How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before inspecting the indoor PCB.
- Step 1 – Power reset: Turn off the breaker for 10 minutes, then restore power and test.
- Step 2 – Check PCB history: If the PCB was recently replaced, confirm it is the correct Samsung part and that any required configuration steps were completed.
- Step 3 – Avoid repeated resets: If E461 returns immediately, further resets are unlikely to help.
- Technician required: EEPROM reprogramming or PCB replacement must be done by an authorized Samsung service provider with access to the correct firmware.
