I'm not sure where you got your dimensions for the Samsung, but these are right off of the Samsung site.
The total dimensions, including handles are:
32 1/8’’ x 70 1/8’’ x 30 1/2’’
The dimensions of the "box" are:
32 1/8’’ x 69 7/8’’ x 24 1/4"
Without the handles, the box plus doors are the following:
32 1/8’’ x 69 7/8’’ x 28 1/8’’
OTOH the 24" depth you quoted for the Norcold is only the cutout depth requirement, as stated on the Norcold site and doesn't include the doors or handles.
I am not making these corrections to try to convince you or anyone else to change whatever fridge they wish to have, but I think it is important that all parties have accurate information on which to base their decisions. Because the Samsung's box has the same 24" depth as the Norcold the fridge does not appreciably intrude into the room any more than than the Norcold does. I believe the measurements you cited are for the 21 cu ft model which is not a cabinet-depth appliance.
