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
filter 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 filled in 10
seconds.
If the Refrigerator is installed in an area with low
water pressure (below 20psi), you can install a
booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.
Make sure the water storage tank inside the
Refrigerator is properly filled.
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.

Check the accessory list below.

WARNING

property DO NOT use generic brands of
water filers in your SAMSUNG Refrigerator.
USE ONLY SAMSUNG BRAND WATER
FILTERS.

SAMSUNG will not be legally responsible for any
damage, including, but not limited to property
damage caused by water leakage from use of a
generic water filter.
SAMSUNG Refrigerators are designed to work
ONLY WITH SAMSUNG Water Filter.
The “Filter Indicator” icon lets you know when it is
time to change your water filter cartridge.
To give you preparation time to get a new filter, the
red light will come on just before the capacity of
the current filter runs out.
Changing the filter on time provides you with the
freshest, cleanest water from your fridge.

1. Turn the water filter 90˚
counter-clockwise.

02 OPERATING

2. Turn the water filter 90˚
counter-clockwise.

Do not use excessive force when removing
the drawer cover.
Otherwise, the cover may break and cause
injury.

3. Insert new water filter inside
the filter housing.

Before removing any accessories, make
sure that no food is in the way.
When possible, remove the food
altogether to reduce the risk of accidents.

English - 85

DA68-02500B-13.indb 85 13. 12. 4. �� 7:12

4. Insert new water filter inside
the filter housing.

5. When the replacement is done, press and hold
the ‘Reset the water filter’ simultaneously for 3
or more seconds at the center of the screen.
(Refer to the “WATER FILTER” part on this
manual.)

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
filter

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.

3. Additional flushing may be required in some
households.

4. Open the refrigerator door and make sure there
are no water leaks coming from the water filter.

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 filtration 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, qualified plumber.

Ordering replacement filters

To order more water filter cartridges, contact your
authorized Samsung dealer.

troubleshooting

PROBLEM SOLUTION

The refrigerator
does not work at
all or it does not
chill sufficiently.

Food in the fridge
is frozen.

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.

Display does not
work!

• 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 food with a high water content in the coldest part of the fridge?

• 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?

• If you hear a “ticking” sound from inside the refrigerator, this is normal. It occurs
because various parts contract or expand in response to temperature changes in 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-off valve open?

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

• Are there ice cubes frozen together in 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 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 sufficient space between the foods stored for efficient air circulation.

• Is the freezer door closed properly?

• Is the water line connected and the shut-off 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.

• Press the Reset button over one second to reset the memory.
With this, the user information is not to be reset.

• At the Settings-Display, the Screensaver Running Time can be set.

• Still images can cause permanent damage to the LCD screen. When you select
Screensavers, select a number of themes so the image changes frequently.
NOTE : Defects caused by this are not be covered by the factory warranty.

• Run the Touch Screen Calibration function at the Settings.

• Check if the power for the wireless AP is on.

• Check if the wireless AP supports IEEE802.11b/g/n.

• If the wireless AP is located away from the Fridge, move the wireless AP closer to the
Fridge and check if it is detected.

• Turn the power of both the Wireless AP and the Fridge off and on.

• Check if the wireless AP supports IEEE802.11b/g/n.

• Check the status of the internet connection of the wireless AP.

• Check if the current cost rate plan for the internet covers the wireless network
connection. If it does, check how many connections are allowed.

• Your Refrigerator may not be able to connect to the Internet because your ISP has
permanently registered the MAC address (a unique identifying number) of your PC or
modem, which it then authenticates each time you connect to the Internet as a way
of preventing unauthorized access.
As your Refrigerator has a different MAC address, your ISP can not authenticate its
MAC address, and your Refrigerator can not connect.
To resolve this problem, ask your ISP about the procedures required to connect
devices other than a PC (such as your Refrigerator) to the Internet.
(To find the MAC address of your Fridge, touch Settings ---> WiFi Networks, and then
look on the bottom of the screen that lists the available network connections.)

• Turn the power of both the Wireless AP and the Fridge off and on.

• Refer to the wireless AP manual and reset the password.

• Functions using the wireless network (Wi-Fi) such as Epicurious, Calendar,
WeatherBug, AP News, Pandora and Twitter can be used only if the refrigerator is
connected to your wireless network (Wi-Fi).

• If there are any other devices connected to the wireless network, please check the
connection status of the devices.

• Because these services depend on data downloaded from the internet, the
information updates can be delayed or cut depending on the status of the internet
connection.

• Turn the power of both the Wireless AP and the Fridge off and on.

CONSEJOS ADICIONALES PARA
UN USO CORRECTO

• En el caso de un fallo de corriente, llame a la
oficina local de su compañía eléctrica y solicite
información sobre la duración de la interrupción
del suministro.

• La mayoría de los cortes de electricidad que
se solucionan en una o dos horas no afectan
a la temperatura del refrigerador. Sin embargo,
mientras el aparato esté sin corriente abra la
puerta lo menos posible.

- Si el fallo de corriente supera las 2 horas, quite
todo el hielo del depósito del hielo.

- Si el fallo de corriente supera las 24 horas,
saque todos los alimentos congelados.

Recomendaciones para el ahorro de
energía

- Instale el refrigerador en un ambiente fresco y
seco con la ventilación adecuada.
Asegúrese de que no esté expuesto a la luz
solar directa y nunca lo coloque cerca de una
fuente de calor directa (como por ejemplo un
radiador).

- Nunca obstruya las ventilaciones ni las rejillas
del refrigerador.

- Deje enfriar los alimentos calientes antes de
colocarlos en el electrodoméstico.

- Coloque los alimentos congelados en el
refrigerador para descongelarlos.
Puede utilizar las temperaturas bajas de
los productos congelados para enfriar los
alimentos en el refrigerador.

- No mantenga la puerta del refrigerador abierta
durante mucho tiempo cuando coloque o retire
alimentos. Cuanto menor sea el tiempo en que
esté abierta la puerta, menos hielo se formará
en el congelador.

- Cuando realice la instalación, deje un espacio
libre a la derecha, izquierda, atrás y arriba del
refrigerador.
Esto ayudará a reducir tanto el consumo como
el gasto de energía.
