Samsung Ice Maker Issue - Solved on New Models?

5 years ago

Hi all,

I am wondering if anyone has one of the newest Samsung French Door Refrigerators with the door Ice dispenser?


I read the horror stories about the icing up of the entire icemaker area... and I think I understand why. Most of the models had absolutely terrible Energy Class ratings.


That would imply that that the refrigerators were not sealed well. If you allow warm air to constantly enter the refrigerator, that air will have a lot of water content (especially in the kitchen) and that moisture content will deposit on the coldest surface... the ice maker! and you would expect to get a massive ice-block on the icemaker apparatus.


I made an obsessive excel doc. listing the features of various referigerators/freezers available to me (living in Norway so the selection is terrible), and I noticed something. see the image.





two of the models (the newest perhaps??) have very clearly solved the energy class issue... which I'm guessing must indicate that they are very well sealed from air leakage. If humid air is not leaking constantly there might be a good chance that the ice maker won't turn into an iceberg on these models?


What do you all think? anyone with any experience?
