After adjustment, first tighten screw 3 and then screw 2.

CHECKING THE WATER LINE

A water dispenser is one of the helpful features on your new Samsung Refrigerator. To help promote better health, the Samsung water ﬁlter removes unwanted particles from your water. However, it does not sterilize or destroy microorganisms. You may need to purchase a water purifying system to do that. In order for the ice-maker to operate properly, a water pressure of 138~862 kPa is required.

Under normal conditions, a 170 cc (5.75 oz.) cup can be ﬁ lled in 10 seconds. If the Refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 138 KPa), you can install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure. Make sure the water storage tank inside the Refrigerator is properly ﬁ lled. To do this, press the water dispenser lever until the water runs from the water outlet.

NOTE
Water line installation kits are available at extra cost from your dealer. We recommend using a water supply kit that contains copper tubing.
NOTE
The new hose sets supplied with the appliance are to be used and the old hose sets should not be reused.

Check the accessory list below

First, shut off the main water supply line and turn the ice-maker off.
Locate the nearest cold water drinking line.
After connecting the water supply with the water ﬁlter, turn on the water supply and Flush 3L through ﬁlter before use (ﬂush approximately 6 minutes).

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE

Connecting the water line to the Refrigerator
There are several items that you need to purchase to complete this connection. You may ﬁnd these items sold as a kit at your local hardware store.

6.35 mm compression nut
copper tubing
plastic tubing
ferrule

installing_the_water_line_samsung_refrigerator_fridge_&_freezer_rfg23d.png

Slip the compression nut through the supplied plastic tubing A.
Tighten the compression nut A onto the 6.35 mm compression fitting.
- If you are using copper tubing, slip the compression nut B (not included) and ferrule (not included) on copper tubing (not included) as shown.
- If you are using plastic tubing B, insert the molded end(Bulb) of the plastic tubing B into the compression fitting. Do not use without the molded end (Bulb) of the plastic tubing B.
Tighten the compression nut B onto the compression fitting. Do not over-tighten the compression nut B.
Turn the water on and check for any leakage. Only connect the water line to a drinkable water source. If you have to repair or disassemble the water line, cut off 6.35 mm of the plastic tubing to make sure you get a snug, leak-free connection.

Installing the water filter

Remove the water filter cover 1 .
Remove the fixed cap by turning it counterclockwise. Keep the cap in a safe place for later use if you don’t use the filter.
Remove the water filter from the box and put a replacement indicator sticker on the filter as shown. Place the sticker on the filter that dates six months in the future. For example, if you install the water filter in March, put the “SEP” sticker on the filter to remind you to replace it in September. That way you’ll know when it is time to replace the filter. Normally, a filter life is about 6 months.
Remove the filter cap and insert the filter into the filter housing.
Slowly turn the water filter 90º clockwise to align with the printing mark on the cover, locking the filter in position. Make sure to align the water filter label mark with the center of the cover filter printing as illustrated. Remember, do not over tighten.

NOTE
You should remove the right side upper glass shelf before installing the water filter. Removing any residual matter inside the water supply line after installing the water filter.

Turn ON the main water supply & turn OFF the valve to the water supply line.
Run water through the dispenser until the water runs clear (approx. 6-7 minutes). This will clean the water supply system and remove air from the lines.
Additional flushing may be required in some households.
Open the Refrigerator door and make sure there are no water leaks coming from the water filter.

NOTE
Be sure to flush the dispenser thoroughly or water may leak from it. This is due to the fact that there is still air in the line.

Normal Use
To the ice bucket to maximum capacity after installation, make sure to do the following steps.
1. Allow your refrigerator to operate and cool down for 24 hours (or 1 full day).
2. Waiting 24 hours will allow your ice maker to cool properly.
3. Dispense 4 to 6 ice cubes into the glass.
4. After 8 and 16 hours, dispense a full glass of ice at each time.

NOTE
Whenever all ice is used at one time, the above step 3 and 4 must be repeated (before dispensing the ﬁrst 4 to 6 ice cubes, it needs to wait 8 hours). This will replenish the ice cubes and ensure maximum ice production. When you dump the ice from the ice bucket, you should press the dispenser lever once with ‘ICE CUBED’ or ‘CRUSHED’ function ON to get new ice faster after replacing the ice bucket in the refrigerator.

Using the water dispenser
Place a glass underneath the water outlet and push gently against the water dispenser lever with your glass. Make sure the glass is in line with the dispenser to prevent the water from splashing out. If you have just installed the refrigerator or installed a new water ﬁ lter,Flush 3L through ﬁ lter before use (ﬂ ush approximately 6 minutes). Make sure that water ﬂ ows clearly again before drinking.

NOTE

using_the_ice_off_function_samsung_refrigerator_fridge_&_freezer_rfg23d.png

If you have a long vacation or business trip, close the water valve and shut off the water supply to the Refrigerator. This will help prevent accidental leakages. Do not disassemble the Ice-maker personally. It may cause disorder. Do not wash or spray the ice bucket with water. Just wipe it with a dry cloth. In order to operate the ice-maker properly, water pressure of 138~862 kPa is required.

Water clouding phenomenon

All water provided to refrigerators ﬂ ows through the core ﬁ lter which is an alkaline water ﬁ lter. In this process, the pressure in the water that has ﬂ owed out of the ﬁ lter gets increased, and oxygen and nitrogen become saturated. When this water ﬂ ows out in the air, the pressure plummets and the oxygen and nitrogen get supersaturated so that they turn into gas bubbles. The water could look misty due to these oxygen bubbles.The water may look temporarily cloudy due to these oxygen bubbles. After a few seconds, the water will look clear.

Please wait 1 second before removing the cup after dispensing water to prevent spills. Do not pull out the lever dispenser after taking out ice or water. It comes back automatically. Ice is made in cubes.
When you select “Crushed”, the ice-maker grinds the ice cubes into crushed ice.

Samsung RFG23D Troubleshooting

PROBLEM	SOLUTION
The Refrigerator does not work at all or it does not chill sufﬁciently.	• Check that the power plug is properly connected. • Is the temperature control on the display panel set to the correct temperature? Try setting it to a lower temperature. • Is the Refrigerator in direct sunlight or located near a heat source? • Is the back of the Refrigerator too close to the wall and therefore keeping air from circulating?
The food in the Refrigerator is frozen.	• Is the temperature control on the display set to the correct temperature? Try setting it to a warmer temperature. • Is the temperature in the room too low? • Did you store the food with high water content in the coldest part of the Refrigerator? Try moving those items into the body of the Refrigerator instead of keeping them in the Cool Select Pantry™.
You hear unusual noise or sounds.	• Check that the Refrigerator is level and stable. • Is the back of the Refrigerator too close to the wall and therefore keeping air from circulating? • Was anything dropped behind or under the Refrigerator? • A “ticking” sound is heard from inside the Refrigerator. It is normal and occurs because various accessories are contracting or expanding according to the temperature of the Refrigerator interior.
The front corners and vertical hinged section of the appliance are hot and condensation is occurring.	• Some heat is normal as anti-condensators are installed in the vertical hinged section of the Refrigerator to prevent condensation. • Is the Refrigerator door ajar? Condensation can occur when you leave the door open for a long time.
Ice-maker is not producing ice.	• Did you wait for 12 hours after installation of the water supply line before making ice? • Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve opened? • Did you manually stop the ice making function? • Is the Freezer temperature too warm? Try setting the Freezer temperature lower.
You can hear water bubbling in the Refrigerator.	• This is normal. The bubbling comes from the Refrigerator coolant liquid circulating through the Refrigerator.
There is a bad smell in the Refrigerator.	• Check for spoiled food. • Foods with strong odors(for example, ﬁsh) should be tightly covered. • Clean out your Freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or suspicious food.
Frost forms on the walls of the Freezer.	• Is the air vent blocked? Remove any obstructions so air can circulate freely. • Allow sufﬁcient space between the foods stored for efﬁcient air circulation. • Is the Freezer drawer closed properly?
Water dispenser is not functioning.	• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve opened? • Has the water supply line tubing been crushed or kinked? Make sure the tubing is free and clear of any obstruction. • Is the water tank frozen because the Refrigerator temperature is too low? Try selecting a warmer setting on the main display panel.
