# Samsung refrigerator error code 41

### What 41 means on this make

A Family Hub code shown with the interior blue lights flashing. It is the screen and its computer rather than the refrigeration, and Samsung’s own answer is a restart from the power switch inside the cabinet, at the top of the right-hand door — a switch most owners have never noticed.

### The other ways Samsung prints this one

41 · 42

Samsung publishes a condition and then every string that can stand for it, and which one your machine shows depends on the panel it was built with. They mean the same thing and they are one page here, so whichever of them you searched for, this is the right page.

### 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

- Open the right-hand door and find the power switch at the top inside.
- Use it to restart the Family Hub, and give it time to come back.
- If the same code returns after a restart, the screen assembly needs looking at.
- The refrigerator keeps cooling while the screen is restarting.

### Where this goes next

The job this usually becomes is [family hub screen repair](/services/family-hub-screen-repair/), 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.
