Power Freeze is a feature on Samsung refrigerators that speeds up the cooling and ice-making process in the freezer. It can be turned on and off manually or automatically depending on the model and settings.
Power Freeze is a feature on some Samsung refrigerators that allows you to quickly lower the temperature of the freezer and accelerate the ice-making process. It can be useful in situations where you need to freeze items quickly, such as when you have guests coming over or when you want to make ice cream. It can also help if the temperature in your freezer has increased significantly due to an open door or a damaged door seal.
When you activate Power Freeze, the compressor and the freezer fan will run continuously for up to 10 hours or until the ice bucket is full. This will reduce the time it takes for the ice maker to make a tray of ice from 90 minutes to 55 minutes. It will also lower the temperature of the freezer to -28 degrees Celsius.
To turn on Power Freeze, you need to press and hold the Freezer button for three seconds. The corresponding indicator will light up when the feature is activated. To turn off Power Freeze, you need to press and hold the Freezer button again for three seconds. The indicator will go off when the feature is deactivated.
Depending on your model and settings, Power Freeze may also turn off automatically in some cases. For example, if the ice bucket fills up in less than 10 hours, Power Freeze will stop automatically. If you have a smart refrigerator that is connected to the SmartThings app, you can also control Power Freeze remotely from your smartphone.
