What Deli drawer panel blinking means

On Samsung refrigerators with a middle deli drawer, the small control panel for that drawer may blink. No definition is given for the blinking, only the steps to follow. The owner sees the drawer panel flashing while the rest of the refrigerator may run normally. A full power-off of 2 minutes followed by 1 minute of waiting after power returns is the way to restart the control that runs the drawer.

Common causes of Deli drawer panel blinking

  • Drawer control that did not start cleanly
  • Connection between the drawer panel and the main control
  • Drawer temperature sensor reading
  • Power disturbance that left the panel blinking
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Unplug the refrigerator or switch off the breaker for 2 minutes. 2. Restore power. 3. Wait 1 minute. 4. Check whether the drawer panel still blinks. 5. Keep the doors closed during the restart, and check that the drawer closes fully.

! Why to stop there
  • A drawer panel that keeps blinking after the restart needs the drawer control and its link tested
  • We check the connector, the sensor and the control output for the drawer
  • We quote the repair on paper before starting, and workmanship 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.

Deli drawer panel blinkingDeli drawer panel blinking questions
How long do I turn off the power?

Leave the refrigerator unplugged or the breaker off for 2 minutes, then restore power and wait 1 minute before checking the drawer panel again. Wait the full time before judging the result.

Does the blinking mean food in the drawer is warm?

Not necessarily. Check the temperature setting and feel the drawer. If it is warm or the blinking stays, we can test the drawer controls. We can check it for you.

Why does only the drawer panel blink?

The drawer has its own small control, which can lose its link to the main control. We test that connection and the drawer sensor if the restart does not help.
