  If your Samsung Refrigerator is not dispensing water, there are a few things to check. First, make sure the water line is properly connected and the water supply is turned on.

  If your Samsung Refrigerator's ice maker isn't producing ice, consider these possibilities: If the refrigerator was just installed, allow 12 hours for ice production to begin. Ensure the freezer temperature is set below 0 °F (-18 °C), or -4 °F (-20 °C) in warmer conditions. Also, verify that the ice maker is turned on.

  If ice is not dispensing from your Samsung Refrigerator, it could be due to a few reasons. If the ice dispenser hasn't been used for about 3 weeks, the ice may be jammed. If you won't be using the refrigerator for an extended period, empty the ice bucket and turn off the ice maker. Also, make sure the ice bucket is properly inserted. Finally, check if the water line is correctly installed and the water supply is on.
