Reverse osmosis water filtration system

The water pressure of the water supply system to a reverse osmosis water filtration system must be between 206-861 kPa.

The water pressure of the reverse osmosis water filtration system to the refrigerator's cold water line must be at least 206 kPa. If the water pressure is below these specifications:

• Check if the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.
• Refill the water tank in the reverse osmosis system with water.
• 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.

For more information or servicing, contact a licensed plumbing professional.

Ordering a new filter

To purchase a new water filter, contact a local Samsung service center.

LED Lamps

To replace the lamps of the refrigerator, contact a local Samsung service center.

WARNING

- The lamps are not user-serviceable. Do not attempt to replace a lamp yourself. This can cause electric shock.

Troubleshooting

Do you hear abnormal sounds from the refrigerator?

Before calling for service, review the checkpoints below. Any service calls related to normal sounds will be charged to the user.

These sounds are normal.

- When starting or ending an operation, the refrigerator may make sounds similar to a car engine igniting. As the operation stabilizes, the sounds will decrease.

Clicking! or Chirping! Buzzing!

- While the fan is operating, these sounds may occur. When the refrigerator reaches the set temperature, no fan sound will occur.

SSSRRR! Whir!

- During a defrost cycle, water may drip on the defrost heater, causing sizzling sounds.

HiSS!

English72-

- As the refrigerator cools or freezes, refrigerant gas moves through sealed pipes, causing bubbling sounds.

Bubbling!

- As the refrigerator temperature increases or decreases, plastic parts contract and expand, creating knocking noises. These noises occur during the defrosting cycle or when electronic parts are working.

Cracking!

• For ice maker models: When the water valve opens to fill the ice maker, buzzing sounds may occur.
• Due to pressure equalizing when opening and closing the refrigerator door, whooshing sounds may occur.
