Good point, hvtech42. While looking up a Frigidaire problem for a poster here, I found that some of the evaporator coils were not replaceable as they were built into the foam. As much as I like my 8 year old Jenn-air, (albeit a much larger fridge, 48 inches, Were I to buy a smaller fridge, I would certainly check out the new GE's, they do, (unlike the expensive competitor), have the latest technology. As far as Samsung, alto I do prefer their dual evaporator design as opposed to 2 compressors, 2 condensors, 2 evaporators etc etc, (for those that "Must have" separation of air between fridge/freezer), but I keep seeing too many post of parts being hard to find and taking a long time to procure~~~~~not something one wants to run into with a "busticated fridge", ya thinks?

I purchased this unit with the all glass door. So far, I love the refrigerator. As far as energy consumption, I have not really noticed an increase in the electric bill. With regard to the noise level, there is a low hum of the fan running that is constant but you really do not notice it after a day or so. I decided to purchase the glass door refrigerator to create a more industrial commercial kitchen along with traditional classic style. I have mahogany cabinetry and hardwood floors in the kitchen and the marrying of the two styles looks great. While the surrounding of the cabinets and lighting(I have a formal Swarovski chandelier above the table) is formal, mixing in the commercial stainless look creates a serious chef look. The day the refrigerator was delivered (and the pre-delivery call), they kept informing me that this was a glass door commercial refrigerator. I think they were a little surprised that it was for a residential kitchen. Once they entered the kitchen to set it in place, the delivery guys were amazed how it looked in the kitchen. I also have a stainless and glass center island hood that blends in well with the refrigerator. Tying all these elements together gives the kitchen a look all its own. The delivery driver told me he was expecting someone like Rachel Ray to accept the delivery because it is not your everyday refrigerator to a residential home. I chose not to purchase a sub-zero and spend the money on other elements and appliciances for the kitchen. I am happy today that I made that decision. Of note, with an all glass door refrigerator, you have to keep the inside organized and neat at all times. I purchased glass containers and bottles to use in the refrigerator to keep the appearance neat and orderly(can you say compulsive?) The wire shelving can be configured to accomodate larger pans or containers of food. I love to cook and entertain so the refrigerator totally works for me. I have never been a fan of the freezer that comes with a residential refrigerator and I have an upright freezer in my pantry area. I purchased and installed an ice maker for the kitchen since there is no way possible with this refrigerator. I do believe that the refrigerator is more on the commercial end since it has a food saftey approval and rating. All in all I love it and I am pleased. Feel free to email me with any questions that you may have.

Purchased ours in 2017. It’s crap. Had a major repair/replacement on the condenser, $900 (summer 2021). Months later, went out again - lost everything in it - again. Called them back out and service said it was leaking freon but no idea where or how. Refilled. $300. Just went out again - summer 2022 - Lost everything in it. Searching now to find something that will fit the space we built especially for this size fridge. Not too pumped about giving frigidaire more money for another one that is likely to fail too, but redoing cabinets that are only 5 years old isn’t exciting either. Can’t buy fridge only as the new ones aren’t the same size so we’ll have to replace both fridge and freezer. Don’t buy these!

You can buy the appliance as Custom Panel Ready and Samsung describes how to replace the panels. But I don't see any information on panel dimensions so I think "custom panel" refers to the panels available from Samsung. If you want to design your own panels, you should probably buy a model designed for them such as this Fisher Paykel refrigerator. Of course you could always buy one Samsung panel and use it as a template for panels your design yourself. @Verbo: "Why would you want to waste another 2K..." Where do you get the 2K figure? Even Samsung panels bought separately are only $107/each.
