Checking the water dispenser line (optional) A water dispenser is just 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 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.
Setting up To refit the ice bucket • 90° • • Assemble it in the reverse order of disassembly. Push the bucket in firmly until you hear a clicking sound. When the bucket does not fit into its place, turn the gear handle on its back by 90 degrees and reinstall it again as shown in figure 2. Figure2 Setting up Normal operation • • • Ice Chute • Any sounds you hear when the ice maker dumps ice into the bucket are part of normal operation.
CAUTION • • • • • • • Setting up • When ICE OFF blinks on the display panel, reinsert the bucket and/or make sure it’s installed properly. When the door is open, the Ice and water dispenser do not work. If you close the door hard, it may cause water spilling over the ice maker. To prevent dropping the ice bucket, use both hands when removing it. To prevent injury, be sure to clean up any ice or water that may have dropped on the floor. Do not let children hang on the ice dispenser or on the bucket.

Troubleshooting Problem Action • • • The refrigerator does not work at all or it does not chill sufficiently. • • • The food in the fridge is frozen. • • • • You hear unusual noises or sounds. Troubleshooting The front corners of the appliance are hot and condensation is occurring. • • • • 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.
Problem Action • Ice is not dispensing. • • • • You can hear water bubbling in the refrigerator. There is a bad smell in the refrigerator. • 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 food.
Troubleshooting Problem Action • • Water dispenser is not functioning. • • 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. Check if the filter is properly installed. If it is not properly installed, the water dispenser may not work.
