What 41 / 42 means

On Samsung Family Hub refrigerators, 41 or 42 with the interior blue lights flashing is answered with a reboot of the Family Hub. The brand gives the action and not a definition of the code. The owner sees 41 or 42 on the display and the interior lights flashing blue. We read it as a Family Hub system condition and not a cooling one, so check whether the fridge and freezer are still cold while you wait.

Common causes of 41 / 42

  • Family Hub system that needs a restart
  • Interior blue light and display control stuck in an error state
  • Connection between the hub screen and the main control
  • Software state after a power disturbance
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Find the power switch for the Family Hub on the inside, at the top of the right door. 2. Use it to reboot the Family Hub. 3. Wait for the screen to start up again. 4. Check that the interior lights stop flashing blue. 5. Make sure the fridge and freezer are still cold.

! Why to stop there
  • A code that continues after the reboot tells us the hub or its link needs testing
  • We check whether the cooling side is unaffected and only the hub is reporting
  • The cost is written down before work begins, and our workmanship stays under warranty for 30 days
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

41 / 4241 / 42 questions
Where is the Family Hub power switch?

It is on the inside at the top of the right door. Use it to reboot the Family Hub when 41 or 42 appears with the interior blue lights flashing.

Does 41 or 42 mean my food will spoil?

The code is answered with a Family Hub reboot, which suggests it concerns the hub. Still, feel that the compartments are cold, and call us if cooling seems off.

What if the lights keep flashing after the reboot?

Then the hub or its link to the control needs testing. We check it and give a written price before starting any repair. Please leave the screen alone until then.
