Put defrosting on ice
No Frost
Wouldn't finding the ice cream be that bit easier with a frost free fridge freezer? The Total No Frost feature maintains an even temperature, preventing ice build-up, saving you the time and hassle of defrosting.
Fresh as a daisy
Twin Cooling Plus
Wouldn't it be good if all your food in the fridge stayed really fresh? With two separate air flows and precise fridge temperature control, Samsung Twin Cooling Plus™ does just that. So no more dried out vegetables or rubbery cheese. Not only that, but it stops food odours mixing, so your food tastes the way it's meant to.
* Based on internal testing compared to a conventional cooling system.
Pure Genius
Non-plumbed water dispenser
Helping yourself to some chilled water is easy, even if your Fridge Freezer is nowhere near your water supply. We offer models that don't need to be plumbed in, giving you cool water at the touch of a button.

The power is yours
Power Cool / Power Freeze
No more worrying about your frozen favourites defrosting on the way home from the shops. Power Freeze rapidly lowers the temperature of the freezer once you've stocked up. Power Cool tops up the fridge with some cool air keeping your new food fresh.
Modern and sleek to suit your style.
Seamless & Sleek Design
Inside and out, this modern fridge is a sophisticated addition to any kitchen. The flat doors and recessed handle keep things sleek. And the streamlined water dispenser* adds a little chic. Plus, the interior features a hidden display for easy control, and an extra-wide wine shelf**. It ticks all the right boxes.
Optimal humidity for lasting freshness
Consistent Freshness
Preserve the freshness, flavour and texture of food for longer. Independent coolers in each compartment cool every corner evenly. Advanced insulation reduces any fluctuation, no matter how hot or cold it is outside. Digital Inverter Technology also senses and controls the temperature precisely.
All the ice or space you need on demand
Movable Ice Maker
Make sure that you always have plenty of ice to stay cool when it’s warm. A simple twist of the Movable Ice Maker is all it takes to dispense a large quantity of ice. But when the seasons change and there’s not much need for ice, you can easily remove it and create more space in the freezer.
Long-lasting and efficient compressor
Digital Inverter Compressor with 10-year warranty

Reviews
4 Door French Door Refrigerator Series 8 SpaceMax 488L
- Customers praise the cavernous fridge compartment and smart storage design with pull-out trays and vegetable drawers that fit large family provisions effortlessly.
- Reviewers commend the sleek brushed silver finish, bright LED interior lighting, and solid construction as premium, kitchen-enhancing features.
- Many highlight remarkably quiet operation, stable temperatures, and the 20-year compressor warranty as reliable, durable performance indicators.
- Some mention minor inconveniences including the two-litre water tank requiring frequent refills and a bulky, inefficient ice maker.
- A few report isolated cosmetic imperfections or unusual noises, though these remain rare concerns that do not deter satisfaction.

We're pleased to hear that you're enjoying the sleek looks and the large size of your Samsung Series 8 French-Style Fridge Freezer Roy, but we're sorry to hear that you don't like the inner design and that you're experiencing a noise. We appreciate your feedback regarding the water dispenser positioning, along with the space within the doors. The crackling noise you describe typically occurs during the defrosting cycle. It can be much more common in new refrigerators as they acclimate to the humidity and temperature levels of their new home. This is a normal sound, and if your appliance is brand new, we expect this to fade with time. The following link is kindly provided by our US colleagues and contains some guidance regarding noises: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01001032/ Our friendly Support Teams are on hand to assist if you wish to discuss the noise further, and you can find contact details and opening times here: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/contact/ Thank you for taking the time to share your review with us, and we hope the above guidance is useful. ^EW at Samsung Support

Thank you for your feedback regarding your French Style Fridge Freezer, Bob. The intelligent way that it's been designed means that you'll be able to comfortably pack more into it than the exterior suggests. We're happy to take on board your comments regarding the ability to position larger bottles upright in the door, and how the water tank can be filled, as we'll always look for ways to improve everything that we release. It is great to see that you're appreciating the quiet way that it runs, so it's never an unwanted background distraction, and we've every confidence that it will last you for as long as you need it to. ^DB at Samsung Support
