Looks are great,stylish and ice on tap appealed,but have had a few problems with ice forming around vents/odourizer. Problem was thermostat not keeping heater on long enough so created ice build up around fan.This thermostat was changed and moved a little higher on heater so it would take longer to reach its temp and this would melt the ice build up, also a new fan(basically bottom half of fridge) was fitted. Recently been having problems with earth leakage fault tripping electric off in house,found to be the fridge/freezer. On inspection found the heater was staying on too long and had melted/cracked the plastic back of the fridge, behind the heater. Am now awaiting call back from Samsung regarding issue. Bought fridge in oct 07, although out of warranty repair and upgrade(due to fire risk) feb 10, earth fault intermittent since july 10. Was happy Samsung agreed to send engineer out when out of warranty, but for the money would expect better quality!!!

defrost heater low earth insulation or water finding its way in to a conector during defrost cycle are 2 possible causes
