41EWarning

Samsung Refrigerator 41E Error Code

The evaporator fan in the freezer is not running or is faulty, leading to poor cooling.

Common causes

  • Fan motor failure (seized or open winding)
  • Obstruction preventing fan blade rotation (ice buildup or debris)
  • Loose or damaged wiring

How to fix it

  1. Unplug the refrigerator and remove the freezer back panel to access the fan.
  2. Check if the fan blade spins freely; if not, clear any ice or obstruction.
  3. Test motor winding resistance with a multimeter (should be low ohms).
⚠ When to call a pro: If the motor is seized or has no continuity, replacement is necessary.
