How to install a Samsung side by side refrigerator
DIY
It is important to place your refrigerator to the proper location for product efficiency. Also, it may happen to detach or reverse the door of your refrigerator for moving, repairing, or else. Follow the installation video for Samsung refrigerator below. If you require more information, please find a user manual or contact the Samsung service center.
You need to narrow down what refrigerator size is right for the space where you plan to put it. No matter which refrigerator you decide to go with, here are some non-negotiables to keep in mind when prepping the location for your new fridge:
- The fridge needs to be on a flat, hard surface.
- Make sure your space has room for the doors to open fully. If your refrigerator is being installed where there is a wall on one side, and a fridge door could make contact with the wall when opened, make sure to leave at least 2.5 inches of clearance on the side closest to the wall.
You need a minimum of one inch of clearance at the back of the fridge for proper air circulation, water connections, and electrical connections.
The location for your new fridge
- The fridge needs to be on a flat, hard surface.
- Make sure your space has room for the doors to open fully. If your refrigerator is being installed where there is a wall on one side, and a fridge door could make contact with the wall when opened, make sure to leave at least 2.5 inches of clearance on the side closest to the wall.
- You need a minimum of one inch of clearance at the back of the fridge for proper air circulation, water connections, and electrical connections.
- Allow at least 3/8 inch of clearance on both sides and the top for ease of installation.
- Counter depth and Standard depth are both 35 3/4 inches in width. The difference is how far they stick out from the counter. Refer your models specifications (available in the user manual) to measure ahead of time.
Whether your fridge is delivered or you bring it home yourself, the doors may need to be taken off to get it into the house. The user manual for your refrigerator will have detailed instructions on how to remove and reinstall the doors.
Attach the door handles and install the water filter
Your refrigerator will be delivered with its handles detached and even if it fits inside without removing the doors, you will need to attach the handles.
Also, your refrigerator comes with its first water filter, but it may not be installed. Samsung water filters come in a few different shapes and sizes and knowing the correct way to install the water filter is as important now as it will be when it comes time to replace it in six months.
Also, if your water line is connected and you have installed your water filter, dispense one gallon of water to clear out any impurities from the water line before you drink or use any water from the fridge. When you turn on the ice maker, dump out the first two batches of ice as well.
Now that the fridge is settled in place, it's time to get it up and running. The steps for setting up a refrigerator can be very different depending on the type of fridge you decided on. However, the first step is the same for every fridge:
Save energy and prevent potential cooling issues, noises, or leaks by properly leveling your refrigerator. The video will show you how to level your fridge and make minor leveling adjustments.
Your fridge also needs to have its doors adjusted and leveled, and you will find information on how to do that in your user manual.
