This problem mostly occurs when you have just installed the refrigerator or reset it to do something, in such cases, wait a little while until the temperature of the refrigerator is adjusted. Because by resetting the refrigerator, its temperature will be completely messed up and until the refrigerator has reached the desired temperature, its light will blink. If after resetting and waiting for a suitable temperature, the refrigerator light still flashes; One of the parts or sensors may have a problem.

One of the main causes of the flashing temperature of the refrigerator is the rising temperature of the refrigerator. If you have put a large amount of half-warm food in the refrigerator or if you have just installed the refrigerator, this may happen. In such a situation, you need to give it some time. If the problem is not solved, the reason why the light is on. Refrigeration can be caused by other problems, including:

1. Check the Door Switches
The door switches control the lights and might be faulty. When the door is open, the switch should remain in the "open" position, keeping the lights on. If the switch is malfunctioning, it might cause the lights to blink.
Locate the door switches (usually located around the door frame).
Press and release the switches manually to see if the lights react consistently.
If the lights blink when pressing/releasing the switches, consider replacing the door switches.
2. Inspect the Wiring and Connectors
Loose or damaged wiring can cause the lights to flicker.
Unplug the refrigerator from the power source.
Remove the light covers and inspect the wiring and connectors.
Ensure all connectors are securely plugged in and there are no visible signs of damage or corrosion.
3. Check the LED Control Board
The LED control board regulates the lights in the refrigerator. If it's faulty, it could cause the lights to blink.
Locate the LED control board (refer to your refrigerator's manual for its location).
Inspect the board for damage or loose connections.
If you suspect the control board is faulty, you may need to replace it.
4. Reset the Refrigerator
Sometimes, a simple reset can resolve minor electronic issues.
Unplug the refrigerator from the power source.
Wait for about 5 minutes.
Plug it back in and check if the issue persists.
5. Consult the User Manual
Refer to the user manual for any specific troubleshooting steps or error codes related to the lighting issue. Sometimes, there are specific reset procedures or diagnostic modes that can be accessed via the control panel.
6. Contact Samsung Support
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, it might be time to contact Samsung support or a professional technician. The refrigerator might have an underlying issue that requires expert attention.
Samsung Support: Visit the Samsung support website or call their customer service for assistance.
Professional Technician: Consider hiring a certified appliance repair technician to diagnose and fix the problem.
