10 years ago, I really wanted the water/ice dispenser so we got it. I will never get another one. What a big mistake. There was alays ice dropped on the hardwood floor. It was hard for me to get the ice without having some drop on the floor. With 2 kids, these are type of things that are hard to "teach" well enough to avoid the problem every single time. It actually died once and had it repaired. Then it died again with the flap in the open position. We disconnected dispenser and closed the flap so the air would not get into the freezer all the time. I think a problem with these is that everytime you use it, it lets in room air into the freezer compartment. This causes a large amount of humidity (it has to do with the relative humidity difference between room temperature and freezer compartment) and the water freezes out and causes freezer burn to the food. It's like briefly opening and closing the freezer door everytime you use the ice dispenser. Many people like them very much but not for me.

Looking at sears, for refrigerators and found a SS that has been marked down quite a bit. Anyway the ice/water dispensor is hidden in the door. You press the open/close button and the door pops out revealing the ice/water. when done you just press the close and wala totally hidden from view. Anyone here have any experience with this frig? I think it is very neat looking, with a totally flat front. But am wondering if this little door would take daily wear and tear. Any input is appreciated. Thanks norma

Bought a 25 CF Sears Kenmore (white .. hate the stainless!) French door refr./freezer w/o the water/ice dispenser in the door. It has the icemaker inside that fills a small tray when turned on. I had a 'side-by-side' before that I (& so many others!) 'just had to have' & wound up hating it! Yes the two narrow doors was nice for the small space but both sides (refr. & freezer) were TOO narrow for larger items to fit. I love the new refr.freezer & the convenient space inside. I'm sure you will like this design also!

Always use Samsung brand filters. Filters from other manufacturers, even if they indicate compatibility, may damage your fridge and water filter housing, or break off and leave pieces of the filter inside (like the cap), preventing a new filter from being inserted. A few years ago, the HAF-CU1 model's design was changed from a 2-rib lock to a 3-rib lock in order to provide a tighter fit and better seal. However, the new filter design will still fit in older models of refrigerators, which is why the model and part number was not changed. The first time you switch to the 3-rib type, you may need to perform the "fully unlock the housing" procedure described here, even though the old 2-rib type was also a genuine filter. If the old filter inserts easily but the new filter does not, it is because the old filter is not opening the locking mechanism all the way to make room for the correct Samsung brand filter. It only opens the lock enough for itself to get out. To fix this, hold the old filter in the locking mechanism and turn it all the way open before letting it come out. This is sort of like using the old filter as a screwdriver to open the lock all the way. The steps are: Temporarily reinstall the old filter. While pressing the filter into the housing, turn it to the left as far as it will go, even past the point where the filter could be removed, until the filter can no longer be turned left while held into the housing. Remove the old filter, and install the new filter. If this method does not work, or the old filter is no longer available to use, visit our Support Center to request service.
