Electric shock is very dangerous. It can happen if an exposed hot wire touches some part of the frame of your refrigerator. Please make sure that proper precautions are taken when using your Samsung Refrigerator.

 

Root Cause:- Earthing Issue.

 
1 Check if there is water leakage from the fridge or from a different source.
2 Make sure that the refrigerator is grounded.

The refrigerator can accumulate static electricity on its surface and can shock if someone touches its metal part. If the Samsung Refrigerator is properly grounded, this static electricity would have been removed. This rule must be applied  for a refrigerator and for any other appliance.

 
3 Avoid octopus wiring by connecting your Samsung Refrigerator to a shared electrical socket.

Other appliances connected to the same extension plug or extension wire may cause electrical leakage that can cause electrical shocks.

 
1 Switch off the refrigerator and remove the power cable.
2 3 plug socket is required for proper earthing else current will flow in the body of the unit. It is advisable that get the earthing checked by the local electrician.
3 Never under any circumstance, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

For safety: The appliance must be properly grounded.

4 Do not use extension cable as other appliances connected to the same extension may have leaked electricity and transferred it to this appliance.
