Why is my Samsung Refrigerator not cooling properly?

N
Nicole HarringtonJul 29, 2025
Your Samsung Refrigerator might not be cooling because the power cord isn't properly plugged in. Make sure it is correctly plugged in. The temperature control may also be set incorrectly; try setting it to a lower temperature. Also, ensure that the refrigerator isn't near a heat source or in direct sunlight. Keep it away from direct sunlight or heat. Insufficient clearance (less than 50 mm) between the refrigerator and the walls or cabinets can also cause this issue. Finally, avoid overloading the refrigerator and ensure that food isn't blocking the vents.
