Ensure at all times during the repair and testing of products that consumers, children, pets and you are not exposed to any
Live electrical supply or moving parts.
If the product is left unattended during servicing, you must remove from the power supply and ensure the product cannot be
reconnected (e.g. place the power lead inside the machine, remove the fuse, use of plug lock device)

You must ensure that a full visual inspection of the product is completed prior to all service activities.
A general risk assessment should be completed, precautions identified and followed that are necessary for carrying out
electrical testing work safely.

■ To Comply with the requirements of European standard BS EN-50678 20:20 published 12th March

EN EN50678:2020, General procedure for verifying the effectiveness of the protective measures of electrical equipment
after repair.

Test 1 : Visual Inspection

Test 2 : Socket outlet test
Test 3 : Earth Continuity (Measurement of the protective bonding resistance)
Reading should not exceed 0.3Ω (ohm).
Test 4 : Insulation Resistance
This test must be carried out using a suitable test meter with a 500v MΩ setting.
The resistance reading should not be less than 10MΩ.
Test 5 : Earth Leakage test (Measurement of protective conductor current)
The leakage current reading should be less than 3.5mA.
Test 6 : Touch Current test
The touch current reading should be less than 0.5mA.

4-1) Using the control panel

4-1-1. Main panel

Fridge / °F ↔ °C

Power Cool

Freezer / Power Freeze

Ice Maker / Filter Reset

Water/Ice / Dispenser Lock

Door Alarm / Control Lock

NOTE

• When you change the temperature on the panel, the panel displays the actual temperature inside the refrigerator until the
temperature matches the temperature you set. Then, the panel displays the new set temperature. Note that it will take time for the
refrigerator to reach the new temperature. This is normal. During this time, you do not need to set the temperature again.
• To ensure optimal performance, we recommend setting the temperature to -19 °C for the freezer, and 3 °C for the fridge.
• The temperature in the refrigerator may rise if you open the door frequently or put a large amount of food into the refrigerator. If
this happens, the temperature display blinks until the refrigerator returns to the specified temperature settings.
• If a communication error occurs between the temperature display and the main controller, this blinking continues for an extended
time. Contact a local Samsung service center for technical assistance.
• The display of the main panel turns on only if the door is opened and turns off if the door is closed.
• If you set Control Lock on the main panel, the main panel locks automatically 1 minute after inactivity.

TROUBLESHOOTING

① Fridge / °F ↔ °C (3 sec)
You can use the Fridge button to set the fridge temperature.
Fridge • Press Fridge repeatedly to select a desired temperature between 1 °C and 7 °C.
- The temperature indicator displays the currently set or selected temperature.

You can also use the Fridge button to switch the temperature scale between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
°F ↔ °C To switch the temperature scale, press and hold Fridge for 3 seconds to change the current
temperature scale.

② Power Cool
Power Cool speeds up the cooling process at maximum fan speed. This is useful to quickly cool food that spoils quickly, or after
the door is left open for some time. The fridge keeps running at full speed for several hours and then returns to the previous
temperature.
Press and hold Power Cool for 3 seconds.
The corresponding indicator ( ) lights up, and the refrigerator will speed up the cooling process for you.

③ Freezer / Power Freeze (3 sec)

The Freezer button can be used to set the freezer temperature, or to activate Power Freeze. Available
Freezer
temperatures are between -15 °C and -23 °C.

Power Freeze speeds up the freezing process at maximum fan speed. The freezer keeps running at
full speed for 50 hours and then returns to the previous temperature.
• To activate Power Freeze, press and hold Freezer for 3 seconds. The corresponding indicator ( )
lights up, and the refrigerator will speed up the freezing process for you.
• To deactivate, press and hold Freezer for 3 seconds again. The freezer returns to the previous
temperature setting.
Power Freeze • To freeze large amounts of food, activate Power Freeze for at least 20 hours before putting food in
the freezer.

NOTE
Using Power Freeze increases power consumption. Make sure you turn it off and return to the previous
temperature if you do not intend to use it.

④ Ice Maker / Filter Reset (3 sec)

Press Ice Maker to turn the ice maker on or off.
The ice maker has 2 indicators ( / ) to indicate its operating status.
• When the ice maker operates, the corresponding indicator ( ) turns on.
• When the ice maker is turned off, the corresponding indicator ( ) turns on. In
this case, ice making is disabled even if you press the Cubed Ice or Crushed Ice buttons on the
Ice Maker dispenser panel.
To enable ice making, you must turn the ice maker on.

NOTE
If the ice maker is turned off, it will turn on if you press and hold the ice lever for more than 5 seconds.

After about 6 months (and typically, about 1200 L of water), the Filter indicator blinks red for several
seconds when you open the door, reminding you that the filter needs to be replaced.
When this happens, replace the filter, and then press and hold Ice Maker for 3 seconds.
The filter lifecycle will be reset and the Filter indicator turns off.
Filter Reset
NOTE
• Some regions have relatively large amounts of lime in their water. This can reduce the lifecycle of the filter.
In these areas, you will have to replace the water filter more often than specified above.
• If water is not dispensing properly, the water filter is most likely clogged. Replace the water filter.

To dispense, press Water/Ice. The corresponding indicator turns on.

To prevent use of the dispenser panel buttons and the dispenser lever, press and hold Water/Ice

If you press and hold the button again for more than 3 seconds, the dispenser lock will be
deactivated.

• The Dispenser Lock on the dispenser panel does not affect the controls on the main panel. To lock the
main panel, use the Control Lock function on the main panel.
• If you press Water/Ice for 3 seconds when both control lock and dispenser lock are active, you will
deactivate both control lock and dispenser lock.

⑥ Door Alarm / Control Lock (3 sec)

If the door is left open for more than 2 minutes, an alarm will sound and the alarm indicator
will blink. You can toggle the alarm on and off by pressing Door Alarm. The alarm is enabled by
factory default.
Door Alarm
If the door is left open for 5 minutes, internal lights (in the fridge and freezer) will blink for 10
seconds and then turn on. The whole process will be repeated every minute for 5 minutes. This is
to alert hearing-impaired users that a door is open. Note that this function is normal.

To prevent accidental setting changes, press and hold Door Alarm for 3 seconds. The main panel
will be disabled and the Lock indicator ( ) will turn on.
When Control Lock is on, the indicator blinks if any button on the main panel is pressed.
If you press and hold the button again for more than 3 seconds, Control Lock will be deactivated.
Control Lock However, Control Lock will be reactivated if no button is pressed within 1 minute.

NOTE
Control Lock on the main panel does not affect the dispenser. The dispenser operates independently and
so does the dispenser lever. To lock the dispenser and the dispenser lever, use the Dispenser Lock function.

4-2-1. Adjust the leveling feet

CAUTION
• The refrigerator must be levelled on a flat, solid floor. Failing to do so can cause damage to the refrigerator or physical
injury.
• Levelling must be performed with an empty refrigerator. Make sure no food items remain inside the refrigerator.
• For safety reasons, adjust the front side a little higher than the rear side.

The refrigerator can be levelled using the front legs that have a special screw (leveller) for levelling purposes.
Use a flat-head screwdriver for levelling.

■ To adjust the height of the freezer side:

Insert a flat-head screwdriver into the leveller of the freezer-side front
leg. Turn the leveller clockwise to raise, or turn it counter clockwise to
lower.

■ To adjust the height of the fridge side:

Insert a flat-head screwdriver into the leveller of the fridge-side front leg.

2. Insert a suitable-sized snap ring (A) between the door grommet (B)
and the hinge as shown.

CAUTION
• Insert only one snap ring. If you insert two or more snap rings, the rings may slip out or make a rubbing noise.
• Keep the snap rings out of children’s reach and keep them for future use.
• Do not raise the door too much. The door can contact and damage the top cover.
