I was going to buy a side by side samsung model but my inlaws beat me to the punch and gifted us this really nice fridge.
Don't get confused w\ my 3 star review... the fridge is really nice, I'd never have bought a $2000+ refridgerator! but... it was a gift, what can you do ?!
So, why only 3 stars?
The Ice Maker is absolutely horrid.One morning I was drinking from a plastic cup and i'd been drinking it... all of a sudden i notice some white shavings in my cup.Turns out, it was white plastic shavings from the icemaker.We had a broken piece and it was pushing shaved pieces of plastic out w\ the ice.They came out looked at it, and shipped us a new ice tray.
I have a feeling that the crushed ice is most of the problem, because it leaves crushed ice at the edge which then melts and drips down...The icemaker sits in the refrigerator portion which naturally is warmer so as not to freeze you food.So, ice in the icemaker is constantly melting and dripping to the 1/4 inch deep "gutter" they have in the dispenser area.It is to the point that when I get home and open the fridge, there is almost definitely a pool of water on top of the bottom freezer door, and probably on the ground too.This is an absolute pain to have to clean up every single day.It also seems to have a rough time transitioning from crushed to cubed, and often times is very slow to dispense ice.
And now, slightly disturbing... One night, I noticed some kind of orange/reddish liquid on my cup when I was getting ice.I opened the door to inspect and it's rust from what I think is the ice crushing fixture.So, this too has to be cleaned every few days and I'm not sure that's very healthy to have rust in my icemaker.
Another poor design is the water dispenser which is at an angle inwards toward the fridge, so forget about filling a water bottle with cold filtered water... you're just going to make a mess and get water all over the place for sure.
The fridge is roomy, it has some very nice features both in the fridge and in the freezer...It's much bigger than what my wife and I were using for the past couple of years.So to wrap it up.This is a really nice refridgerator.It has alot of room and some nice featurs like shelves that lift up if you need to fit taller things there.It is really nice ! BUUUUT... The icemaker sucks and it was poorly designed.I wish it included some sort of drainage to take care of the water that is constantly accumulating on my floor from overflow.The only way to fix this would be to turn the icemaker off and not use it, or to set the refidgerator to 32 degrees and thereby have a 26 cubic foot freezer in order to keep the constantly melting ice under control.

Perfect fit and very easy to install.Just have to remove the wire arm and move to the new tray.Mine has the super cool option and it just snapped on to the front easily.Couldn't be simpler to install.Comes with a short wire harness that I didn't need, my old one just plugged right into the new tray.
