CHECKING THE WATER
DISPENSER LINE
A water dispenser is one of the helpful features on
your new Samsung Refrigerator. To help promote
better health, the Samsung water fi lter removes
unwanted particles from your water. However, it
does not sterilize or destroy microorganisms. You
may need to purchase a water purifying system to
do that.
In order for the ice maker to operate properly, a
water pressure of 20~125 psi (pound per square
inch) is required. Under normal conditions, a
170 cc (5.75 oz.) paper cup can be fi lled in 10
seconds.
If the Refrigerator is installed in an area with low
water pressure (below 20psi), you can install
a booster pump to compensate for the low
pressure.
Make sure the water storage tank inside the
Refrigerator is properly fi lled. To do this, press the
water dispenser lever until the water runs from the
water outlet.
Water line installation kits are available
at extra cost from your dealer. We
recommend using a water supply kit that
contains copper tubing.

CHANGING THE WATER
FILTER
To reduce risk of water damage to your
WARNING
property DO NOT use generic brands of
water filers in your SAMSUNG Refrigerator.
USE ONLY SAMSUNG BRAND WATER
FILTERS.
SAMSUNG is not legally responsible for any
damage, including, but not limited to property
damage caused by water leakage from the use of
a generic water fi lter.
SAMSUNG Refrigerators are designed to work
ONLY WITH SAMSUNG Water Filters.
The “Filter Indicator” light lets you know when it is
time to change your water fi lter cartridge. To give
you preparation time to get a new fi lter, the red
light will come on just before the capacity of the
current fi lter runs out. Changing the fi lter on time
provides you with the freshest, cleanest water
from your fridge.
To change the water fi lter, follow these steps:
A newly installed water filter cartridge
may cause water to briefly spurt from the
water dispenser. This is due to air getting
into the line. It should pose no problem to
operation.
Removing residual matter inside the
water supply line after installing a
new fi lter
1. Press the Water button, and then push the
Dispenser Lever with a cup or glass.
2. Flush 1 gallon of water through the filter, one
cup or glass at a time. (Flush approximately
6 minutes.) This will clean the water supply
system and remove air from the lines.
- Additional flushing may be required in some
households.
3. Open the refrigerator door and make sure
there are no water leaks coming from the
water filter.
02 OPERATING
1. Turn the water
filter 90˚ counterclockwise.
2. Pull the water
filter from the filter
housing.
3. Insert new water
filter inside the filter
housing.
4. Turn the new water
filter 90˚ clockwise.
5. Press the “Alarm/hold 3 sec for Filter Reset”

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply
IMPORTANT : The pressure of the water supply
coming out of a reverse osmosis system going to
the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be
between 35 and 120 psi (241 and 827 kPa).
If a reverse osmosis water fi ltration system is
connected to your cold water supply, the water
pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to
be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa.)
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis
system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):
• Check to see whether the sediment filter in the
reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace
the filter if necessary.
• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis
system to refill after heavy usage.
• If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may
further reduce the water pressure when used
in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system.
Remove the water filter.
If you have questions about your water pressure,
call a licensed, qualifi ed plumber.
Ordering replacement fi lters
To order more water fi lter cartridges, contact your
authorized Samsung dealer.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM SOLUTION
The refrigerator
does not work
at all or it
does not chill
suciently.
The food in the
fridge is frozen.
• 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?
• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall and therefore keeping air from
circulating?
• 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?
You hear
unusual noises
or sounds.
The front
corners of
the appliance
are hot and
condensation is
occurring.
Ice is not
dispensing.
You can
hear water
bubbling in the
refrigerator.
There is a bad
smell in the
refrigerator.
Frost forms on
the walls of the
freezer.
Water
dispenser is not
functioning.
• 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.
• Did you wait at least 12 hours after installation of the water supply line before making
ice?
• Is the water line connected and the shut-o 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.
• 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, fish) is wrapped so that it is airtight.
• Clean out your freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or suspect food.
• Is the air vent blocked? Remove any obstructions so air can circulate freely.
• Allow sucient space between the foods stored for ecient air circulation.
• Is the freezer door closed properly?
• Is the water line connected and the shut-o valve open?
• Has the water supply line tubing been crushed or kinked? Make sure the tubing is free
and clear of any obstruction.
• Is the water tank frozen because the refrigerator temperature is too low? Try selecting a
warmer setting on the main display panel.
