What 76C
actually means.
On Samsung models with an Autofill water pitcher, 76C or a blinking Autofill light means the unit has detected water in the Autofill compartment. The pitcher fills itself from the same supply as the ice maker, so an overflow or drip there sets off this alert.

What to do when 76C shows on the ice makerKind of codeWater supply and fill
The ice maker asked for water and got too little, too slowly or none at all, or water kept arriving after the fill should have ended. A closed shutoff, a kinked line, a clogged filter and low house pressure are ruled out before the water inlet valve is replaced or the fill tube is thawed. If water is on the floor, close the supply valve before reading anything on the display.
Usually leads toIce maker water inlet valve repair
The electric valve that lets water into the ice maker, tested and replaced when it will not open, opens only partway, or keeps dripping after it should have closed.
Shows up asIce Maker Leaking on the Floor
A puddle that spreads from under the door dispenser, from the kickplate of the freezer, from beneath an undercounter unit or around a countertop model, and comes back after you mop it up is the classic sign of an ice maker leaking on the floor.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Samsung's own guidance for 76C on its ice makers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Take out the Autofill pitcher and wipe the compartment dry.
Check that the pitcher lid is closed and the pitcher sits fully in its place before refitting it.
If the light blinks again with a dry compartment and a seated pitcher, book a visit to check the valve and the sensor.

What not to do
76C is not an ice maker code as such; it concerns the pitcher that shares the water supply. It is also not a leak onto the floor, although water that keeps collecting there should be checked soon.

Water supply and fill on other makes
Door ice maker
The ice maker that feeds the dispenser on the outside of a door: tucked into an insulated box in the left door of a French door model, or at the top of the freezer side of a side-by-side, with a chute and an auger carrying cubes to your glass.
Freezer ice maker
The ice maker that sits inside the freezer compartment itself, a tray that twists or a mold with a heater and an ejector, dropping cubes into a bin or drawer you open by hand, with no dispenser on the door.
