# Samsung refrigerator error code 85C

### What 85C means on this make

Family Hub noticed the supply voltage drop, usually during a brief outage or a brown-out. Samsung calls it harmless and gives a way to clear it. In this part of the country it is a summer code: it appears after the kind of afternoon storm that makes the lights flicker.

### 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

- Press and hold OK for about three seconds to clear it.
- Check whether the household lost power or flickered recently.
- If it keeps returning with no outages, have the supply to the appliance checked.

### 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.
