all i can say is that in my opinion samsung after purchase service is non existent, if it is over 5 years old buy another brand.

I'm not sure what you're up against, but.... I'd just take it all apart and start over again.There should be either a screw or a clip, or it's held together with friction. If it's not working you need a new switch? Or do you just have it wired wrong?There is a screw on the back of it..? be sure the power's off!bucky in tucson

Unplug from wall socket, the check to make sure the button and the control isn't sticking. Plug it back in if still blinking call mfg..

Your best bet would be not to waste your time trying to repair it; replace it. I had nothing but trouble with this unit. Samsung and I sent it back and forth about a half dozen times, in and out of warranty. They always claimed it was fixed; it wasn't. The fan finally conked out on it and capacitors exploded, arced, and flamed. We're lucky the thing didn't start a major fire. Do yourself a huge favor and junk it.

I had similair problem with my Samsung. I looked it up on YouTube.com and found that it was blown capacitors. Looked like and easy fix. Search Google and found that Amazon.com sold a capacitor repair kit. Also purchased a soildering iron and fixed it with ease! Under $30!! Good luck.

I would check with the manufacturer. They were great at replacing a bad control panel. Hope this helps.

You may need a new control panel. I had to replace it 5 times.....fifth time's the charm I hope. Having problems with KA refrig......I am off this brand.

I don't think you can do anything to fix that yourself. Try contacting the manufacturer and see if they can offer a solution for you. Mine has been working great for over a year. If you get a solution make sure you post it in case mine goes south! ;)

Make sure the drive unit is rotated with the off/on switch on the bottom also check that the drive unit wires coming out at the end are not letting the case completely close.

Do you have a question? So far, we have not had a problem with ours. You might contact their tech support to see if they can send you a new control board.

Randal E.,Is it happening on all inputs? If so, it may need to be serviced. Test your inputs and see if that change anything. If not, reach out to the Samsung customer service center for further troubleshooting and technical assistance.Thanks for your interest in Samsung products.--Mr. S

Here is a suggestion. Call Samsung at 1-800-726-7864, product support. The reason I say this is because my system would not turn off after pressing the "off" button. I called them and believe me they went out of their way to solve the problem. Absolutely great people to work with. I was surprised. It is a GREAT system, I hope you get it up and running.....

I actually have this problem as well.. I talked to a repair guy and he said the board would cost around $130. I opened up the back of the TV and it seems pretty easy to replace.

Long term I have not heard of an actual fix that works to make this refrigerator's ice maker reliable. That is why I have joined the class action suit mentioned in earlier posts. Short term this is what I did. I shut off the ice maker, defrosted the ice maker section with a blow dryer (to speed up the defrosting of the ice buildup in the back.) In my case I had ice build up in the back of the unit which caused it to malfunction. I used towels to sop up the water as it melted. This became tedious as it kept recurring. We have hardwood floors and can't baby sit the refrigerator every second so I bit the bullet and bought a new refrigerator (Samsung, which I LOVE). The Frigidaire is a horror show.

There is a small switch on the side of the device. You may need to use a small precision screwdriver or a paper clip to flip it to the 'off' position.
