How do I fix Error message 5E on samsung refrigerator RS267TD which popped up after a power surge? I have already unplugged it for 5 minutes

I must admit I know nothing about modern computerised fridges, though I do know a bit about computers.

If you don't have your computerised appliances surge protected - modern tv and radio, hi-fi, fridge and so forth are in reality either computers or contain computers - one or more of them is likely to be damaged by a power surge or voltage spike.
Sometimes even with surge protection they can be damaged.

Bear in mind if damage has occurred it is possible the error message means little or nothing.

I suggest you read the instruction manual and then contact the manufacturer's customer service for advice and then perhaps ask a local repairer the same questions.

Did you have surge protection on this printer? If not, when the power went back on, the surge of current may have damaged it. Surge protection is very important on all devices with electronics in them! If it wasn't a very expensive printer to begin with, it won't be worth fixing whatever the cause. You can take it too a computer store and have it looked at, but they will charge for that, of course.

Our electricity went out for a few minutes, and since then the TV will not turn on. The green light is flashing. We tried resetting it by pushing a pen point into the reset hole, but it does nothing. ...

Your power outage may have been caused by a nearby lightning strike, or any number of
1000 different reasons that cause power surges, brown-outs, voltage spikes, inductive loading,
and/or utility pole breaker trips and resets (this accounts for your power loss (a pole breaker trip),
followed by restoration of power (the pole breaker automatically reset) - even plain old high electrical demand causing an overload due to air conditioning demands caused by hot weather.
When the pole breaker reset, your TV caught a power surge.
Whenever a power outage occurs, quickly power off (or better, unplug) any/all computers, TVs,
etc. that are not protected by surge-protection.
As an electrician, when someone loses an item of electronics concommitant to an electrical
anomaly, its almost
always traceable to a nearby lightning strike (or the power company provided equivalent), accompanied by inadequate surge protection for
the VCR/TV/Computer/Stereo/uninsured valuable electronic item/XBOX 360/Nintendo Wii.
Surge protection can
be provided by the consumer at the power strip (a good one with builtin MOV protection and a
warranty costs $20, whereas a zero-protection 4-outlet or 6-outlet power strip will cost $4-$5).
Your electrician can provide whole-house surge protection where a whole-house MOV-based (metal oxide varistor) surge protector, or per-circuit protection can be installed with
a GFCI breaker (or better, an AFCI breaker) can be installed.
GFCI = ground fault circuit interruptor
AFCI = Arc fault circuit interruptor
Lightning protection is especially important in Florida, which is the "lightning capital of the world."
I've never found a good solution to lightning-fried electronics (random power supply components are destroyed and/or fuse blown), other than renters insurance or homeowners insurance.

Your only real hope for an economical fix is to look for a blown fuse, and replace it.

If desperate to attempt a fix on your own, you could try replacing the entire TV power supply as a module, but even this provides
no guarantee of a fix - lightning damage can extend beyond the power supply.
When traveling, I will always unplug everything before I leave (except the security system),
and also turn off the breakers to unneeded house circuits (which kills the wall switches that
control interior lighting - forcing a burglar to use their flashlight instead of interior lighting)
which is the least convenient lightning protection, but highly effective, and cheap (free).

After a bad lightening storm, our Intermatic HB88RC timer is stuck on zeros and won't budge for setting the clock or programs. Is there a way to reset it and start over? We've unplugged it for a...

Open following link to identify timer, download manual and see replacement product for discontinued HB88
http://waterheatertimer.org/Intermatic-timers-and-manuals.html#hb88

Electronic timers are susceptible to power surge, even nearby surge that gets picked up by household wires or internal timer parts. All wires carry current when exposed to nearby current. Same principle when cell-phone recharge transformer converts 120V to lower volts-amps without wires directly connected.

HB88 timer is reset by removing/replacing AA battery.
If reset does not restore functionality, then timer has gone bad.

Whole house surge protector can protect circuit breakers and electronics that are not connected to typical power-strip surge protector. For example HVAC unit and electronic water heater controls are not protected from surge. Household items that are connected to co-ax cable also need separate protection.
