Why is my Samsung Refrigerator fridge/freezer not working and the temperature is warm?

  If your Samsung Refrigerator's fridge or freezer isn't working and the temperature is too warm, there are several potential causes. First, ensure the power cord is properly plugged in. If that's not the issue, the temperature control might not be set correctly, so try setting it lower. Also, check the refrigerator's location; it should be away from direct sunlight or heat sources, and have at least 5 cm of clearance from the rear and sides. Make sure that the Vacation function is deactivated. Overloading the refrigerator or blocking the vents with food can also cause this issue, so avoid doing that.

Why is the interior wall of my Samsung RB3 C Refrigerator hot?

  Patrick StevensAug 27, 2025
  The interior wall of your Samsung Refrigerator may feel hot because it has heat-proof piping in the front corners to prevent condensation. This is normal and not a system failure, but if the ambient temperature rises, this equipment may not work effectively.
