What All icons flashing means

On Samsung refrigerators in the US with a numeric or alphanumeric display, all icons flashing after the unit is plugged in or after a power outage is normal. The refrigerator is running a self diagnostic as it starts. The owner sees every icon on the panel blinking at once and may worry that something is broken. It is not an error code, and in most cases it stops by itself within a short time without any action.

Common causes of All icons flashing

  • Self diagnostic running after power was restored
  • Unit just plugged in
  • Power outage that restarted the control
  • Repeated restarts if the flashing never ends
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Leave the refrigerator alone and let the self diagnostic finish. 2. Do not press buttons or unplug it while the icons are flashing. 3. Keep the doors closed. 4. Check the display again after a little while. 5. If the flashing never stops, write down what you see and request service.

! Why to stop there
  • Flashing that never ends points to a control or supply issue, and we test which
  • We check the outlet, the power input and the control board for a restart loop
  • If a visit is needed, the written price comes first and our work is covered 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.

All icons flashingAll icons flashing questions
Is all icons flashing an error?

No. After the refrigerator is plugged in or after a power outage, it runs a self diagnostic, and the flashing icons are part of that normal process.

How long does it flash?

It should finish on its own after a short time. Leave it alone, keep the doors closed, and check again later rather than pressing buttons or unplugging it.

When should I worry about the flashing?

If the icons flash continuously and never settle, the control may be restarting repeatedly. That is when we test the supply and the control board, with a written price first.
