Samsung Refrigerator Error Codes
Samsung fridges show codes on the display when a sensor, fan or the ice maker has a problem. Codes vary by model, so check your manual. These are the ones we see most often.
Common codes
| Code | What it usually means |
|---|---|
| OF OF | Showroom (demo) mode. The lights work but the fridge won’t cool. Your manual shows the button combination to turn it off. |
| 1E / 2E | Freezer (1E) or fridge (2E) temperature sensor fault. |
| 4E / 5E | Defrost sensor (4E) or defrost problem in the freezer (5E). Often comes with frost on the back panel. |
| 8E | Ice maker sensor fault. |
| 21E / 22E | Freezer fan (21E) or fridge fan (22E) fault. Ice on the fan or a bad motor. |
| 33E / 39E | Ice maker fill tube heater (33E) or ice maker function problem (39E). |
What to do
Try a reset first: unplug the fridge or flip its breaker for a few minutes. If the code comes back, the part behind it needs attention.
The service call is $150, waived if you go ahead with the repair, and the repair is covered for 90 days on parts and labor.
