Samsung RS53 problem

[graveslider]

Hi. I had a power cut this morning and since it happened the front panel is constantly flashing. Pressing and holding any of the buttons doesn't work either separately or together. I have switched it off for over ten mins and still flashes when i put in back on. Any assistance much appreciated - model samsung RS53

Switch off for maybe 20 mins or more to reset it. If your a bit quick with the on off it won't reset properly.
If that don't work contract an engineer. Any warranty?

thanks for the reply - had it off for quite a while - no warranty as 7 years or so old. Compressor is working as i left fridge door open for a while and then when i closed it - compressor kicked in. Freezer keeping stuff frozen. Thinking its the main PCB board as i know that powers the front panel but not 100 percent sure

Yeah. Problem affected board. What's the cost for a replacement?

 

[graveslider]

probably about 70 quid - just wasnt sure if the main pcb controlled the temp as there are two other boards

Any flash or lights that may indicate error code?

 

[graveslider]

no error code - lights on front panel flashing and doesnt reset at all - even when left off. fridge goes upto about 8 degrees then compressor kicks in and lowers it again. emptied freezer and put bottle of water in - short time later its completely frozen

The light flashing could be error code. Some maybe on all the time or not flashing. If so look up online..
Same goes for many different appliances.
