Why is my Samsung Refrigerator not cooling?

K
Krista CarterAug 4, 2025
Your Samsung Refrigerator may not be cooling due to several reasons: the power cord might not be properly plugged in, so ensure it is securely connected. The temperature control may be set incorrectly; try setting it to a lower temperature. The refrigerator might be 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 issue; ensure there's more than 50 mm of space. Finally, overloading the refrigerator or blocking the vents with food can prevent proper cooling; avoid overloading and ensure vents are clear.
