Keep the door shut and press Temp once to read the warmest temperature the freezer reached. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why is my new Samsung convertible freezer blinking right after delivery? Samsung lists the first start-up after installation as one of the times this warning appears, because the cabinet begins at room temperature. It should stop once the freezer reaches its set point. ### How do I see how warm my Samsung freezer got during the outage? Press Temp while the display is blinking. The warmest temperature reached in the freezer flashes for five seconds, and that is the reading to use when deciding what food to keep. ### My Samsung upright freezer keeps blinking even though the power never went out. Why? Then the cabinet is warming for another reason, such as a door not closing, a stopped fan or a defrost problem. Move the food somewhere cold and book a visit. --- **[Read on the site: Samsung convertible freezer display blinking: the cabinet got too warm during an outage](https://freezerrepair.center/error-codes/samsung-blinking-temperature-display/)** **[Book a visit with FreezerRepair.center](https://freezerrepair.center/schedule/)**
