SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

TROUBLESHOOTING

GENERAL KNOWLEDGE OF REFRIGERATOR SILENCE

CAUTION

Do not overfill the refrigerator with food.

Refrigerant decides the refrigeration of refrigerator 

and it is filled into the refrigerator with special process. 

Ensure the piping behind refrigerator is undamaged.

Do not store bottles or glass containers in the freezer.

If power socket is loose, do not insert plug.

There is a risk of electric shock or fire.

Damage to the cord may cause a short circuit, fire 

or electric shock. 

Do not start up refrigerator if there is any damage in 

the unit. Please contact dealer or service center for 

any query.

The room size for the appliance shall be calculated 

according to 8g of refrigerant type R600a per cubic 

meter. Refer to the instruction in the refrigerator for 

the details of refrigerant quantity in the unit.

The room size for refrigerator shall be determined 

according to the quantity of refrigerant in the 

appliance to avoid that the refrigerant leaked from 

piping circuit is mixed with the air to 

generate flammable mixture.

The refrigerant leaked from the piping may be ignited 

or cause injury to the eyes. If refrigerant leakage is 

found, fire or potential fire source shall be avoided and 

ventilate the room where the refrigerator is for 

several minutes.

If power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by 

the manufacturer, a certified service agent or 

qualified service person.

Do not disconnect the power cord by pulling on its 

head.

Do not store articles on top of the unit.

If there is abnormal noise, odor or smoke, pull out 

the plug immediately and contact your nearest 

Samsung service center.

Check product label to make sure the refrigeration

is not prohibited.

Do not put your hand in the area underneath the unit.

The refrigerator does not work at all or can not chill 

sufficiently

The front corners and sides are equipped with heat 

radiator. It is normal to be hot.

The food in fridge is frozen

You can hear abnormal noise or sound

Slight “humming” sound

Slight “Whishing” Sound

Frost Crack Sound and “Pooping” Sound

Air or Water flow Sound

“Clattering” Sound

There is odor inside the refrigerator

There is some condensate water inside the refrigerator, 

which is normal.

Check that the power plug is properly connected.

Check that the power plug fuse has not blown.

Is the temperature control set to the proper temperature?

Is the refrigerator in direct sunlight or located near a heat 

source?

Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall?

Is the temperature control set to the proper temperature?

Is the temperature in the room too low?
Did you put food with a high water content near the 

coldest part of the fridge.

Check that the floor is level and stable.

Is the back of the appliance too near to the wall?

Has anything dropped behind or under the appliance?
Is the noise from the compressor in the appliance?

A “ticking” sound may be heard from inside the 

appliance, but this is normal. It is caused when the 

various accessories contract or expand.

The front corner of refrigerator is equipped with frost device to 

prevent condensation.

Condensation can result of leaving the door open too long or 

storing unwrapped food with a high water contact when outside 

temperature and humidity are high.

You did not wrap food with a strong smell properly or you have 

left something in the refrigerator too long.

Always wrap food with a strong smell so that it is airtight. 

Frost forms on the wall of the freezer

Always allow sufficient space between the food items for 

efficient air circulation.

Is air inlet/outlet blocked?

Always throw always the food that has gone off.

Is the door closed properly?

The refrigerator runs through compressor and lowers the temperature inside by the procedures such as refrigerant 

circulation to ensure the freshness and nutrition of the food inside the refrigerator. When the refrigerator is running, you 

may hear some slight sounds. Please take it easy because it is normal and will not have any influence on the refrigerator 

application.

When the compressor is running, the startup sound is slight 

high. High-efficient refrigerator has higher sound due the 

strong working capacity of the compressor.

A fan is installed inside the refrigerator to improve air 

circulation. When the fan is running, it will gives off the sounds 

of air flow and motor running. In the other hand, the fan 

running can ensure that the temperature inside can be 

decreased rapidly and evenly, which have great impact on 

keeping food fresh and nutritional; on the other hand, the fan 

running can increase the cooling effects of the refrigerator.

The temperature inside the refrigerator can be lowered 

quickly when refrigerant is flowing in the pipes. There are two 

kinds of refrigerants, gas and liquid. Slight sound may be 

heard during its flowing.

When the refrigerator is running, due to the variation of 

temperature differences, the food is frost cracked or 

evaporator and pipe line gives off “pooping” sound due to 

hot expansion and cold contraction. 

When starting and stopping the refrigerator, the electrical 

components such as main control panel, startup breaker 

and heat protector give off “Clattering” sounds because of 

being constantly on or off.

Both sides of the refrigerator are equipped heat pipes and it is 

normal to be hot.

Any sharp edge may cause personal injury.

Do not touch the inside wall of the freezer or 

products or food stored in the freezer with wet hands.

Do not use a wet or damp cloth to remove any 

foreign materials from the power plug pins when 

cleaning the plug.

It may cause frostbite.

There is a risk of burning and fire.

If you wish to move the refrigerator, hold it by handle 

on its back and bottom sides.

If the appliance power is disconnected, you have 

to wait for at least five minutes before plugging it 

back.

Any deterioration in the insulation may cause fire.

If you will not use the refrigerator for a long period of time, 

please pull out of power plug.

Do not let children 

hang on the food 

guard on the doors.

Do not let children 

hang on the counter 

and doors.

Do not let children 

hang on the shelf in

the unit.

Do not store medicine, scientific materials and the 

other temperature-sensitive products in the freezer.

When you open or close the doors, the articles may 

fall and cause personal injury or material damage.

When the contents freeze, the glass may break 

and cause personal injury.

If food falls out when you open the doors, there is 

a risk of personal injury or material damage.

                      Small amount of high-temperature, 

                      environmental protected Isobutane 

                      refrigerant and gas is included in the 

                      refrigerator, but they are also very 

flammable. Handle the refrigerator carefully to ensure 

the refrigerant system is not damaged during 

transportation and installation of this unit.
