If your Samsung refrigerator is experiencing an issue with frost buildup, you can manually force a defrost cycle to clear the issue. This process is simple and can be done in a few steps. First, unplug the refrigerator from the wall outlet. This will reset the refrigerator and allow you to start the defrost cycle. Next, locate the defrost timer and turn it counterclockwise until it clicks. This will start the defrost cycle. Finally, wait for the cycle to complete and plug the refrigerator back into the wall outlet. Your Samsung refrigerator should now be free of frost buildup and ready to use.
