Samsung RL39WBSW beeping regularly light has stopped working?

I have the RL39WBSW Fridge Freezer and the fridge has started beeping regularly (the same beep that sounds if the door is left open.) I have taped the switch in that does this and it seems to have stopped (I think the door has dropped slightly.)

However the light has also stopped working (whether the switch is pressed or not.) Having bought two (expensive) replacement flourescent lamps I can see it's not the bulb and I assume these are linked? I can hear the relay click when I push the switch in and release it.

Is there a fault code mode I can initiate to see what the problem is? Still not certain if the tape fixes the beeping - I think it beeped despite this being in place.

Any fixes/suggestions welcome! Including a fix to the dropped door.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I think it`s relay for light (fourth from the right, on larger electronic board)

I have exactly the same problem, on exactly the same fridge as yours. The light kept flashing, I bought a new bulb, but made no difference, so we thought it must be the switch, so found one online, and that came today, my husband put it in, and it was fine for a while, then it done exactly the same as before, the fluorescent tube kept flashing, but now nothing happens. Getting a bit fed up with this fridge. Hoping somebody can throw some light on the problem. Like you I can hear it clicking. We wondered if there was a starter on the tube, like there is on ceiling fluorescent tubes.
