Unlock your refrigerator control panel

Samsung refrigerators have a few different lock functions, depending on what model you have. These include Control Lock, Child Lock, and Dispenser Lock. The locks are useful for keeping your kids from messing with the settings, or accidentally changing something when you bump against the panel. Child Lock and Dispenser Lock also prevent you from dispensing water or ice. If you try to use the panel and see the lock icon is lit, or if the panel only responds with a chime, it means the panel needs to be unlocked.
