On Samsung’s US site the RS23A500A is the Bespoke AI Side-by-Side In-Door Ice Maker All-Around Cooling | 23 cu.ft., a 23 cu. ft. side-by-side refrigerator. A side-by-side like the RS23A500A moves cold air from the freezer side across to the fresh-food side through a single damper, and when that damper or the evaporator fan stalls the fresh-food side warms while the freezer stays cold.
We measure both compartments of the RS23A500A 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.
