Checking the water dispenser line (optional)

Figure1

A water dispenser is just one of the helpful features on your new Samsung refrigerator.
To help promote better health, the Samsung water lter removes unwanted particles
from your water. However, it does not sterilize or destroy microorganisms. You will need
to purchase a water purifying system to do that. In order for the icemaker to operate
properly, water pressure of 138 ~862 kPa is required. Under normal conditions, a 170 cc
paper cup can be lled in 10 seconds. If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low
water pressure (below 138 kPa), you can install a booster pump to compensate for the low
pressure. Make sure the water storage tank inside the refrigerator is properly lled. To
do this, press the water dispenser lever until the water runs from the water outlet. When
using the Water Dispenser, Slight noises can be generated from supplying water.

NOTE

Water Line installation Kits are included. You can nd it in one of the freezer drawers.

property damage caused by water leakage from use of a generic water lter.
SAMSUNG Refrigerators are designed to work ONLY WITH SAMSUNG Water Filter.

The “Filter Indicator” light lets you know when it is time to change your water lter
cartridge.
When the lter indicator light changes to red, it is time to change the lter.
To give you some time to get a new lter, the light will come on up just before the
capacity of the current lter runs out.
Changing the lter on time provides you with the freshest, cleanest water from your
fridge.

Troubleshooting

Problem Action

• Check that the power plug is properly connected.

• Is the temperature control on the display panel set to the
correct temperature? Try setting it to a lower temperature.

• Is the refrigerator in direct sunlight or located too near a
heat source?
If so, it may not be able to cool sufciently. Install it in a

The refrigerator

or it does not chill
sufciently.

location that is out of direct sunlight and not near a heat
source.

• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall,
preventing proper ventilation?
If so, it may not be able to cool sufcientlyl. Keep it an
appropriate distance from the wall.

• Is there too much food inside so that the food is blocking
the outlet vent?
To keep the refrigerator at a suitable temperature, do not ll
the refrigerator with too much food.

Troubleshooting

The food in the fridge
is frozen.

You hear unusual
noises or sounds.

The front corners of
the appliance are hot
and condensation is
occurring.

• Is the temperature control on the display panel set to the
correct temperature? Try setting it to a warmer temperature.

• Is the temperature in the room very low?

• Did you store the food with a high water content in the
coldest part of the fridge? Try moving those items into the
body of the fridge instead of keeping them in the CoolSelect
Zone™ drawer.

• Check that the refrigerator is level and stable.

• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall and
therefore keeping air from circulating?

• Was anything dropped behind or under the refrigerator?

• A “ticking” sound is heard from inside the refrigerator.
This is normal and occurs because various accessories are
contracting or expanding in relation to the temperature of
the refrigerator interior.

• Some heat is normal as anti-condensators are installed
in the front corners of the refrigerator to prevent
condensation.

• Is the refrigerator door ajar? Condensation can occur when
you leave the door open for a long time.

Problem Action

Ice is not dispensing.

• Did you wait for 12 hours after installation of the water
supply line before making ice?
It may take longer to make ice if it is not sufciently cool,
such as when rst installed.

• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve open?

• Did you manually stop the ice making function? Make sure
Ice Type is set to Cubed or Crushed.

• Is there any ice blocked within the ice maker bucket?

• Is the freezer temperature too warm? Try setting the freezer
temperature lower.

You can hear water
bubbling in the
refrigerator.

There is a bad smell
in the refrigerator.

Frost forms on the
walls of the freezer.

• This is normal. The bubbling comes from the refrigerant
coolant liquid circulating through the refrigerator.

• Has a food item spoiled?

• Make sure that strong smelling food (for example, sh) is
wrapped so that it is airtight.

• Clean out your freezer periodically and throw away any
spoiled food.
When cleaning the inside of the fridge, store food elsewhere
and unplug the appliance. Wipe with a dry dishcloth after
2-3 hours and then circulate air inside the refrigerator.

• Is the air vent blocked? Remove any obstructions so air can
circulate freely.

• Allow sufcient space between the foods stored for efcient
air circulation.

• Is the freezer drawer closed properly?
If the freezer drawer is not completely closed or is blocked,
humidity from outside may enter and cause severe frost to
form.
