RF Fridge to Samsung RF 18

[JC2]

About 3-4 weeks ago, we traded our 2004 Dutch Star DP and purchased a 2010 Newmar Dutch Aire Model 4304 DP from Motor Homes of Texas in Nacogdoches, Tx. It came with the double door SS Norcold 1200 series rv fridge which I admit is working relatively well. I have not been a supporter of them for some time nor do I trust them. We are scheduled to have it replaced by MH of TX on Oct 15 with the Samsung SS 17.5 cu ft French Door Counter Depth model RF18HFENBSR. Our other choice was a GE 18.6 cu ft French Door Counter Depth model GWE19JSLSS @ $500 more. Over the past several years when the big push started with folks to replace their rv fridges with residential ones, Samsung was mentioned frequently as a choice. Reader comments on the Home Depot website for "both" is all over the board. What have members of this forums experienced reliability wise if the have changed to either the Samsung or GE models I mentioned? Good, bad,???

Early learner (1995). And all the money I wasted. Same refrigerator -- thousands of dollars wasted in diesel, tolls and time. Not to mention illness. PTUI!

Started this season with a new Samsung 21 cu. ft. residential refrigerator. It replaced a 13.5 cu. ft. Dometic french door model.

Al I can say is "Sure wish I'd done it sooner".

Do some reading. I seem to recall many problems with the new models.

These posts have 'residential' and 'samsung' in them. Not sure if any will be of help to you.

Keeping Doors Closed?

Preferred method?

Dont know about that specific model. But I can tell you our Samsung refer at home has been great. It had to sit in storage for 10 months between houses, but once it was moved in and put together and turned on it has not once stopped working. It is so big I had to remove the base mouldings to get it to fit. Runs like a charm.
