You might want to read about code 40, which carries an identical solenoid label, or the fill tube entries 42 and 43.
What muting does
Silencing the alarm on an ActiveSmart refrigerator does not clear the solenoid fault in the ice maker. A technician is still needed, and the beep count or LED pattern you noted helps confirm that the code is 41.
No text anywhere
Neither the door nor the control panel prints the meaning. The only evidence is the sound and the light show, so write down what you observed before muting.
Where to turn for solenoid service
Residents of San Francisco and the Bay Area can dial (415) 969-2271; the page DCS refrigerator repair lists what is covered. Quote 41 and your model number when you ring.
Model compatibility: DCS reuses codes across series and model years, so 41 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
An ice maker solenoid issue, delivered through alarm beeps or binary LED flashing.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
