The next time this happens try pressing the power freeze and power cool buttons together for various time lengths. If this doesn't work, you should call up a commercial refrigeration service for either advice or help fixing it. I do that on occasion when I don't know what to do and everything usually turns out good for me. http://www.pro-staffmechanical.com/servi...

I have the RFG298HDRS. I was able to reset the 33 E code by pressing and holding the Energy Saver (top left) and the Lighting (top right) buttons together for approximately 8-10 seconds.

That sounds like a power glitch. Try pressing and holding the power freeze and power cool buttons at the same time for about 8 to 13 seconds and see if it clears.

If that doesn't do it, let me know and I'll dig up the Fast Track on it.

I called Samsung and they said to shut down the fridge for a minute. If that didn't work to call a technician to clear the error code and display. I tried your fix to press the power freeze and power cool buttons at the same time for 8-13 seconds and it worked! Thanks very much!

This WORKED: "pressing and holding the power freeze and power cool buttons at the same time for about 8 to 13 seconds"

Thanks.

but not sure if clearing the error code is sufficient or we still need to correct the element, etc.

Removing the error code is one thing; but addressing the real concern behind the problem (to avoid malfunction or overheating) is another thing. any thoughts on how to address it?

SOURCE: After power outage, our Samsung

If the power outtage was less than 10 minutes unplug the unit for 20 minutes. Then attempt to restart the unit. If you have a display and nothing happens press power cool and power freeze for 8 seconds then use the up arrow to cycle through until you get to the final test and it should restart. If you still have the problem after doing the above, respond without rating the post and I wll help you. RS2556 Service manual is publication number SAM0097.pdf and can be found here:

Samsung Cooltech Plus Model SR-L659EVSS

The 'd' error code on your Samsung refrigerator indicates a problem with the refrigerator's defrost system. This could be caused by a number of issues, such as a faulty defrost heater, a faulty defrost sensor, or a problem with the control board.
To troubleshoot the problem, you can try resetting the refrigerator by unplugging it from the wall outlet for at least 5 minutes, then plugging it back in. This will reset the control board and may fix the issue. If the problem persists, you may need to check the defrost heater and sensor to see if they are functioning properly. If they are not, they may need to be replaced.

My Samsung fridge is flashing 33 E, 26 E and 8 E. I've tried holding down the top left and right buttons to reset; however, nothing happens. How can I fix this?

https://removeandreplace.com/2015/08/10/samsung-refrigerator-error-codes/

A power outage will make your Samsung fridge show the errors 1E and or SE. If this is the case, simply press the power save and lighting buttons for 10 seconds and the error will clear. OR... press the fridge and freezer buttons at the same time for 10 seconds to reset the control panel and clear the error code.Dec 10, 2016 https://removeandreplace.com/2016/12/10/samsung-refrigerator-flashing-blinking-faults-reset/

I have a Samsung refrigerator model RF323TEDBSR that after power outage is flashing 33 E. I have tried unplugging and replugging & pressing power freeze & power cool at same time, still nothing.help?

The 33E error can indicate a problem with the ice maker water fill tube heater. (This makes sure that ice doesn't form and cause the fill tube to break.) To attempt to reset the error, press and hold the Energy Saver and Lighting keys on the touch pad for 8+ seconds. These are the top buttons on each side of the temperature display.

If that reset doesn't help, you need to replace the left door. That is available here: http://www.searspartsdirect.com/model-number/rf323tedbsraa0001/1482/0161000.html . It's part 1.

I hope this helps.
