Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
The ice maker may not function properly if the water line is not connected or turned on. It can produce small ice cubes or cubes with bubbles if the water filter is clogged. Additionally, a buzzing sound may occur if the ice making function is left "ON" without a water line connected
-
Issues with the water dispenser can arise from improper installation of the water line into the coupler, causing air to enter and water to drip from the dispenser. It may also dispense water slowly if the water filter is clogged. These issues can often be resolved by properly inserting the water line and replacing the water filter if necessary
-
The refrigerator or freezer compartments may feel warm if the unit hasn't been operating long enough to reach the set temperature or if new, warmer items have been added. It can take up to 24 additional hours to stabilize. Additionally, external factors like location near a heat source can affect performance
-
Moisture or condensation can form inside or outside the refrigerator, especially in humid weather or if the doors are frequently opened. This issue can generally be managed by wiping the condensation away and minimizing door openings
-
Occasional noises such as clicks, pops, cracks, and snaps are generally normal and occur due to the expansion and contraction of various components inside the refrigerator, especially during defrost cycles. These noises can also come from electronic devices like the ice maker

Energy Efficiency Tips
- **Use the SMART GRID Function**: Activate the SMART GRID (Demand Response) function to control and delay high energy-consuming tasks during off-peak times when electricity costs and demand are lower.
- **Monitor Energy Consumption via SmartThings**: Use the SmartThings app to monitor your refrigerator's energy consumption and activate energy-saving features like Delay Defrost that adjust to user-specified times.
- **Set and Keep Recommended Temperature Levels**: Ensure that your refrigerator and freezer compartments are set to the recommended temperatures (at or below 37°F for the refrigerator and 0°F for the freezer) for optimal energy efficiency.
- **Maintain Proper Clearance Around the Unit**: Allow appropriate clearance (at least 2 inches at the rear) for adequate air circulation and efficient cooling.
- **Keep the Refrigerator Well-Stocked, but Not Overloaded**: Avoid overloading the refrigerator and ensure vents inside the refrigerator are not blocked by food items to maintain proper airflow and cooling efficiency.
- **Avoid Electrical Hazards:** Do not use a damaged power plug, power cord, or loose wall socket, as this may result in electric shock or fire. Make sure the power plug is firmly inserted into the wall socket.
- **Water Precautions:** Fill the water tank and ice cube trays with potable water only (tap water, mineral water, or purified water). Do not fill the tank with tea, juice, or a sports drink as they can damage the refrigerator.
- **Avoid Fire Hazards:** Do not use a hair dryer to dry the inside of the refrigerator, and do not place a lighted candle inside the refrigerator to remove bad odors, as both actions can result in an electric shock or fire.
- **Child Safety:** Do not let children hang on the doors or inside the bins, and make sure children do not play with the appliance to prevent injuries or suffocation.
- **Gas Leak Precautions:** If a gas leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition, and air the room for several minutes. Do not touch the appliance or power cord until the room is sufficiently ventilated.
