Overview
The Samsung RF18A5101SR/AA is a 33 inch wide, counter depth, 17.5 cu ft French door refrigerator with a three door layout and WiFi connectivity. It targets kitchens that want a built-in look without a full built-in installation.
Counter depth models trade some interior volume for a flush cabinet line, and this Samsung keeps that tradeoff while adding WiFi alerts for open doors or power loss and independent fridge and freezer cooling through Twin Cooling Plus.
- 33 inch wide, 17.5 cu ft counter depth capacity
- WiFi connectivity with door and power alerts
- Twin Cooling Plus independent climate control
- Fingerprint-resistant stainless finish
Who it's for
Suits kitchens replacing an existing counter depth fridge where cabinet depth is fixed and a built-in look matters more than maximum interior space. Buyers wanting a full-depth fridge with more storage should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Counter depth doors sit flush with cabinetry
- WiFi alerts for power loss or an open door
- Twin Cooling Plus runs fridge and freezer independently
- Energy Star certified

Frequently asked questions
How wide is the Samsung RF18A5101SR/AA?
It measures 33 inches wide, which some buyers say reads narrower than expected against a 35 inch cutout, so confirm the opening first.
Does this Samsung fridge connect to WiFi?
Yes, it sends notifications if the temperature rises from a power outage or a door is left open.
Is this a counter depth or standard depth refrigerator?
It is counter depth, built to sit flush with surrounding cabinetry rather than protrude past the counter edge.
