Looking for Answers about samsung 21 cu. ft. Bottom Freezer Refrigerator?

The RB217ABPN is a free-standing and portable refrigerator, not a "built-in", though it can have a built-in appearance if the cabinetry is designed around the refrigerator's measurements.

The RB217ABPN's dimensions are 32-1/4" wide by 68-3/4" high (behind the hinge) by 26-3/4" deep (without door). Samsung recommends leaving 1" on each side, 2" on top and 2" behind the refrigerator to allow sufficient air flow for the cooling system to work properly and most efficiently. Therefore, if your goal is to have the RB217 appear built-in, the space for it should be 34-1/4" wide by 70-3/4" high by 28-3/4" deep.

To find a retailer near you that carries the RB217ABPN, please click on the "Where to buy" button on the right side of the product's home page, then enter your zip code and select a radius. If this does not return the desired results, try expanding the radius, searching other zip codes in neighboring areas, or contacting retailers that carry the same model in other colors to see if they can order your preferred color. Distribution of particular models changes frequently, and information is in the process of being updated, so checking back periodically will likely yield different results.

The refrigerator door on the RB217ABPN can be reversed, and the new refrigerator should have come with the parts necessary to do so.

To cancel Cooling Off (Demo) mode on your RB217ABPN, press the Power Freeze and Freezer buttons at the same time for 3 seconds until a chime is heard. The compressor should turn on and the unit should start to cool right away.

The maximum depth of the RB217 with the door open is 59-1/2". The maximum depth of the counter depth model RFG237 with the bottom freezer drawer fully extended is 46-1/4", compared to the full depth RFG297, for example, which is 54-1/2" with the bottom freezer open the whole way.

The doors on Samsung's bottom freezer style refrigerators produced since 2005 are reversible. The alternate hinge assembly should be included with the new refrigerator.

Follow this link, then click on "How to" for instructions on reversing the door swing: http://support-us.samsung.com/cyber...

The RB217ABPN has a pull-out drawer-style freezer. Both bins inside the freezer are of solid plastic construction, not wire.

It's not unusual for the door hinge to develop a squeak after some time. Try applying a small amount of WD40 to the hinge, being careful to wipe up excess lubricant to prevent it from dripping onto any food.

I'm sorry to hear you're having a problem with your RB217ABPN. While there are a number of things you can check to troubleshoot issues with your icemaker, if it has come apart, I would suggest having it repaired by a qualified technician to avoid further damage and get it to work again. Even if it's in the right position to fill and troubleshooting can help the water to flow into it, if it isn't able to rotate and harvest the ice automatically, it could lead to overfilling and spillage the next time it goes to fill. To initiate service through Samsung, please submit an online service request through the link below, or call 800-SAMSUNG to speak with an agent who will be happy to assist you.

The size for counter hight is perfect. There has been no problem with the lighting. There is plenty of room in the bottom freezer. The only problem I have is with water collecting in the vegetable bins. This is a result of condensation. I need to remove the bins on a daily basis in the summer and wipe both inside and below the bins as there is no other way to remove the water.

The RB217ABPN does not have an internal water filter for the icemaker. Instructions for installing an external water filtration system can be found on pages 11-12 of the User Manual, which can be downloaded from this link: http://tinyurl.com/y3yn6mn

Please note that the Samsung part number (DA29-00015A) mentioned on page 12 has been discontinued. Your local retailer should be able to help you choose a filtration system that best meets your needs.

The RB217ABPN measures 29-5/8" deep without the freezer drawer handle (there is no handle on the refrigerator door).
