Troubleshooting Common Issues
Forgotten Passcode
If you’ve forgotten your passcode, there are a few things you can do:
- Reset the refrigerator: Unplug the refrigerator from the power outlet for 30 seconds, then plug it back in. This will reset the passcode to the default factory settings, which is usually “0000” or “1234.”
- Use the override key: Some Samsung refrigerators come with an override key that can be used to unlock the door. This key is typically located on the bottom of the refrigerator or in the owner’s manual.
