# Samsung refrigerator showing Ice Off blinking

A blinking Ice Off indicator means the ice bucket is missing or is not seated correctly.

## What Ice Off blinking actually means.

A blinking Ice Off indicator means the ice bucket is missing or is not seated correctly. The refrigerator is telling you the bucket needs attention. Nothing has broken.

What to do when Ice Off blinking shows on the refrigerator

### Kind of code Mode, not a failure

A setting somebody chose, or an alert it raised on purpose — a showroom mode, a door or power alarm. Nothing has broken and no part is needed.

### Usually leads to No repair

Take the ice bucket out and push it back in firmly until it seats.

### Shows up as Refrigerator Not Cooling

The compartment is warm but the appliance still has power and still makes noise.

### Make Samsung

French door refrigeration with large displays, flexible compartments and complex ice systems.

### Source Samsung US support: refrigerator error codes

Models with a removable ice bucket and an Ice Off indicator.

## Before you book, in this order.

01

Take the ice bucket out and push it back in firmly until it seats.

02

If it is missing, put it back.

03

Watch the indicator; it should stop blinking once the bucket is in place.

### Cleared?

### What not to do

It is not an ice maker failure and does not need a repair visit.

Take the ice bucket out and push it back in firmly until it seats.

### Why is Ice Off blinking on my Samsung refrigerator?
