INSTALLING 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. The water line also connects to the ice maker. For the ice maker to operate properly, water pressure of 20 ~ 125psi (138 ~ 862kPa) is required. 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. After you have connected the water line, make sure the water storage tank inside the refrigerator is properly filled. To do this, press the water dispenser lever until water runs from the water dispenser.

  • Water line installation kits are available at extra cost from your dealer. We recommend using a water supply kit that contains copper tubing.
  • Use the new hose-sets supplied with the appliance only. Do not re-use an old hose set. 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 water drinking water

3. Install the pipe clamp and shut off valve.

4. Connect the water line installation kit to the

shut off valve.

2. Tighten the compression nut (B) onto the

compression fitting. Do not over-tighten the compression nut (B).

3. Turn the water on and check for any leaks

inside the refrigerator, around the water filter, and in any connection areas. If you find water drops or leaks, turn off the main water supply. If the leaks are in the connection areas, check the connections and, if necessary, tighten. If there are leaks in the refrigerator, check the water filter and confirm it is in the locked position. Turn on the water supply and check for leaks again.

4. Plug in the refrigerator.

5. Flush 3 gallons of water through the filter before

drinking or using the water from the refrigerator. (Flush approximately 6 minutes.) This will clean the water supply system and remove air from the lines. To flush, press the Water button, and then press a large glass or cup against the water dispenser lever. Fill the glass, empty it into the kitchen sink after it is filled, and then repeat. Additional flushing may be required in some households.

6. Open the refrigerator door and make sure there

are no water leaks coming from the water filter.

  • After you turn on the refrigerator, let the ice maker make ice for 1 to 2 days. Over that period of time, throw out the first 1 or 2 buckets of ice the ice maker makes to ensure all impurities have been removed from the water line.
  • Only connect the water line to a drinkable water source.
  • If you have to repair or disassemble the water line, cut off 1/4“ of the plastic tubing to make sure you get a snug, leak-free connection.
  • You can test the water line quickly using a paper cup. Under normal conditions, the water dispenser can fill a 5.75oz. (170cc) cup in about 10 seconds.

CHANGING THE WATER FILTER

WARNING To reduce risk of water damage to your property DO NOT use generic brands of water filters 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 filter. SAMSUNG Refrigerators are designed to work ONLY WITH SAMSUNG Water Filter. The “Filter Indicator” red LED 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. To make changing the water filter easier, you may want to shut off the water supply, and then drain any water remaining in the water line by pressing a glass against the water dispenser pad.

1. Remove the new water filter from its box and

put a month indicator sticker on the filter as shown. Place a sticker on the filter with a date six months in the future. 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 6 months.

2. Remove the old filter from the filter housing, and

then remove the new filter’s protective cap.

3. Position the new filter, and then inset it into the

filter housing. Slowly turn the water filter clockwise to align the indicator mark on the filter with lock indicator on the filter housing. Make sure to align the water filter label mark with the center of the lock indicator as illustrated above, right. Do not over-tighten. Sticker (month indicator)

Cover filter Align the indicator mark on the filter with the lock indicator on the filter housing. Remove the red cap

4. Once you have completed this process,

hold the “Energy Saver” simultaneously for 3seconds to reset the filter indicator.

5. Turn on the water supply if you turned it off.

6. Flush 3 gallons of water through filter

before drinking or using the water from the refrigerator. This should take about 6 minutes. To flush, press the Water button, and then press a large glass or cup against the water dispenser lever. Fill the glass, empty it into the kitchen sink after it is filled, and then repeat. Make sure that water flows clearly again before drinking. A newly installed water filter cartridge may cause water to briefly spurt from the water dispenser. This is caused by air getting into the line. It should pose no problem to operation. Ordering replacement filters To order more water filter cartridges, contact your authorized Samsung dealer. You can also order replacement filters on line at www.samsungparts.com.

The refrigerator doors are equipped with a door opening and closing feature that ensures that the doors close all the way and are securely sealed. After opening beyond a certain point, the door will “catch” and remain open. When the door is open short of the catch that allows it to stay open, it will close automatically.

  • To Remove the Ice Bucket. - Hold the handle as shown in figure1. - Lift up and pull the Bucket out slowly. - Take out Ice Bucket out slowly to prevent damage. - After reinstalling the ice bucket, select the ICE mode. Figure 1
  • Normal Operation - Any sounds you hear when the ice maker dumps ice into the bucket are part of normal operation. - Ice may clump in the bucket if you do not dispense ice for long periods of time. If this occurs, remove all the ice and empty the bucket. - If ice does not come out, check for any ice stuck in the chute and remove it. - The first batch of ice cubes after installation may be small because air has entered the water line. Any air will be purged during normal use. ice CAUTION
  • When ICE OFF blinks on the display panel, reinsert the ice 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 to spill over the ice maker.
  • To prevent the ice bucket from dropping, 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 the children hang on the ice dispenser or on the bucket. They may get hurt.
  • Be sure not to put your hand or any object into the ice chute. It may cause personal injury or damage mechanical parts.
  • Use care when storing food in plastic bags in the freezer. Incorrectly stored bags can get caught in the ice bucket’s Auger Motor and prevent the refrigerator from dispensing ice or cause the freezer door to open unexpectedly. DA68-02966A-05.indb34 2018.7.9.5:07English - 35 TROUBLESHOOTING 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 too near a heat source?
  • Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall and therefore keeping air from circulating? The food in the fridge is frozen.
  • 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 noise or sounds.
  • 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. The front corners of the appliance are hot and condensation is occurring.
  • 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.
  • Water condensation in a drawer may occur if the drawer contains vegetables. The condensation will dissipate naturally as time passes. Ice is not dispensing.
  • 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? Make sure Ice is set to Cubed or Crushed.
  • Are there any ice clumps in the ice maker bucket? Remove them.
  • 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 refrigerant coolant liquid circulating through the refrigerator. There is a bad smell in 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. 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 door closed properly? The 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. DA68-02966A-05.indb35 2018.7.9.5:07English - 36 PROBLEM SOLUTION What Do I Need to Use the E-Smart and Smart Grid functions?
