- A: AnswerThanks for the responses. I went to the store to measure the doors, and I measured that they each need 1" extra clearance beyond the 32 1/8" width of the fridge to accommodate the hinge mechanism when open. But, Samsung sent a link to the manual and referred me to page 18, where the measurement I was looking for is #6 (I think). There, it says that each door hinge requires 1 1/4" clearance. In my kitchen one door will be next to the kitchen counter, and as this is a countertop depth fridge, there should be no problem with opening the door on that side. - at worst, I can move the fridge forward a little to make sure that the door on that side can open. The other side of the fridge will be next to a wall, so I will need to make sure there is 1 1/4" clearance between the fridge and the wall on that side, to enable that door to open (only 90 degrees given the configuration of the space I have, but that is enough). The space I have for the fridge is 33 7/8" wide, so I will just make it in terms of clearance (32 1/8" for the fridge + 1 1/4" to clear the door next to the wall = 33 3/8"). Close! Wish me luck!

Q: QuestionHow do you open this fridge? Where do you put your hand?(1 answer)
A: AnswerI'm happy to help with this, zanderka! The space between the refrigerator doors and freezer drawer is indented. This creates an overhang that can be gripped similar to a door handle, but with a clean, sleek look. ^JeccaAnswered by Samsung
- A: AnswerIt’s not something that can be turned off. Just don’t download the SmartThings app and you’ll be fine.

- A: AnswerAbsolutely, mjod! Page 36 of the user manual (https://bit.ly/2RdA6NB) has step by step instructions on how to turn the ice maker off. It is important to make sure the ice maker is turned off if you are not installing a water line, as this could cause damage to the internal components. ^Jecca
Answered by Samsung
- A: AnswerThanks so much for asking, Tony! This model does not use an internal water filter. However, you can install an external water filter to the water line if desired. ^Jecca

- A: AnswerThanks so much for asking, Tim! According to page 17 of the user manual (https://bit.ly/3bQbvWo) this model requires a location with a temperature range between 50 °F (10 °C) and 109 °F (43 °C). ^Jecca
Answered by Samsung
- A: AnswerWe're sorry for the confusion, Rose! Samsung has many different size refrigerators, some of which are very similar. This specific model has a 5.8 cu. ft. freezer capacity, and 11.7 cu. ft. refrigerator capacity. This makes the total capacity 17.5 cu. ft. ^Jecca

Q: QuestionIs there an alarm if the door is left open?(2 answers)
A: AnswerThanks for asking, Keke! Yes, if one or more of the doors is opened for more than 2 minutes a door alarm will sound. ^JeccaAnswered by Samsung

Samsung 17.5 - Just Awesome
This is by far the best fridge out on the market, we do flip houses and have purchased at least 20 of these. The size dimensions are perfect for any size kitchen. Never had an issue. A must buy, don’t hesitate

Samsung counter depth refrigerator
I wanted a counter depth fridge that would fit in a smaller space. This was the only one I could find locally in stock and under $1,500. It works as it should. In hindsight, I would have waited for a model with handles to become available. It has a sleek look, but opening and closing the doors are a bit annoying.

Samsung True Counter Depth as advertised.
The Samsung 17.5 counter depth refrigerator is perfect for our kitchen. The smaller footprint and no handles frees up 11 inches of space. The ice maker produces adequate ice for our needs. No water dispenser was mitigated by installing a reverse osmosis system at the sink. A little reorganization in the fridge & freezer makes up for the reduction in cubic feet capacity. I highly recommend this unit if space is a challenge & you desire true counter depth specifications. Very happy with the purchase & install.
