What Temperature display blinking means

On Samsung refrigerators in the US with a numeric or alphanumeric display, the panel, or part of it, may blink when the inside temperature is above 59 degrees F. This happens after a door was left ajar or after a power outage. The blinking stops automatically once the refrigerator cools, which can take up to 4 hours. The owner sees the temperature numbers blinking and may worry. In most cases it is a warning, not a code.

Common causes of Temperature display blinking

  • Door left ajar
  • Power outage that let the inside warm up
  • Overpacked shelves that keep a door from sealing
  • Cooling problem if the blinking lasts well beyond 4 hours
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Check that both doors are fully closed and that nothing keeps a door ajar. 2. Check that the gaskets seal all the way around. 3. Keep the doors closed as much as possible. 4. Wait up to 4 hours for the temperature to come down. 5. If the refrigerator is still not cooling after that, request service.

! Why to stop there
  • Blinking that continues after 4 hours means we test the cooling system
  • We check the fans, the defrost circuit and the compressor operation to find the cause
  • If cooling needs repair, you approve a written price first and receive 30 days of workmanship coverage
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.

Temperature display blinkingTemperature display blinking questions
Why is my temperature display blinking?

The inside temperature went above 59 degrees F, perhaps from a door ajar or a power outage. The blinking stops on its own once the refrigerator cools down.

How long will it blink?

It can take up to 4 hours to cool back down after a door was left ajar or after an outage. Keep the doors shut and give it time.

When is blinking a real problem?

If it lasts longer than about 4 hours or the compartments stay warm, cooling is not recovering. We test the fans, the defrost circuit and the compressor operation.
