Samsung lists the RF18A5101 as a 18 cu. ft. 3-door French door refrigerator – its own page reads 3-Door French Door 33″ & Auto Ice Maker All-Around Cooling | 18 cu.ft.. On the RF18A5101 the ice maker sits in the upper fresh-food door, which is why frost in the ice room and a slow water fill are the two complaints we hear about it most.
We measure both compartments of the RF18A5101 before opening anything, because a cold freezer beside a warming fresh-food section points at airflow between them far more often than at the compressor.
