Question

What settings should I use on dial for fridge and freezer?

Community Answer

As low/warm as you actually need for the results you expect. Colder is only colder and more costly to maintain, it's not faster or better.

Question

Will putting cooking oil on the shelves of upright freezer prevent ice build-up?

Community Answer

No. Sounds like your freezer door is not getting closed all the way or not sealing completely.

Question

My refrigerator is freezing all over the place, even in the fridge part. What do I do?

Community Answer

You need a new defrost timer, or you can start by cleaning all of the dust and dirt out of the bottom behind the floor grill.

Question

I have a 2-year-old Samsung refrigerator and top freezer. The freezer makes a lot of crystals under it, why?

Community Answer

Sounds as though something is keeping the freezer door from sealing completely, which causes ice to build up on the inside of the freezer.

Question

How do I replace the door gasket on my upright freezer?

Community Answer

Before you replace it, if it is not dammaged and if the door won't simply close properly, try putting a thin layer of Vaseline around the gasket. This 'hack' works and saves lots of time and around $250.
