Most searched Samsung refrigerator codes
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 5E | Defrost sensor error — the refrigerator's defrost temperature sensor is faulty (5-series sensor codes on Samsung fridges). |
| 8E | Ice-maker sensor error — the ice maker's temperature sensor is faulty. |
| 22E | Refrigerator fan error — the fresh-food (fridge) evaporator fan is not running correctly. |
| 40 | Ice-room / ice-maker compartment fan or temperature fault family member (40-series codes on Samsung refrigerators relate to the ice room system). |
| 41 | Family Hub software / system error — on Samsung Family Hub refrigerators, 41 (shown with 42 and the interior blue lights flashing) reports a software or system error on the Family Hub itself. (Corrected 2026-10-28 against Samsung US + Samsung CA: Samsung documents 41 as a Family Hub software issue, NOT a board-to-board communication fault — that separate code is PC ER / PC CH. 41C is also a different code: a Family Hub software-update issue.) |
| 84C | Compressor error — the inverter compressor is not starting or running correctly (84-series = compressor lock/drive faults). |
| FF | Not a Samsung fault code — Samsung publishes no 'FF' freezer-fan error. Its freezer fan fault is 21E; the FF letters owners see are the tail of 'O FF' (Cooling Off Mode, Samsung's demo/shop mode), which is a setting, not a failure. [Corrected 2026-10-28, verification pass: samsung.com US TSG10007315 + Samsung Canada code list.] |
| PC | Communication error between the refrigerator's main control board and the display/panel board (PC ER on Samsung fridges). |
