Samsung refrigerator 41: Family Hub display warning
THE SHORT ANSWER
Family Hub display warning.
A 41 or 42 display with flashing interior blue lights calls for a Family Hub panel reboot. Identify the full symptom combination first.
Confirm the code is accompanied by the Family Hub blue-light behavior.
Keep food protected while cooling is interrupted. Do not probe powered connectors, chip ice with a sharp tool, or open the sealed refrigerant system.
