# Samsung refrigerator error code 76C

### What 76C means on this make

Water has been detected in the Autofill compartment — the recess that fills a pitcher automatically. It can be shown as the code or as a blinking Autofill indicator. It is a small and specific condition, and it is worth attending to because water sitting in a compartment inside a cabinet does not evaporate, it grows things.

### Where this appears, and why not to clear it

On the appliance’s own display. Samsung reports errors two ways: machines with a digital display show a code, and the same machines without one blink their cycle lights instead. Both are published by the maker and both are on this site. Photograph what the panel shows before cutting the power — Samsung asks for this itself on its refrigerator and dishwasher pages, and it is the one thing that makes a first visit more useful. A code that has been reset is information a technician no longer has.

### What to do about it

- Take the pitcher out and dry the compartment thoroughly.
- Check the pitcher is seated properly and its lid is on correctly.
- Watch whether water returns; a slow refill of an empty compartment points at the valve.

### Where this goes next

The job this usually becomes is [water dispenser and filter service](/services/water-dispenser-and-filter-service/), and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes, reminders and settings rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call [(305) 506-1256](tel:+13055061256) and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
