Step One - Download and Set Up the Ring Doorbell
You must set up your Ring Doorbell before connecting it to the Samsung refrigerator. This includes downloading the mobile app and setting up your account. From this account, you can connect the device to any Samsung Family Hub device in your home.
To set up the Ring Doorbell, follow these steps:
Download and install the Ring mobile. app since

(Android) or
AppStore
(iOS).
Launch the Application Ring from the applications menu.
Tap the blue "Set up device" button at the bottom left of the screen.
Create your Ring account.
Tap “Set up device” (the large “plus” sign surrounded by a white circle) on the next screen.
Select “Video Ringtone” from the selected items.
Choose a name for your doorbell. Tap the “Custom” button if you want to name it yourself. On the other hand, you can choose some of the default options (“Front Door”, “Office”, etc.)
Confirm your location on the next screen.
If you've done everything correctly, your Ring Doorbell account should be fully set up and ready for the next step.
Step Two - Connect Ring Doorbell to Your Network
Before the Samsung refrigerator recognizes your Ring Doorbell, they must be on the same Wi-Fi connection. Therefore, you must connect your Ring device to the shared network before proceeding.
Once you have configured the location in the previous section, the screen will automatically transfer you to the “Wi-Fi Setup” screen. When this happens, follow these steps:
Press and release the orange button on the back of the device. The circle on the front of the device should light up and start spinning. This means that you have launched the configuration mode.
Remark:
If the light does not turn, it means that the battery is empty. Simply plug the AC adapter into your computer's USB hub or power cord and wait for the battery to recharge. When the LED on the front starts to glow blue, it means it's fully charged.
Press “Continue”. If you're setting up the app from an Android device, it should automatically connect to the Wi-Fi network (in which case you can skip the next two steps). However, iOS devices (and some Android devices) require manual configuration.
Connect to the Ring's Wi-Fi signal. Drag down the quick access bar on your phone or tablet and press and hold the “Wi-Fi” icon.
Choose the network starting with "Ringtone" from the available networks.
Wait for the app to scan all of your personal Wi-Fi networks.
Tap your home network from the list of available networks.
Enter your network password.
Press “Continue”. The circle in front should turn blue and flash. It means it is trying to connect to the network.
When the device connects to the network, the app on your phone should notify you that everything is set up successfully. Also, the circle on the front of the device should flash blue four times.
Now you can attach your Ring Doorbell wherever you want and successfully connect it to your Samsung Smart Fridge.

Tap “Apps” on your fridge screen.
