Your Samsung Refrigerator may not be cooling due to several reasons. First, ensure 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 direct sunlight. Ensure there's at least 5 cm of clearance between the refrigerator and nearby walls or cabinets. Finally, avoid overloading the refrigerator and ensure food isn't blocking the vents.
