Before you call
Safe checks you can make
These are simple, non-hazardous checks only. If anything is unclear, stop and contact a technician.
For 117 b7E, start by doing this: check that the ice maker is enabled and the bucket is seated correctly.
The next non-invasive check is to confirm freezer/ice-room temperature and household water supply are normal where applicable.
The next non-invasive check is to remove only loose accessible ice; do not chip ice with sharp tools or concentrated heat.
With 117 b7E recorded, use the exact model's Samsung ice-maker test/reset procedure.
As an external check for 117 b7E, photograph the code before resetting or unplugging the refrigerator.
For 117 b7E, start by doing this: verify doors, visible airflow/ice obstructions, water/ice-bin seating, or demo mode only when relevant.
Important safety warning. Protect food if temperatures are no longer safe. Do not open the sealed refrigeration system or energized inverter/compressor circuits. For 117 b7E, stop troubleshooting immediately if the symptom crosses into a safety hazard rather than a normal diagnostic condition.

You can try the one reset Samsung documents for the model, but **117 b7E** returning afterward means the condition still exists. Note the operating stage instead of cycling power repeatedly.
That depends on the accompanying symptom. A code with no safety hazard may allow a short diagnostic check, but **117 b7E** should not be ignored if performance is deteriorating or the display keeps returning.
No. **117 b7E** tells you which condition or check the control detected. The same display can result from the named component, its wiring, a connector, a supply/airflow/water condition, or the control that reads it.
The same-looking code can be reused on another Samsung appliance family or reformatted by region/model year. Match the appliance type and exact model before applying a meaning. This page therefore keeps **Refrigerator 117 b7E** separate from same-looking codes used by other Samsung appliance families.
