# Asko refrigerator showing Flashing light below D or E

On the R23841 a flashing signal light below the D or E indicator means the sensor keys are not responding.

## What Flashing light below D or E actually means.

On the R23841 a flashing signal light below the D or E indicator means the sensor keys are not responding. Until it is repaired, the refrigerator runs on in safe mode, choosing its own temperature without input from you.

What to do when Flashing light below D or E shows on the refrigerator

### Kind of code Communication

Two boards that stopped hearing each other — the main control and the display, or the inverter. A harness is checked before a board.

### Usually leads to Controls and sensors

A refrigerator cools to what it believes the temperature is, and a sensor reading wrong is obeyed perfectly.

### Shows up as Refrigerator Control Panel Not Responding

Buttons do nothing, the display is blank or frozen, or settings will not hold.

### Make ASKO

Scandinavian integrated refrigeration, mostly behind furniture panels.

### Source Asko Instructions for use, models R23841 / R23844, troubleshooting table (PDF on the Gorenje Group document server)

Asko R23841 and R23844 refrigerators, whose signal lights sit below the printed markings. On the RFN23841 the equivalent signal sits above 2°C or D.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from ASKO's own guidance for Flashing light below D or E on its refrigerators. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Let it keep running; the refrigerator does not need its keys to hold temperature in safe mode.

02

Book a visit, since the only remedy the manual gives is a repair.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [controls and sensors](https://refrigeratorrepair.center/services/controls-and-sensors/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

A steady light at D is the super cool function and a steady one at E is the Eco setting. Only a flashing light there reports the keys.

## What you may notice with it.

## Questions about Flashing light below D or E.

### Can I clear Flashing light below D or E myself?

Let it keep running; the refrigerator does not need its keys to hold temperature in safe mode. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Will my Asko R23841 keep cooling with a flashing light below D or E?

Yes, it continues in safe mode and picks a temperature on its own without any key input. The flashing light only reports sensor keys that are not responding.

### Is a light under D or E on the R23841 always a warning?

No, a steady light at D shows super cool and a steady light at E shows the Eco setting. Only a flashing light at those positions means the keys need a repair.
