  If your Samsung Refrigerator isn't dispensing ice, consider the following: 1. If you recently installed the water supply line, did you wait 12 hours before trying to make ice? 2. Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve open? 3. Have you accidentally stopped the ice-making function? Ensure 'Ice Type' is set to 'Cubed' or 'Crushed'. 4. Is there ice blocking the ice maker bucket? 5. Is the freezer temperature too warm? Try setting it lower.

  Todd MillerSep 3, 2025
  If your Samsung Refrigerator is making unusual noises, here are some things to investigate: * Ensure the refrigerator is level and stable. * Check if the back of the refrigerator is too close to the wall, preventing air circulation. * See if anything has fallen behind or under the refrigerator. Note: A 'ticking' sound from inside is normal, caused by accessories contracting or expanding due to temperature changes.

Why are the front corners of my Samsung RSH5UBBP Refrigerator hot?

  Michael OrrSep 7, 2025
  Some heat is normal on the front corners of your Samsung Refrigerator because anti-condensators are installed there to prevent condensation. Also, check if the refrigerator door is ajar, as leaving it open for an extended time can cause condensation.
