  If your Samsung Refrigerator's fridge or freezer isn't operating and the temperature is warm, start by ensuring the power cord is properly plugged in. Next, check the temperature control and set it lower if needed. Also, make sure the refrigerator isn't near a heat source or in direct sunlight. Ensure there's at least a 5 cm gap between the refrigerator and nearby walls or cabinets. Deactivate Energy Saver mode and avoid overloading the refrigerator, making sure food doesn't block the vents.

  If water isn't dispensing from your Samsung Refrigerator, first, check that the water line is correctly connected and the water supply is turned on. Deactivate the Dispenser panel Lock if it's activated. If you've installed a third-party water filter, replace it with a Samsung-provided or approved filter to prevent leaks and damage. Lastly, if the water filter indicator is on or blinking, replace the water filter and reset the filter indicator sensor.

  If your Samsung Refrigerator's ice maker isn't making ice, first, remember that it takes about 12 hours for a newly installed ice maker to start producing ice. If the freezer temperature is too high, set it below -18 °C or -20 °C, especially in warm environments. Also, check if the dispenser panel lock is activated and deactivate it if necessary. Finally, ensure that the ice maker is turned on.
