STEP 6 Connect the water dispenser line

A water dispenser with a filter is one of the helpful features on your new refrigerator. To help promote better health, the 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 must be between 30-125 psi (206-861 kPa).

If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 30 psi / 206 kPa), you can install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.

After you have connected the water line, check if the water dispenser works properly. Press the water dispenser lever until the water runs from the water outlet.

NOTE

  • Water line installation kits are available at extra cost from your retailer. We recommend using a water line installation kit that contains copper tubing and a 1/4'' (6 mm) compression nut.

SAMSUNG RF23A9071SG - NOTE - 1

  1. Shut off the main water source.
  2. Insert the pipe clamp (B) and the shutoff valve (C) into the cold water line (A).

SMART GRID Function (Demand Response, applicable models only)

When the refrigerator operates in SMART GRID (Demand Response) mode, the Energy Management Refrigerator function can control energy usage or delay the operation of some functions to save money when energy prices or demand are the highest.

NOTE

  • You can deactivate the SMART GRID (Demand Response) function at any time using the Peak Demand Off function.
  • To use the SMART GRID (Demand Response) function, you need a separate contract with your electric utility company.

In addition, to use the Smart Grid (Demand Response) function, you must register for the service with your electric company. The company must have an EMS (Energy Management System) that supports SEP (Smart Energy profile).

Using the SMART GRID (Demand Response) Function

This feature monitors energy prices and demand information from your utility company and sends notifications to the refrigerator to run high energy consuming tasks during off-peak times when electricity costs and demand are lower.

If the refrigerator receives a control signal from the utility company, the refrigerator will display the DAL TALR levels on the refrigerator display and control the power consumption according to the level.

[Exception condition] The DAL and TALR control signals from a utility company work as long as product performance is maintained.

If the refrigerator receives the SMART GRID (Demand Response) signal (DAL or TALR), the refrigerator will operate in Delay Appliance Load (DAL) or Temporary Appliance Load Reduction (TALR) mode.

  • Delay Appliance Load (DAL): The refrigerator responds to a DAL signal by providing a moderate load reduction for the duration of the delay period. This function controls functions that consume a lot of energy such as adjusting the Cooling system, running the defrost cycle, and making ice.

  • When the refrigerator operates in DAL mode, "DAL" is displayed on the refrigerator display.

  • DAL mode is automatically deactivated after it lasts for the amount of time stipulated by the DAL signal (max. 4.5 hours) or when you turn off the Peak Demand function.

English50

  • Temporary Appliance Load Reduction (TALR): The refrigerator responds to a TALR signal by aggressively reducing the load for a short time period. This function reduces energy consumption by stopping the compressor and controlling the functions that consume a lot of energy such as the defrost cycle and making ice.

  • When the refrigerator operates in TALR mode, "TALR" is displayed on the refrigerator display.

  • TALR mode is automatically deactivated after it lasts for the received duration (max. 15 minutes), or when you turn off the Peak Demand function. The mode is immediately deactivated and the refrigerator returns to the normal state when the door is opened or closed, or the dispenser is used.

Peak Demand Off

When you want the refrigerator to ignore the SMART GRID (Demand Response) signal from the utility company, you can turn off the Peak Demand function.

When you turn off the Peak Demand function, the refrigerator ignores the SMART GRID (Demand Response) signal and is not controlled by the utility company.

Turning on or off the Peak Demand function

  • You must clean the water pitcher after you have consumed the infused water. You must also clean the water pitcher if you have not used it for a long time or left the full pitcher for more than three days.
  • If the infuser is not properly cleaned, the scent of the tea or fruits you previously used in the infuser may remain. If you are not going to use the infuser, separate it from the pitcher and store it safely.
  • If you have not used the water filter for a long time, pour away the first two pitchers of water. Then, clean the water pitcher thoroughly and use it.

Operations

Water dispenser (applicable models only)

SAMSUNG RF23A9071SG - Water dispenser (applicable models only) - 1

To dispense chilled water, open the Beverage Center and press the dispenser lever.

NOTE

  • The dispenser will stop dispensing if you keep pushing the dispenser lever for about 1 minute. To dispense more water, release and push the lever again.
  • Make sure the glass is in line with the dispenser to prevent the dispensed water from spilling out.
  • If you do not use the water dispenser for 2-3 days, the dispensed water may have an abnormal smell or taste. This is not a system failure. Discard the first 1-2 glasses of water.

Water clouding

Water supplied to the refrigerator flows through a core alkaline filter. During this filtering process, the water pressure of the water increases and the water becomes saturated with oxygen and nitrogen. This causes the water to look misty or cloudy temporarily when dispensed. This is normal and the water will look clear after a few seconds.

English58

Ice maker

The refrigerator has a built-in ice maker that automatically dispenses ice.

  • The overall design and/or accessories may differ with the model.

SAMSUNG RF23A9071SG - Diagnosis - 2

Operations

CAUTION

  • Leaving the water line disconnected may cause the water valve to produce a buzzing sound over time. If this is the case, make sure to turn the ice making function (Cubed Ice / Ice Bites) off.
  • If the ice making chime rings repeatedly, contact the waterline installer or a local Samsung service center.
  • Do not put food in the ice bucket. The frozen food may damage the ice maker, especially when you open or close the door.
  • When the refrigerator recovers power after a power failure, the ice bucket may contain a mix of melted and jammed ice cubes, which can prevent the ice maker from working properly. To prevent this, make sure to empty the ice bucket before using the refrigerator.
  • Do not put fingers or any objects into the ice maker. This can cause physical injury or property damage.
  • Due to sublimation, ice stored in the freezer for a long time gets smaller and then forms large ice chunks. Therefore, if it will be a long time before you use ice, turn the ice maker off as follows.
  • Use the new hose-sets supplied with the appliance only. Do not re-use an old hose set.
