  If ice is not dispensing from your Samsung Refrigerator, check the following: Ensure that you waited 12 hours after connecting the water supply line before attempting to make ice. Verify that the water line is connected and the shut-off valve is open. Confirm that the ice-making function hasn't been manually stopped and that 'Ice Type' is set to 'Cubed' or 'Crushed'. Check for any ice blockage within the ice maker bucket and ensure the freezer temperature isn't too warm by setting it lower.

Why do I hear unusual noises from my Samsung Refrigerator?

  othomasSep 4, 2025
  Unusual noises from your Samsung Refrigerator can stem from a few causes. First, make sure the refrigerator is level and stable. Check whether the back of the refrigerator is too close to the wall, impeding air circulation. Also, ensure nothing has fallen behind or under the refrigerator. A 'ticking' sound is normal, resulting from the expansion/contraction of accessories due to temperature changes inside the refrigerator.
