Why is my Samsung RF265 not cooling properly?
- J
  Jesus HillAug 18, 2025
  There are several reasons why your Samsung Refrigerator might not be cooling properly. It could be due to the power cord not being plugged in correctly, so ensure it is properly plugged in. The temperature control might not be set low enough, so try setting it lower. The refrigerator might be located near a heat source or direct sunlight; keep it away from these. Insufficient clearance between the refrigerator and nearby walls or cabinets can also cause this, so ensure there is at least a 5 cm gap. Finally, overloading the refrigerator or food blocking the vents can also lead to this issue; avoid overloading and ensure proper ventilation.

  Tina RamirezAug 20, 2025
  If water is not dispensing from your Samsung Refrigerator, check the water installation conditions to ensure the water line is properly connected and the water supply is on. Also, make sure the Dispenser Lock is deactivated. If you have installed a third-party water filter, replace it with a Samsung-provided or approved filter, as unapproved filters may leak and damage the refrigerator. Finally, if the water filter indicator is on or blinking, replace the water filter and reset the filter indicator sensor.

Why is my Samsung Refrigerator ice maker not making ice?

  Colin WilliamsAug 23, 2025
  If your Samsung Refrigerator's ice maker isn't producing ice, it could be due to a few reasons. If the ice maker has just been installed, you need to wait 12 hours for it to make ice. Check if the freezer temperature is too low and set it below -18 °C or -20 °C in warm, ambient air. Ensure that the Dispenser Lock is deactivated. Also, verify that the ice maker is turned on.

  If ice is not dispensing from your Samsung Refrigerator, it may be jammed if the ice dispenser hasn't been used for about 3 weeks. If you won't be using the refrigerator for a long time, empty the ice bucket and turn off the ice maker. Also, check that the ice bucket is properly inserted. Finally, make sure the water line is connected properly and the water supply is on.
