Samsung Refrigerator Error Codes Table

Error Code	Problem	Potential Solution
4e	Failure of defrost sensor.	Check the wiring. It may require replacing components.
5 / 5e	Defrost sensor failure and/or power outage.	Try resetting your refrigerator several times. Replace the unit if resetting doesn’t work.
6e	Ambient Sensor error, which may occur after a power outage.	To reset, press Power Freeze and Power Cool (or the top left and right buttons on some panels) simultaneously for 15-20 seconds. This often restores normal operation.
8e	Due to an ice maker sensor failure.	If the sensor is disconnected or not working, check the wiring and sensor. Replace the sensor if necessary and contact Samsung for assistance.
23e	1: Condenser fan error signaling a problem in the fan’s wires. 2: Second, this may be a control board or wiring harness issue.	Ensure the refrigerator is receiving power. If the issue persists, replace the faulty component.
25e	Defrost function error.	Unrepairable issue. Possible causes include the motherboard, defrost sensor, or heating element. These parts must be replaced.
33e	Ice pipe heater failure.	Clear the error code by pressing the upper right and left buttons together for 5 seconds. If the code remains, replace the fill tube heater immediately.
39e	Ice maker sensor error.	Check the wiring, water line, and ice maker connections. If you find a problem, contact Samsung for support. They may provide a replacement part even if it’s out of warranty. Also, check if there is water in the ice maker.
40e	Freezer defrost malfunction.	Locate and remove frost buildup in the refrigerator. A hairdryer can be helpful for this task.
84c / 84e	This error signals a rotor lock.	If the display shows 84E, it’s a serious issue, likely requiring the replacement of the DC three-speed compressor. This repair requires professional expertise.
83e / 85e / 86e / 88	This group of errors may arise from a power outage (83e) and result in current instability at the PDA Inverter.	For codes like 88 88, 83E, 85E, or 86E, turn off or unplug the refrigerator for 3-5 minutes, then turn it back on to reset and clear the codes. These may be caused by a malfunctioning PBA inverter.
0f	The “0f” indicates a so-called “showroom mode”.	Press POWER FREEZE and FREEZER buttons simultaneously for 3-5 seconds. Wait for the unit to switch to the correct mode.
2e	Misconnection or a short circuit in the fresh food sensor.	Inspect the main control board. For safety, have a professional handle this. To clear errors, press Lighting and Energy Saver simultaneously for 8-10 seconds.
1e	Water level sensor issue or misreading.	Check the water supply and sensor functionality. Reset the refrigerator by unplugging it for 5 minutes and plugging it back in. If the issue continues, contact Samsung support.
