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 of 30 to 120 psi (206 to 827 kPa) is required.

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, 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 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.

Operations

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 (L3) \~ TALR (L4) 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 (Display:L3) or Temporary Appliance Load Reduction (Display:L4) mode.

  • Delay Appliance Load (L3): 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 (L3) mode, "L3" 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 the Peak Demand Off key is pressed.
  • Temporary Appliance Load Reduction (L4): 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 (L4) mode, "L4" is displayed on the refrigerator display.
  • TALR (L4) mode is automatically deactivated after it lasts for the received duration (max. 15 minutes), or when the Peak Demand Off key is pressed. 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.

Special features

Auto ice maker

The refrigerator has a built-in ice maker that automatically dispenses ice so that you can enjoy filtered cubed ice.

Ice making

After you have installed your refrigerator and plugged it in, follow these instructions to ensure proper ice making and to keep the ice bucket full of ice:

  1. Let the refrigerator operate for at least 24 hours to ensure optimal performance.
  2. Dispense the first 4 to 6 ice cubes into a glass.
  3. Wait another 8 hours and dispense another 4 to 6 ice cubes.
  4. Then, wait another 16 hours and dispense the first glass-full of ice.

NOTE

  • If you consume all the ice at once, you must wait 8 hours before dispensing the first 4 to 6 cubes. This ensures that the ice bucket is filled with ice properly.
  • Ice cubes generated rapidly may look white, which is normal.

Diagnosis

SAMSUNG RS23A500SS - Diagnosis - 1

natural_image Technical line drawing of an engine component with an arrow indicating a specific part (no text or symbols present)

If ice does not dispense, first check the ice maker.

  1. Press Test on the bottom of the ice maker. You will hear a chime (ding-dong) when you press the button.
  2. You will hear another chime if the ice maker is operating properly.

CAUTION

  • If the ice making chime rings repeatedly, contact your waterline installer or a local Samsung service center.
  • Do not press Test repeatedly after the ice tray is filled with ice or water. Water may overflow or ice may jam.
  • 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 so the ice bucket can refill with fresh, loose ice cubes.
  • Do not put fingers or any objects into the ice maker. This can cause physical injury or property damage.
  • When reinserting the ice maker tray, make sure that the tray is properly centered at the entrance. Otherwise, the tray can get stuck.

Operations

If You Turn the Ice Maker Off

If you press Ice Maker to turn the ice maker off, make sure to remove all ice cubes from the ice bucket. Remaining ice cubes may clump together, making it difficult to remove them.

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.
