Any refrigerator that has the water and ice in the door (of the refrigerator and not in the freezer portion) will have problems with freezing up and being a royal pain in the ***. This is what the majority of the "expert" reviews said on Google and Youtube. They also said that you should get the ones with the ice maker in the FREEZER part, so that temperature doesn't fluctuate so often, which seems to be the cause when the ice maker is in the cooling/refrigerator section. Other than that, each one had their preference for brand. In my case, I replaced my old refrigerator (that was still working fine) with a new Samsung (which had good reviews and I bought on sale) and I have had to defrost my ice maker (in the cooling/refrigerator section door) at least every month or two. I understand that Samsung has been sued and have repaired some folks' machines free. When I contacted them, they wouldn't do it free, so I will continue to defrost mine until I replace it. The cost of repair can reach as high as $500. I like the idea of a filtered drinking water from the refrigerator, because the water here is not good at all. I also have a whole house filter that looks terrible when I replace it. The filter looks like it is covered with mud, which is surprising considering we live in the Villages and should have decent water.
