How to Change a Samsung Fridge From Fahrenheit to Celsius

Samsung refrigerator unit controls vary by model. Follow the matching button, menu, or Family Hub steps to switch the temperature display to Celsius.

There is no single Fahrenheit-to-Celsius button sequence for every Samsung refrigerator. Depending on the control panel and model, you may hold a labeled button for three seconds, choose Celsius in an arrow-button menu, or change the unit in Family Hub’s Fridge Settings. Use the method that matches your panel; if it does not, check the manual for your exact model.

Choose the method that matches your refrigerator’s controls

Samsung’s instructions vary by model and region. A method described for one panel may not apply to another. The full model number and its manual are the best way to confirm the correct sequence.

Control layout Where to look What to do
Button-based digital panel External or internal panel, depending on model Some models switch units by holding Energy Saver, Door Alarm, or Lighting for three seconds. The correct button is model-dependent.
Center button and arrow controls Menu-style internal panel Open the blinking °F/°C option, select °C with the arrows, then confirm or wait five seconds.
Family Hub touchscreen Fridge Manager Open Fridge Settings and select °C under Temp. Unit, if the model supports this option.

Switch units with a button

On some Samsung refrigerators, press and hold the designated panel button for three seconds to toggle the display between Fahrenheit and Celsius. Samsung Gulf lists Door Alarm, Energy Saver, and Lighting as common options, but the right control depends on the model. Samsung Gulf’s instructions explain this model-dependent approach.

Samsung Colombia documents Energy Saver on some external digital panels and Door Alarm on some horizontal internal panels. Its page applies to products purchased in Colombia, so treat those button examples as panel-specific rather than universal. Samsung Colombia’s instructions also describe a separate menu method.

Changing the display is not changing the cooling target

Switching from °F to °C changes the temperature scale shown; it does not by itself set a new refrigerator or freezer target. Samsung Singapore’s guidance recommends 3°C for the refrigerator and -19°C for the freezer (38°F and -2°F, respectively). Those are recommendations on that support page, not a guarantee of the ideal setting for every model or use case. For model-specific controls and guidance, consult the refrigerator manual.
