The first thing you will want to learn is how to reset the temperature on a Samsung refrigerator. The temperature plays a massive role in keeping your food fresh and edible. If it is set too cold, it will freeze your food, if it is set too warm, your food will go bad. 

Your Samsung refrigerator should be set to 40 degrees Fahrenheit or 4 degrees Celsius. It can go lower than this, but it should never reach 0 degrees for the freezer section. You will need to continue observing the food in your fridge to make sure it is not going bad.

This should not be a tedious or long process and should take only a few minutes of your time. If something else seems wrong, or you have reset it multiple times, your best option may be to call the retailer you bought it from. (Samsung product support page.)

Before that, here is what you can do to try to reset it on your own:

1. Hold the two buttons called “power freeze” and “power cool” at the same time for a few seconds. You will hear a sound that will let you know your fridge and freezer is being reset. 

2. If there is a panel, there will be a switch labeled reset. You can flick this off or on, and it will tell you when it has been fully reset. 

3. Check your error messages to help self-diagnose the problem. 
4. If none of that works: 

• Turn off your fridge by holding the two buttons called “power freeze” and “power cool.” 
• Unplug your fridge and let it sit for 10-15 minutes; your food will not go bad for this amount of time. 
• Plug it back in after letting it sit, and your fridge should be good to go! You may have to manually change the temperature on the control panel by yourself, but that is typically rare. 

One of the best features of these refrigerators is that they are smart fridges. They will remember your preferred temperatures and tell you what the problem is through self-diagnosis. They are some of the highest tech fridges on the market, and because of that, it makes it straightforward to figure out how to reset a Samsung fridge.
