Tech notes
Two magic tricks every owner should know. OF OF means demo mode (the fridge looks on but won’t cool, a button combo fixes it free), and any ice maker repair should cite Samsung’s service bulletin fix kit, because installing a bare replacement maker without the sealing kit just restarts the clock on the same failure.
