  There are several possible reasons why your Samsung Refrigerator might not be working or cooling properly. First, ensure that the power plug is correctly connected. Check the temperature control on the display panel and set it to a cooler temperature if needed. Also, check that the refrigerator isn't in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Make sure the back of the refrigerator has enough space for air to circulate. Finally, verify that the cooling off function is not activated.

  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.

  If the water dispenser on your Samsung Refrigerator isn't working, first, check that the water line is 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, the water tank may be frozen. Try selecting a warmer setting on the main display panel.

Why do I hear unusual noises from my Samsung RS261MDWP?
- C
  Cathy LesterSep 5, 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.

Why are the front corners of my Samsung RS261MDWP Refrigerator hot and causing condensation?
- S
  Steven WardSep 9, 2025
  Some heat on the front corners of your Samsung Refrigerator is normal because anti-condensates are installed there to prevent condensation. However, condensation can also occur if the refrigerator door is left ajar for an extended period.
