  Several factors can cause your Samsung Refrigerator to not cool properly. First, ensure the power cord is correctly plugged in. Then, check the temperature control settings and set the temperature lower if needed. Also, make sure the refrigerator isn't near a heat source or in direct sunlight. Ensure there's enough clearance (more than 50 mm) between the refrigerator and any walls or cabinets. Deactivate vacation mode if it's on. Finally, avoid overloading the refrigerator and ensure food isn't blocking the vents.

  Unusual noises from your Samsung Refrigerator can often be resolved by ensuring the appliance is installed on a stable, even floor. Check that the back of the appliance isn't too close to the wall and that no foreign objects have fallen behind or under it. Note that some ticking sounds are normal due to the expansion and contraction of accessories. The noise may also be coming from the compressor.
