Samsung Residential Fridge Questions

My new fidge (RF18) is going to be installed next week and I have a few questions for those that already have one.

Do the condenser coils need to be cleaned on a periodic basis??? If so, how often do you do it??

Does the ice maker supply enough ice. I know that is somewhat of a ambiguous question but I'm trying to decide if I should keep the Beaver supplied U-Line ice maker or turn it into a storage cabinet. The U-Line makes a lot of ice so we're somewhat spoiled. Of course I guess the Samsung ice make could be turned off and have the extra freezer space

Any issues that one should be aware of?
  • I installed a Smasung in my previous coach. Even though it didn't have a through the door ice maker, I loved the ice maker it does have. It has a huge tray that holds probably 5 pounds of ice.
  • I have a GE with the coils on the bottom at floor level. They need to be cleaned at least once a year but even when I forget and go longer I have not seen any real performance difference.
  • I looked at my refer coils yesterday. After a couple of years, they are still clean so I wouldn't worry about them for a couple of years. Ours runs 24/7 BTW. It also makes enough ice for us and I have to shut it down because it fills the bin to quick for our useage
  • I missed the old Uline for a long time. Especially if at somewhere a long way from stores. Digorno Pizzas fit perfectly. :) :)
  • Clean coils twice a year. RVs are dusty.
    Our Whirlpool makes lots of ice. Get rid of other ice maker.
