GREAT REFRIGERATOR BUT !!

THE FRIGE IS PRETTY NICE LOOKING IN THE HOUSE, BUT THE ICE MAKER KEEP'S BREAKING. WHEN YOU WANT CUBED ICE IT USUALLY CRUSHES IT. I NEVER KNOW WHAT IM GOING TO GET, EVEN WHEN I SELECT CUBED OR CRUSHED. AND THE ICE CUBES GET STUCK AS THE ARE DISPENSING AT THE TOP. AND IT STOP'S MAKEING MORE UNTILL YOU CLEAR THAT ONE PIECE. SO I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY OPEN THE FREEZER DOOR TO MAKE SURE THERE IS NOT A PIECE OF ICE STUCK AT THE TOP. THE ICE MAKER HAS BEEN WORKED ON OR REPLACED 4 TIME'S IN A TWO YEAR PERIOD. I JUST GOT TIRED OF CALLING AND THEN WAITING FOR A TECHNITION TO COME TO MY HOUSE.
The refrigerator has great space and interior design. Good storage space and freezer capacity. The only major complaint is the ice maker. The ice maker often let's a cube hanging on the freezer tray and stops the ice maker from working. I usually find out the next day when I need ice and there is none. They replaced the ice unit, it is better, now only happens once every 10 days. My solution is to save a bag of ice in the freezer so when it fails, I have a reserve. To get it working takes a light fist to the unit and the hanging cube falls off and it starts making cubes again. Overall, I would buy another Samsung again. I also use Samsung TV'S, TABLET AND PHONES.
I purchased my refrigerator because I had the same one in my last home. I love that the ice maker is in the freezer door and not in the freezer. I love that it has enough room for my needs without being so oversized and bulky. I have not had a problem with it in my previous home and so far none in my new home.
I have owned this side by side for over two years and I am very pleased. There is plenty of storage with easy access for my husband and myself. There is also room to hold enough food for a party. Ice maker has worked well, temperatures stay accurate and food has stored well.
It is the perfect size for our family. Lower cost of ownership that any other fridge i have owned. The service team the Samsung has been exceptional for a part i needed.
Just picked this refrigerator up today...it was the last one & a floor model...unfortunately it came with no paperwork and I'm not sure what the setting should be set at??? Hopefully someone can help me with this ...or let me know a way to get the instruction manual online maybe? So far I love everything about it...very quiet and so clean & sleek looking!! very happy ...but would feel better if I knew I had settings set correctly...
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Response from Samsung USBy Ms. Samsung, HQ, April 24, 2014
Hi missymoore,
So glad to hear you love your new RSG257AARS Refrigerator! Here's a link to download a pdf of the User Manual: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201403/20140306141347156/DA99-01746A_-19.pdf
This refrigerator does look nice, I love the compact design; however, we purchased this in July of 2011 and already we've had to replace both the computer board and now the ice maker. I have to give only one star for rating, performance & value. When you purchase a high end ticket such as this, you expect more. So, no I will not purchase again and no I will not be recommending to my friends.
