General Comments

Probably just after two years of ownership (when the warranty has just run out) it will develop a fault. The fridge part will start to make some noise which will increase, what is happening is a major build up of ice in the fan compartment and the fan hits the ice causing the noise. Eventualy the noise will stop - the ice has won completely stopping the fan. Then the temperature will rise in the fridge. Ther are some very expensive repairs for this problem but I have yet to read of anyone who has fixed it competely, the problems usually return.
This is a very common fault with the samsung I have one and this happened to me there are at least 6 forums on the internet full of people with the same fault.

    I have had the same series RS21 Side by Side Refrigerator and have had exactly the same experience. After just over two years I was faced with a bill for £300 to repair. Samsung customer care are unhelpful, any product is only as good as the support you get from the manufacturer, particularly when there is a design fault. Keep clear of these unreliable appliances.

    I have had exactly the same problem. Model RS21NCSW bought in Bangalore India in Aug 2005. June 2007, we started hearing loud noises, called a technician, there was ice build up. Repeat that ad naseum. Unresolved, unhelpful technician (I believe they don't know how to fix it and Samsung apparently isn't helping them).
