After a power outage my Samsung SRS580DHLS is displaying and flashing SE? What does this code mean and how do I fix it? Rirht now the control panel only displays SE and does not respond to any presses
Your control board is reacting to a surge in power. Unplug the unit for 5 minutes then replug and follow normal starting procedures. If that does not work think about buying a new unit.

compressors use a small start / run capacitor to start the compressor
modern fridges do not like spikes from power outages and many power boards and electronic components fail because of this and I am inclined top use a surge protector before the fridge cord plug
I went google and typed in --fault code 88-88 for samsung fridge model rf26aewp and the first site up is error codes /messages/ blinking
the site is support-us.samsung>popup>iframe
there is a detailed answer there with a list of fault codes as well and what they indicate
there are other sites that also refer to the fault that you have
this is the control board you will need for your model if unplugging the unit for 5 minutes doesn't fix the problem. If they are LED lights, then I point my finger at this. This is a plug and play board with molex connectors. Very easy to install with unit unplugged. You can manually reset the display and check for error codes by holding the top left and top right button on your user interface for 5 seconds in unison FOR 5 or more seconds after all the lights flash.
According to Samsung Customer Support SE stand for Sensor Error... after a power outage... so follow the same procedure as 1e (holding the save energy and lighting button for about 6 to 10 seconds.)
I would say that is not a feature, it's a problem. Sounds like the control board has no battery backup of any kind to retain settings in case such an outage occurs. If still under warranty, have it fixed. A refrigerator should be trusted to be left unattended, if this has been this way from new, you should have complained the first time it happened. If they say that it's in the design and all of these do this, perhaps there's a class action waiting to happen.
