What Each Samsung Error Code Means
1E or 5E – Defrost Sensor Error
This error indicates a problem with the defrost sensor. It may lead to frost buildup and reduced cooling performance.
SE – Sensor or Communication Error
This code can indicate a communication issue or a display glitch. In some cases, resetting the refrigerator may resolve it.
22E – Refrigerator Fan Error
The internal fan may not be running properly, which can affect airflow and cooling inside the fridge.
22C – Condenser Fan Error
This refers to the fan located near the compressor. If it fails, the refrigerator may overheat or lose cooling efficiency.
33E – Ice Maker Error
This error is related to the ice maker. It may stop producing ice or fail to complete its cycle.
39E / 39C – Ice Maker Sensor Error
This indicates a problem with the ice maker sensor, often affecting ice production.

The fan inside the ice compartment may not be working properly, which can impact ice making.
41E – Communication Error
This means the refrigerator’s internal control boards are not communicating correctly.
88 88 – Power Error
This code typically appears after a power outage or voltage fluctuation.
PC ER – PCB Communication Error
This indicates a communication issue between the main control board and the display panel.
OF OF / O FF – Cooling Off Mode
This is not an error. It means the refrigerator is in demo mode, often used in showrooms.
How to Reset a Samsung Refrigerator
In some cases, resetting your refrigerator can clear temporary errors.
Steps:
- Unplug the refrigerator for 5 minutes

If the error code returns, further inspection may be required.
