Samsung Side by Side Refrigerator - Leveling the refrigerator

Hello,

I have a question regarding the leveling of Samsung side by side refrigerators. As standard, the refrigerator can be leveled with the front legs (left - right) and this is understandable and obvious. However, you cannot level the refrigerator (front back) and the top always "flies against the wall". Samsung's hotline claims that this is how it should be because the door is to press against the body with its own weight so that there are no micro-gaps on the magnetic strip of the door. Everything is fine and unobtrusive if the refrigerator is far from the kitchen furniture. However, if we enclose the refrigerator with furniture (we ignore the topic of ventilation gaps - they are preserved), then everything can be seen from the side (not keeping the door vertical). In order to be able to place the refrigerator vertically (front - back), something about 8 mm thick must be placed under the rear wheels.
And now the question is, will such correct leveling of the refrigerator affect its life?

If I posted my question in the wrong section, please move it.

Regards.

The entire front, both legs are screwed in or out at the same time and the refrigerator tilts against the wall or against the wall.

Whole front, both legs equal ...

No, it's not that simple There is also a transport wheel in the front, in the middle. If it is standing on its castors, it is already tilted upside down so that it cannot lower the front any more.

Regards.

These wheels are not retracting or disassembling?

Hello,

Unfortunately not.

Regards.

Hello,
I also got this answer in Samsung, it must be tilted back ...
No sense.
Has anyone tried to put something under the rear wheels and how does this affect the refrigerator?

Hello,

I leveled mine by placing a wooden slat under the rear wheels.
It has been standing there for 1.5 years and nothing is happening.

Regards.

I followed the instructions and leaned back (I was leveling left and right).
But I lost confidence in Samsung when I asked (Samsung, because who?) About the maximum power consumption (I wanted to choose an extension cord so that it would not catch fire during a trip, for example). Here is what they replied to me:

Samsung replies:

Quote:

Thank you for your interest in Samsung products, but the manufacturer does not provide this type of information.
All information available to the user can be found in the user manual.

So I write (probably rightly so?):

Quote:

I thought I was contacting the manufacturer - Samsung. So who, if not Samsung, is the manufacturer of this equipment? The maximum power consumption is an essential parameter of the safety of the power installation and is specified by the producers. Therefore, please obtain information and answer my question.

To what Samsung (?) Replies:

Quote:

We are sorry, but the information you ask for is not made public.

So I understand that in the event of a fire, the responsibility lies with Samsung, because I did everything to obtain basic information, for decades always provided by manufacturers of various electrical devices, and in the case of Samsung, I was refused.

Do I think right?

This is what you can judge with Samsung Poland if your noise will burn out as a result of ignition from a Chinese extension cord with a cross section of 0.1 mm2 made of copper-plated aluminum wire.

I found a rating plate and they say something like 140W (and 160W) there. I asked Samsung if this was not the power consumption I was looking for,

to which they replied "The value of 140 W is assigned to the defrosting process. The rated current is 1 A.".

Well, now I have 2 questions:

1. Is defrosting done with some kind of heater (not just cooling off)?
2. Where to find the power consumed by the refrigerator? (I do not mean annual but temporary consumption).

Look closely at the insulation of the power cord. The wire cross-section should be indicated there. If not, make yourself an extension cord from a 3x 1.5 mm2 wire, and it will not burn out.
Do not panic.
In addition, your nameplate shows the rated current.

Regards.

PS: Possibly buy yourself a clamp meter.

Should I guess? This 1A?

Hello,
And I bought a Samsung RB37K63602C fridge-freezer (black glass fronts). The instruction states that you should level it by slightly tilting it backwards. For me it is slightly a few mm, the difference for the eye is acceptable even with the construction, as in my case.
The device has 2 wheels on the back and 2 adjustable feet on the front. After screwing the legs all the way in, it turned out that the refrigerator is tilted from the vertical by 30mm over a distance of 2 meters (this is the height) to the back. As the device is built-in, the difference in tilt can be seen very clearly. By turning the front feet, I can only increase the rear tilt. I wrote to Samsung enclosing pictures, they say there is an ok- quote "backward tilt should be 3 to 5 degrees" but the manual does not give these values, it only says a slight deviation.
I also spoke to the home appliance installer and he confirmed my fears that there was something wrong. The installer mounts the refrigerators by applying a spirit level and the eye of the spirit level slightly tilted back as I wanted to do it. I have installed several refrigerators in my life and never had such a problem.
I asked Samsung to analyze the case by the technical department and not by the customer service department or the arrival of a service technician under the warranty. I am waiting for feedback full of nerves. Pictures of what it looks like in the attachments

To this "show" of the tilt in the photos, I would also like to see how the furniture stands according to which it is measured ...
Because it is not known whether the cupboard you measure is perfectly vertical, or whether it is an appropriate "template" ...
Or maybe it is slightly tilted forward?

Please, Wojtek
I anticipate the question about the spirit level - EFFICIENT

But this samsung crap. In my opinion, the manufacturer deliberately designed the rear-front leveling system in such a way that the refrigerator would fly against the wall, so that when the loaded door was opened, it would not tip over onto the user. Someone with an empty freezer and a small loading of the chamber with the loaded door realized that the refrigerator could tip over, it technically forced the user to set the equipment in such a way. The author can check it.

I'm afraid you may be right. But following your reasoning, the center of gravity of the refrigerator would have to be quite high. I would have to count what it looks like with an empty freezer and a full fridge and door. Overall a massacre ....

Two things:
1. Is the floor on which the refrigerator is standing 100% horizontal?
This is especially the part of the floor in the area of the rear rollers. Knowing our builders it happens differently ...
It fits, pull out the refrigerator to a relatively flat "area" and check.
2. That the rear rollers are operational. It is about the correct installation of the rollers in their seats. Have the osks come out?
Of course, the installation of rollers with a too small diameter or other assembly or even construction error cannot be ruled out. Samsung is not perfect, because ideals do not exist, so various "flowers" happen when the Chinese install refrigerators at night ...
If it turns out on a flat surface that it is impossible to level the refrigerator, then according to I need to advertise it. Although a colleague's hypothesis @ Mierzejewski46 is quite likely.
PS. It is not visible in the photos, but I am afraid that you will "cook" a fridge in this building. Check if there is a passage to the ceiling at the back so that the warm air from the condenser can easily escape into the room, and not "stick" in the building and increase electricity costs.
I personally have a very bad experience with "confirmant screwers" (you can't call them carpenters). I have seen a lot of refrigerators "zabunkrowane" to make it look beautiful.

1.Yes, the floor is level,

2. The axles have not slipped out, the wheels themselves could have been higher, there is room for this

There is a distance of 3 cm on the back of the refrigerator which prevents the refrigerator from being pushed all the way to the wall. There are gaps of a few cm around the refrigerator and a gap of about 1 cm between the cabinet and the wall above the refrigerator - it may not boil over.

The wheels on the back could be higher, so maybe you are right that the Chinese assumed the wrong diameter. In order not to mechanically interfere with the mounting of the wheels (because the wheel axle is pressed), I thought about making half rings for polyurethane wheels.

Removing the plastic stops under the front wheels would also help, but it is also a mechanical interference - it must not be done according to Samsung.

THE BACK OF THE REFRIGERATOR IS 3CM THAT DOESN'T ALLOW THE REFRIGERATOR TO BE PUSHED INTO THE WALL. AROUND THE REFRIGERATOR GRADES A FEW CM AND ABOUT 1CM BETWEEN THE CABINET AND THE WALL ABOVE THE REFRIGERATOR - IT MAY NOT BOILER

It doesn't look good, which is a typical pseudo-carpenters' maniana.
See yourself a cabinet on / above the fridge from IKEA. There it is not 1cm, but 6cm from the wall. So the channel, not the stomata.
Put something under the rear wheels and try to balance the refrigerator with the door open and there are several bottles of soda on it.
May it not turn out that the hypothesis is a valid theory ...
Then you need to fix the top of the refrigerator to the wall.

Virtually all Samsung refrigerators "fly" backwards. And that's how it should be.
Nothing to do about it, unless you put a piece of slat under the back.

Did you get the answer?

Dude, don't worry. This is not a built-in refrigerator. Therefore, it will be standing as it stands. The fact that you enclosed it with furniture is your idea. It has to stay that way. It doesn't bother you at all. Built-in refrigerators are a different design, doors adapted to screwing the fronts and without the possibility of tipping over. You do not level it for folk china.
