Samsung POWER-ON BLINK status display

What it means

The operation LED can blink when power is first applied. The manual says this indicates power is on and stops when the remote's on/off button is pressed. Manual trigger: Power-on blinking shows the indoor unit has just received power.

Urgency

Likely causes

Homeowner fix

Press Power on the remote once. If the blink stops and normal operation begins, no repair is needed.

When to call a pro

Call for service if the unit never responds to the remote, no lights appear, or a C-code follows.

Repair vs replace

This is a normal operating status, not a repair-or-replace decision.
