Samsung is the widest make this company works on. Eleven appliance types, from a four-door refrigerator with a screen in it to a hood that pairs itself with the cooktop below. Three of those eleven publish no error codes at all, and the pages for those three say so rather than borrowing a table from somewhere else. 11 — appliance types 130 — codes and signals published by the maker 3 — appliances the maker publishes nothing for 56 — model pages ## What each one is, and what tends to go wrong with it here Each card covers what Samsung actually sells in that category, what fails in a South Florida kitchen, and what the maker does and does not publish about it. No appliances are published yet. ## Ice, and why it has five different answers The ice maker is the single most common repair on this make and the appliance about which Samsung publishes the least — no codes at all. What it does publish is five separate reset procedures, one for each place it puts an ice maker: in the freezer door, in the fresh-food compartment, in the bottom of a bottom-freezer cabinet, in the top of a top-freezer, and in a dedicated cubed and Ice Bites assembly. Those are different machines with different fill paths. Naming the layout is the first genuinely useful thing an owner can do. ## A panel is a panel, and the machine behind it is the same machine Fifty-one of the seventy-seven refrigerators in Samsung’s current US catalog are Bespoke, and so are forty-six of the fifty-nine ranges. The door panels come off and change color. For a repair that matters in exactly one way: a damaged or mismatched panel is not an appliance problem, and the mechanism behind it is identical to the version in plain stainless. It is worth knowing before anybody quotes you for a door. ## What tells us most, per appliance Refrigeration and ice - Which compartment is warm, measured with a thermometer rather than by hand. - Whether the display shows OF OF or O FF — that is Cooling Off mode and it is free to clear. - Where the ice maker physically sits in the cabinet. - On a Family Hub, the list from Fridge Settings, Self Check. Laundry - Front load or top load, and whether it is a FlexWash or an all-in-one combo. - On a dryer: vented electric, vented gas, or ventless heat pump. They are three different machines. - Whether the pair is stacked, and whether a multi-control kit is fitted. - The exact code, or exactly which lights are blinking. Cooking - Gas, electric, dual fuel or induction. The same complaint is a different repair on each. - Whether the oven has a Flex Duo partition, and whether it is in. - Whether the display reads tESt, which is demo mode and will not heat. - For a microwave: countertop, over-the-range, or the microwave half of a combination wall oven. ## Or start from the work Forty-three jobs with a published figure, and what moves each one. ## No wine coolers and no commercial equipment Samsung does not sell a wine cooler in the United States, and its commercial laundry is a separate line that we do not currently cover. Neither appears on this site. If a repair company offers you Samsung wine cooler service, ask them which model — the answer is worth hearing. ## Questions about the equipment Which appliance should I look at if I do not know what is wrong? — Start from what the appliance is doing rather than from the appliance. The symptom pages are written that way — not cooling, not draining, not heating, blinking lights — and each one leads to the jobs and codes behind it. Do you work on Samsung equipment that is more than ten years old? — Yes, and on this make it is usually still worth it. High-volume parts stay available for a long time, and a great deal of Samsung equipment from the 2010s is still perfectly serviceable. The exception is anything where a discontinued electronic board is the answer, and we will tell you when that is where it is heading. My appliance is Samsung but it was sold under another name. — That happens with some built-in and packaged equipment. Give us the model number off the plate rather than the badge on the front — the model number is what tells us what it actually is. ## Eleven appliances, and why the list stops there ### What is on the list Refrigerators, freezers, ice makers, dishwashers, washers, dryers, ranges, wall ovens, cooktops, microwaves and range hoods. That is what Samsung sells into American kitchens and laundry rooms, and it is what this company works on. ### Why three of them have no code pages Samsung publishes error codes for eight of the eleven. For freezers, ice makers and range hoods it publishes nothing — no table, no list, no reference. Those three therefore have symptom pages and no code pages, and each says so on the page. It would be easy to fill the space with codes borrowed from a refrigerator, and it would be wrong. ### What a Samsung kitchen usually looks like here A French door refrigerator, a range in gas or electric, a quiet dishwasher, an over-the-range microwave doing double duty as the hood, and a front-load laundry pair. That combination is common enough in South Florida that a single maintenance visit covering all five is the most economical thing most households on this make can do — and it is why most appliance repair Miami households actually need on this badge is one visit rather than five. ## Tell us the appliance and the model number. If more than one thing needs attention, say so — several appliances in one visit costs considerably less than several visits. --- **[Read full article: Appliances archive](https://samsungmiami.support/appliances-archive/)**
