the bottom of the ice drawer should be installed.

@theirvs793 Год назад

Alright you all, you didn’t give up after I looked and looked and said it wasn’t possible. So I gave it another try and sure enough I just needed to reposition the shelf. RU-vid community for the win!

@thekirksiffs5285 Год назад

Your earlier video on this fridge convinced me to purchase this style of fridge. We do have the panel Bespoke version though. I love the fridge! ours too is counter-depth and is plenty of space for us. Just wanted to let you all know that the ice will shut off automatically. I have tested it out. Could be that when the bin is very full, as you scoop out some of the ice you are knocking some of the bits out of the back ( I have done this many times). For now, just having the Ice Bites going is more than enough for the two of us. We turned off the Ice Cubes and use that as extra storage space. We have the white glass panels on ours, and for this year Samsung is offering an extra set of panels to units purchased at the time we got ours. I will probably go with the light blue ones.

I'm in the DR group and saw the video when you first posted it. I saw the refrigerator in the store a couple of days before your post but didn't know how to open the beverage center door. I did have to have my refrigerator replaced due to the ice maker freezing up and them not knowing when the part would be in. Other than that, I still love it!

@theirvs793 Год назад

So sorry to hear you had an issue. Everyone gets tripped up with the beverage center door, but once you get the hang of it, it gets more natural.

@marlinchin 2 месяца назад

Our first Samsung fridge lasted us 19 years, bought it in 2005 when we got married. We just bought this one and was installed yesterday :) we upgraded because the internal water hose on the first one finally gave out, easier to replace the whole fridge than fix it.

This is such a helpful video. I'm considering a counter depth, but with four people, not sure if it'll have enough room. It was great to see you can put roasting pans in your fridge. Also nice to see such healthy food, I love those Vital Farms eggs. Makes me happy to see people in good health!!!

I been really enjoying the refrigerator. One tip if you buy the fridge, please prevent liquid from spilling on the bottome shelf over the drawers because you can not remove to clean in the crevices. I called them and they stated about it. I have had mine for a year. Try to get a protective cover for bottom shelf. It works for us but wish that shelf moved. The space is plentiful. Thanks for sharing.

THANK YOU! I am in Canada. We are planning a new home (time tba) and I have been thinking hard about this Samsung Flex fridge. I watched your first video but this one was EXTREMELY helpful! I'm still thinking of Samsung. We have had a now obselete Samsung fridge in our current home for more than a decade and, while it's not as flexible and does not hold as much as the Flex does, we have had no issues (other than the awful grinding which happens from a regular ice maker when dispensing ice). Thank you and I wish you health and happiness.

@theirvs793 Год назад

Thank you for watching and best wishes on your future new home!

@janb9458 Год назад

.@@theirvs793 Hi again. I have been researching the difference between counter depth (our current fridge is counter depth) and standard depth 4 door flex fridges. I have a question and I'm hoping you'll be able to answer it. How deep are the shelves inside your counter depth fridge? I look forward to a reply when you have some time. Sending kind regards.

One thing I had to improve was the height of the shelves on the fridge doors. I had to do something to raise the height a bit for couple of milimeters in order to get enough space to put some bottles below. That is the only thing they should design better - to give us option to raise shelves ourselves the way we want. Luckyly i managed to do it myself without major changes

@danzig4276 Год назад

How'd you do it? If you dont mind telling me in depth when you get a chance ?

@iVinx Год назад

@@danzig4276 Just to clarify, I was talking about the door shelves. Not the main shelves made of glass. What I did is that I took out the shelve and inserted a bit of self-adhesive thin foam which raised the shelve for around 0.5-1 cm . For me that was good enough. Let me know if you need more instructions.

Thank you for this review. I have already purchased it at the end of the December based on your old review, I am from Europe (Slovenia) and I can only thank to you. So far I am very satisfied, there is not much things I would change. At the moment I only have to find out how to organize things in the refrigerator... the biggest issue is how to separate veggies, fruits and cheese&salami section. Before I had three crisper drawers - one for each section, now it have only two, and I can't decide where to put veggies. Or I have to move cheese&salami section elsewhere and put veggies in the right crisper drawer. Thank you again for making this 1-year review!

I have 2 Samsung refrigerators, a four door flex, same as yours, and a French Door counter depth on my Hatteras. The four door flex is trouble free. The boat fridge did have to be repaired.... most bad opinions result from repair people not knowing how to effect the repair! I was fortunate to get a knowledgeable repair person, cheap easy fix... additional heat defrost strip, and a heat sink extending into the drain area... no problems since... The Four Door Flex is awesome.

I have the exact same situation where my Fridge slot is 72 and 1/4" and I wanted the new bespoke ones that are 73" tall, so it's too tall. However, its at the front, so technically can we make it fit but just have it block the cabinets above it?

@theirvs793 Месяц назад

Yes, it would block the cabinets. I think you will find more value in having access to the cabinets over being able to change out the fridge panels, which likely won’t happen often anyway.

@theirvs793 Год назад

No need to pay someone to tell you to do something you can do on your own. We recommend paying off/down your debts to increase your credit. Many credit repair folks get legit claims taken off your report. What ends up happening is during the buying process your lender ends up finding those removed claims and you get denied for the house. Check out some of our first videos on the channel where we share how we paid off our debt which significantly increased our credit scores.
