Looking for Answers about samsung 26 cu. ft. Side by Side Refrigerator?

Or, you could be as silly as me and turned your icemaker off then forgot about it. Hold down the ice button until you hear a quiet beep. The light should reappear also.
I guess when we first bought it my dogs were barking everytime it dropped ice and I asked my husband to turn it off. I don't remember that, but then about 6 months later I was so confused as to why there was no ice in the icemaker after it quit giving ice.
I'd say if it's not locked, see if it's even making ice.

If mild soap and water will not remove the water stain on your RS261MDPN, try putting a small amount of WD40 on a clean, dry, lint-free cotton cloth and gently rub off the residue.

Thanks for the question!

I'm sorry to hear you're having an issue with the water dispenser on your RS261MDPN. There are several factors that could effect the water dispenser's operation; please check the following:
- Is the supplied water pressure at the recommended 20-125 psi?
- Is the water filter cartridge installed correctly, with the lock indicator marks aligned?
- Is the water function selected on the control panel?
- Is Child Lock engaged? If so, deactivate it by pressing the Energy Saver button for 3 seconds.
- Are the fridge and freezer set to the recommended 38°F and -2°F, respectively? If the temperatures are set too low, the water line could freeze.
- Check the water line connection behind front leg cover, and the wiring harness connection under the left hinge cover. (See pages 12-13 of the User Manual.)

After checking all of the above, if the water still will not dispense, it is possible that your filter is clogged or partially clogged. Try removing the filter temporarily to see if the water will dispense. It may be necessary to press the lever for an extended period to bleed the air from the lines. If the water dispenses without a filter installed, you'll need to replace the cartridge with a new one. If water still won't dispense, your refrigerator may require service. Please call 800-SAMSUNG to speak with an agent who will be happy to assist you further.

Should work, looking at there spec, unable to find amp draw, or watts. Starting the compressor in the refrigerator is what you need to be concerned with,starting uses around 5 times running amps,I would not load down the generator with other devices due to start up amp draws of the refrigerator.

I'm sorry to hear you're having an issue with your icemaker. Please try dispensing 5-6 gallons of water to bleed all the air from the lines; if there is still air in the lines it could prevent the ice trays from filling with water. Check the feeler arm under the icemaker to make sure it is moving freely and not stuck in the "up" position which could indicate to the icemaker that the bin is full and to stop making ice.

If these suggestions do not resolve the issue, please call 800-SAMSUNG to speak with an agent who will be happy to assist you further.

Thankyou,
Ms. Samsung

Thank you for the question. It is not unusual for the lever to take a couple of seconds to return to its original position after dispensing ice or water, so you should hold your glass under the dispenser while it resets. If the lever remains stuck in the depressed position for longer and will not turn off, your refrigerator will likely require service.

The temperature lights blinking in this fashion on the RS261MDPN indicates the refrigerator is in "cooling off" mode. In this mode, the refrigerator may seem like it's working because the lights and display are on, but it does not make cool air. To cancel this mode, press the Lighting and Freezer buttons simultaneously for at least 3 seconds until a chime sounds. The compressor should turn on and start to make cold air, and the panel lights should stop moving so you can set them as desired.

Thank you,
Ms. Samsung

There is not a reset button for the control panel on your RS261MDPN/XAA. I would suggest you either submit a new question detailing the issue you're having, or call 800-SAMSUNG to speak with an agent who will be happy to assist you.

The handles on your RS261 should attach securely and should not squeak. Please review the installation instructions for the handles on page 10 of the User Manual (downloadable as a pdf file from this website). After checking installation, if the handles continue to squeak, please call 800-SAMSUNG or use the Live Chat option on the product support page to contact an agent who will be happy to assist you further.

Thank you for the questions. The water from the dispenser should be cooled to the refrigerator temperature. If the water is not cool, you may have used up the water in the refrigerator's reservoir, which holds about two liters. I would suggest waiting 24 hours before dispensing water. If it still isn't cool, then your refrigerator may require service. Please call 800-SAMSUNG to speak with an agent who will be happy to assist you.

The RS261MDPN has a built in water dispenser tray, not a removable insert.

I'm sorry to hear your RS261MDPN icemaker is not functioning well. There are a number of factors that can effect the ability of the icemaker to produce ice, including temperature and access to water, and most of these issues can be corrected without service. Please check each of the following factors:

- Did you try pressing the Test button on the side of the icemaker? (See page 19 of the User Manual for instructions.)
- Is the icemaker turned on (make sure the Ice Off icon is not illuminated on the control panel)?
- Is the feeler arm that hangs down from the icemaker stuck in the "Up" position? If so, try lowering it.
- Is your water pressure at the recommended level? In order for the ice maker to operate properly, water pressure of 20~125 psi (pounds per square inch) is required.
- Is the water valve turned on all the way?
- Are there any bends or kinks in the water line that could be obstructing water flow?
- Is the water filter installed correctly?
- Did you bleed air from the lines after installing or replacing the water filter by dispensing 5-6 gallons of water?
- Try removing the water filter temporarily and press the test button. If the tray fills, your filter was probably clogged or partially clogged and should be replaced.
- Are the freezer and refrigerator temperatures set at 3 bars? If the freezer is too warm, it may not be conducive to freezing the ice. If the fridge is too cold, the water lines could freeze.
- If the tray fills with water, you can activate the Power Freeze function to speed up ice production by pressing the Freezer button for 3 seconds.

If, after checking the above and pressing the Test button, the tray still won't fill, or it fills, freezes, but will not harvest, your RS261 will probably require service. To initiate service through Samsung, please submit an online service request through the link below, or call 800-SAMSUNG to speak with an agent who will be happy to assist you.

It is not unusual for a few fragments of crushed ice to dispense when cubed was selected, especially if crushed ice had been selected previously. It is also perfectly normal for there to be a brief time lapse between the time you stop pressing the lever and when ice finishes falling from the ice bucket through the chute and into your glass. To help prevent ice from escaping onto the floor, I would suggest holding your glass very close to the dispenser opening.

Thank you!
