No — this code is not a fault. If it smells like burning, sparks, or trips the breaker, switch it off at the breaker and leave it off until it is checked.

— Samsung US, Samsung refrigerator error codes. Codes vary by model: check your refrigerator’s own manual.
In plain words, 85C is about the power supply or wiring — voltage out of range, a blown fuse, or a wiring fault.
Samsung gives 2 other power and wiring codes for this refrigerator: 85E (Compressor Under Voltage Error), 86E (Compressor Over Voltage Error).
Next to 85C in Samsung’s table: 76C (Water is detected in the Autofill compartment) and 83E (Compressor Abnormal Current Detection Error).
Safety: If it smells like burning, sparks, or trips the breaker, switch it off at the breaker and leave it off until it is checked.
At least WHENEVER. This code is a mode, a reminder or a status message rather than a fault. It does not need a repair on its own. This is fixRAgent’s reading, not the manufacturer’s. A photo can raise it — water near wiring, scorch marks, a gas smell — but a code never lowers what the photo shows.
Appliance repair. Have the model and serial numbers from the label ready — a photo of the label works.
Check whether your model is under a safety recall on the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s site: cpsc.gov/Recalls. Your owner’s manual is on Samsung’s support site; search it with the model number from the label.
