  If your Samsung Refrigerator isn't cooling properly or seems warm, there are several possible reasons. First, ensure the power cord is correctly plugged in. Next, check the temperature control and set it to a lower setting if needed. Also, make sure the refrigerator isn't near a heat source or in direct sunlight. Ensure there's at least 2.5 inches (5 cm) of space between the refrigerator's back and sides and any walls or cabinets. Finally, avoid overloading the refrigerator and ensure food isn't blocking the vents.
