Frequently Asked Questions
How do I enter Samsung refrigerator diagnostic mode to read error codes?
On most Samsung French door models, press and hold the top-left and top-right display buttons simultaneously for 8 seconds. Specifically, the display enters test mode and cycles through stored error codes. The specific button combination varies by model — consult your owner’s manual or the label inside the refrigerator compartment for the correct combination.
My Samsung refrigerator shows a code I cannot find in the manual — what do I do?
Samsung has multiple display format generations — some older models display error codes as number-letter combinations (22E, 8E), while newer models may use letter-letter codes (FF, PC). Specifically, if you cannot identify a code in your manual, write it down exactly as displayed and contact us — our technicians can cross-reference it against Samsung’s full code library.
Will my Samsung refrigerator stop cooling if it shows an error code?
It depends on the code. Specifically, fan motor codes (22E, 33E, 14E) cause cooling loss because airflow is disrupted. Communication codes (PC ER) may or may not affect cooling depending on whether the main board can still run the compressor. Furthermore, demo mode (OF OF) completely disables cooling.
Additionally, when in doubt, check the temperature with a thermometer and transfer perishables if the fresh food compartment exceeds 40°F.
