  If your Samsung Refrigerator isn't cooling or operating, ensure the power cord is properly connected. Also, verify that the temperature control is set correctly. Direct sunlight or nearby heat sources can affect cooling, so keep the refrigerator away from these. Adequate space behind and to the sides is also important for proper cooling. Avoid overfilling the refrigerator, as too much food can block ventilation.

  If food is freezing in your Samsung Refrigerator, check if the temperature control is set to the lowest setting and adjust it to a higher or optimal temperature. Also, if the ambient temperature is too low, set the refrigerator temperature higher. Food with a high water content placed in the coldest area or near the cooling vent can also freeze; move it to another shelf.
