  If your Samsung Refrigerator is freezing food, try adjusting the temperature control on the display to a warmer setting. Also, consider whether the room temperature is too low. Another factor could be where you're storing the food; items with high water content should be moved from the coldest part of the refrigerator, like the Cool Select Pantry™, to the main section.

  If the water dispenser on your Samsung Refrigerator isn't working, first, check that the water line is properly connected and the shut-off valve is open. Next, inspect the water supply line tubing for any crushing or kinks that might be obstructing the water flow. Finally, if the refrigerator temperature is set too low, it could be freezing the water tank; try selecting a warmer setting on the main display panel.

Why does my Samsung RF26DEUS make unusual noises?
- A
  Aaron IngramSep 3, 2025
  Unusual noises from your Samsung Refrigerator can often be addressed by ensuring the refrigerator is level and stable. Also, check that the back of the refrigerator isn't too close to the wall, which can restrict air circulation. Make sure nothing has dropped behind or under the refrigerator. A 'ticking' sound is normal, caused by accessories contracting or expanding with temperature changes.

Why are the front corners of my Samsung RF26DEUS Refrigerator hot and causing condensation?

  Tina OwensSep 10, 2025
  Some heat on the front corners and vertical hinged section of your Samsung Refrigerator is normal because anti-condensators are installed to prevent condensation. However, condensation can also occur if the refrigerator door is left ajar for an extended period.
