What AP
actually means.
AP stands for Access Point. The refrigerator shows it while it is ready to be connected to Wi-Fi through SmartThings, usually after someone held the setup button. It clears when setup finishes or after a while if it does not.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Samsung's own guidance for AP on its refrigerators. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Finish the SmartThings setup if you started it.
If you did not mean to start it, wait; the code goes away by itself.
Confirm the compartments are cold, which they should be.
Cleared?
Nothing needed repairing. If the refrigerator does not settle back to temperature, that is a separate problem.
What not to do
It is not an error and has nothing to do with cooling. No visit is needed.
