CHeCKing tHe wAteR DisPenseR Line
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 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 20psi), 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.
Connecting to the water supply line
1. First, shut off the main water supply line and turn the ice-maker off.
2. Locate the nearest cold, drinking water line.
3. After connecting the water supply to the water filter, turn your main water supply back on and flush four
or more gallons into a bucket to clear and prime the water filter.

3. Tighten the compression nut onto the compression fitting. Do not over-tighten the compression nut .
4. Turn water on and check for any leakage.
Only connect the water line to a drinkable water source.

to replace in September. That way you’ll know when it
is time to replace the filter. Normally, a filter life is about

The Freezer temperature can be set between 8°F and -14°F to suit your particular needs. Press the
Freezer button repeatedly until the desired temperature is shown in the temperature display. Keep in
mind that foods like ice cream may melt at 4°F.
The temperature display will move sequentially from -14°F to 8°F. When the display reaches 8°F, it will
begin again at -14°F.
Five seconds after the new temperature is set, the display will again show the actual current freezer
temperature until the new temperature is reached.
Controlling the Refrigerator temperature
The Refrigerator temperature can be set between 46°F and 34°F to suit your particular needs. Press
the Fridge button repeatedly until the desired temperature is shown in the temperature display.
The temperature control process for the Fridge works just like the Freezer process.
Press the Fridge button to set your desired temperature. After a few seconds, the Fridge will begin
adjusting towards the newly set temperature. This will be reflected in the digital display.
The temperature of the Freezer or the Refrigerator may rise from opening the doors too frequently, or if a
large amount of warm or hot food is placed in either side.
This may cause the digital display to blink. Once the Freezer and Refrigerator temperature return to their
normal set temperatures, the blinking will stop.
If the blinking continues, you may need to “reset” the Refrigerator. Try unplugging the appliance, wait for
around 10 minutes and then plug the power cord back in.

Caring for your Samsung French Door Refrigerator prolongs the life of your appliance and helps
keep it odor and germ-free.
Cleaning the interior
Clean the inside walls and accessories with a mild
detergent and then wipe dry with a soft cloth. You can
remove the drawers and shelves for a more thorough
cleaning. Just make sure to dry drawers and shelves
before putting them back into place.
Cleaning the exterior
Wipe the digital panel and display panel with a clean,
soft cloth. Spray water onto the cleaning cloth instead
of spraying directly on the surface of the Refrigerator.
It helps ensure an even distribution of moisture to the
surface. The doors, handles and cabinet surfaces should
be cleaned with a mild detergent and then wiped dry with
a soft cloth. To keep your appliance looking its best, the
exterior should be polished once or twice a year.
Do not use Benzene, Thinner or Clorox for cleaning. They may
damage the surface of the appliance and may cause fire.

The “Filter Indicator” light 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. Take a new water filter and put a month indicator sticker on the filter as shown.
The date on the sticker must be six months from the current date. For example, if you are replacing
the water filter in March, put the “SEP” (September) sticker on the filter to remind you to replace in
September. Normal filter life is about every 6 months.
2. Remove the new filter’s protective cap and remove the old filter.
3. Position and insert the new filter into the filter housing.
Slowly turn the water filter clockwise to align with the printing mark on the cover, locking the filter in
position. Make sure to align the water filter label mark with the center of cover filter printing as illustrated.
Remember, do not over-tighten.

4. Once you have completed this process, hold the Fridge + Power Cool button simultaneously for 3
seconds to reset the filter schedule.
5. Lastly, run about six glassfuls of water through water dispenser to clean the water supply system.
Make sure that water flows clearly again before drinking.
Be sure to flush the dispenser thoroughly or water may drip from the dispenser.
This is due to the fact that there is still air in the line.
Do NOT use the water or ice dispenser without a water filter cartridge because the water line may
become blocked.
ordering replacement water Filter
For replacement waster filter you can visit your local service center or contact the Samsung Parts distributor.
Be sure the replacement water filter has the SAMSUNG logo on the box and the water filter.

Troubleshooting
PRoBLeM
soLution
The Refrigerator does not work at all
or it does not chill sufficiently.
• 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 near a heat source?
• Is the back of the Refrigerator too close to the wall and therefore keeping air from
circulation?
The food in the
Refrigerator is frozen.
• Is the temperature control on the display set to the correct temperature?
Try setting it to a warmer temperature.
• Is the temperature in the room too low?
• Did you store the food with high water content in the coldest part of the
Refrigerator? Try moving those items into the body of the Refrigerator instead of
keeping them in the Cool Select Pantry™.
You hear unusual noise or sounds.
• Check that the Refrigerator is level and stable.
• Is the back of the Refrigerator too close 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. It is normal and occurs
because various accessories are contracting or expanding in relation to the
temperature of the Refrigerator interior.
The front corners and vertical hinged
section of the appliance are hot and
condensation is occurring.
• Some heat is normal as anti-condensators are installed in the vertical hinged section
of the Refrigerator to prevent condensation.
• Is the Refrigerator door ajar? Condensation can occur when you leave the door open
for a long time.
Ice is not harvesting.
• Did you wait for 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?
• Is the Freezer temperature too warm? Try setting the Freezer temperature lower.
You can hear water bubbling in the
Refrigerator.
• This is normal. The bubbling comes from the Refrigerator coolant liquid circulating
through the Refrigerator.
There is a bad smell in the Refrigerator. • Check for spoiled food.
• Foods with strong odors(for example, fish) should be tightly covered.
• Clean out your Freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or suspect food.
Frost forms on the walls of the Freezer. • 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 drawer closed properly?
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.
