my samsung fridge is now going on 6 years old.  bought it new from a well-known furniture/appliance store locally.  we're on our 3rd ice maker (yes, they freeze up and need to be replaced as the other reviews have indicated).  just had the repairman out today to replace door gaskets and back inside panel.  the gaskets fail letting in warm air which causes ice to form around the cooling elements and eventually the fan blades hit the ice causing an awful noise.  this is a well known problem.  google it!  i will be replacing this fridge when this ice maker fails or whenever the next service is needed.  going with whirlpool/amana/kitchenaid per the repairman's recommendation.
