50 matchesHUB — LG Refrigerator Error Codes: Smart Diagnosis Guide
Reference hub covering all LG refrigerator fault codes displayed via Smart Diagnosis on French door, side-by-side, and bottom-freezer models.
1F — LG Refrigerator 1F Error Code: Freezer Defrost Sensor Fault
The freezer defrost temperature sensor has failed or is reading out of its expected range, preventing the automatic defrost cycle from operating correctly.
CL E — LG Refrigerator CL E Error: Door Cooling Fan Fault
CL E means the main control board lost communication with the door cooling fan, or the fan itself has stopped responding entirely. It's specific to LG French door and side-by-side models with the Linear Compressor system, and it's almost always isolated to the door section, not the main cabinet.
CH E — LG Fridge CH E Error Code: Chamber Temperature Sensor Fault
The control board is getting an open circuit, short circuit, or wildly out-of-range resistance reading from one of the compartment temperature sensors. LG French door fridges have multiple NTC thermistors for different zones, and CH E fires when any one of them stops reporting a believable temperature.
FF E — LG Refrigerator FF E Error Code: Freezer Fan Motor Failure
The freezer evaporator fan motor has stopped running or the control board cannot detect its operation. Without this fan, cold air cannot circulate from the freezer to the fresh food compartment.
IF E — LG Refrigerator IF E Error Code: Ice Maker Fan Motor Fault
The ice maker compartment fan motor has either failed or something's physically blocking it from spinning. It's a separate fan from your main freezer fan. When it stops, the ice maker zone warms up, ice production stops, and the board throws this code to let you know.
ER IF — LG Refrigerator ER IF Error Code: Ice Maker Sensor Fault
The ice maker temperature sensor has failed or is reading outside its expected range. The control board cannot accurately monitor ice maker temperature, so ice production stops as a safety measure.
ER CO — LG Refrigerator ER CO Error Code: Condenser Sensor Fault
The condenser temperature sensor's either failed or reading outside its normal range. On a lot of LG models, ER CO can also mean the main control board and the inverter board have lost communication with each other. Two different root causes, same error code.
DH F — LG Refrigerator DH F Error Code: Defrost Heater Fault
The defrost heater assembly has an open circuit or the thermal fuse in the defrost circuit has blown. The automatic defrost cycle cannot run, and frost will accumulate on the evaporator coils over time.
CF E — LG Refrigerator CF E Error Code: Condenser Fan Motor Failure
The condenser fan motor has stopped running. This fan blows air across the condenser coils to dissipate heat from the compressor. Without it, the compressor overheats and the refrigerator stops cooling.
HUB — GE Refrigerator Error Codes
GE's control board polls the fan motors, thermistors, and defrost heater constantly, checking voltage and resistance against programmed thresholds. When something falls out of range, it throws a code and logs it internally. This hub covers what each code means and which component to test first.
EF — GE Refrigerator EF Error Code: Evaporator Fan Motor Failure
The evaporator fan motor inside the freezer compartment has stopped running or isn't being detected by the control board. This fan pulls air across the cold evaporator coils and pushes it throughout the freezer and fresh food sections. No fan means no airflow, which means no cooling anywhere in the unit.
NC — GE Refrigerator NC Error Code: Not Cooling Fault
The fridge isn't reaching its target cooling temperature. The compressor's either not running or can't maintain adequate refrigerant pressure. Both compartments will warm to room temperature if you don't fix this, and it happens faster than you'd expect.
EC — GE Refrigerator EC Error Code: Evaporator Coil Fault
The control board lost accurate temperature data from the evaporator coil zone. Either the thermistor probe monitoring that coil has failed and is sending garbage readings, or the defrost system can't clear frost fast enough and the coil is getting buried in ice. Both situations kill the fridge's ability to cool properly.
ERR — GE Refrigerator ERR Error Code: General Communication Fault
The main control board and a secondary board (door board, dispenser board, or inverter board) have lost communication. The refrigerator may continue cooling but will have limited or no display and control functionality.
HUB — Kenmore 795 Series Refrigerator Error Codes (LG Platform)
Kenmore 795 series refrigerators are manufactured on the LG platform and use the same error code system as LG refrigerators. Codes appear on the front display and indicate sensor failures, fan issues, and communication faults.
HUB — Whirlpool Refrigerator Error Codes
Whirlpool WRF and WRS series refrigerators display alphanumeric error codes when sensors, fans, or control circuits detect a fault. Each code points to a specific subsystem, so you're not just guessing what broke. Find the code, check the wiring, then check the part.
REFRIGERATOR-DIAG — Whirlpool Fridge Diagnostic Mode: Read Error Codes
Whirlpool French door and side-by-side refrigerators include a built-in diagnostic mode that stores error codes related to temperature sensors, fan motors, defrost systems, and communication faults. Entering this mode lets you read the codes without any special tools.
REFRIGERATOR-DIAG-CODES — Whirlpool Refrigerator Diagnostic Codes Explained
After entering diagnostic mode, Whirlpool refrigerators display alphanumeric codes that identify which component or circuit triggered a fault. Each code maps to a specific sensor, fan, or control board function.
ER 1F — Kenmore Refrigerator ER 1F Error Code: Freezer Sensor Fault
ER 1F on a Kenmore 795 refrigerator means the freezer compartment defrost temperature sensor is out of range or has an open/short circuit. This is the same code as LG 1F and affects the same component.
ER RF — Kenmore Refrigerator ER RF Error: Sensor Fault
ER RF means the main control board is getting a signal from the fresh food compartment temperature sensor that's either way out of range, showing a dead short, or an open circuit. Basically the board looked at that sensor reading and said 'that number makes no sense' and threw up the error to protect itself.
E5 — Whirlpool Refrigerator E5 Error: Temperature Sensor Fault
E5 on a Whirlpool refrigerator means a temperature sensor in the freezer or fresh food compartment is reading outside the expected range. The control board cannot rely on the sensor data to regulate cooling.
PO — Whirlpool Refrigerator PO Alert: Power Outage Warning
PO on a Whirlpool refrigerator stands for Power Outage. The refrigerator detected an interruption in electrical power and is alerting you to check whether food temperatures were compromised during the outage.
22C — Samsung Refrigerator 22C Error: Freezer Sensor Fault Fix
Samsung refrigerator 22C means the freezer evaporator temperature sensor has failed or is reading outside the expected range. The freezer evaporator sensor monitors the temperature of the evaporator coil assembly to manage the defrost cycle and compressor operation. A failed sensor causes the control board to lose freezer temperature data, potentially disrupting cooling cycles.
25E — Samsung Refrigerator 25E Error: Fridge Defrost Sensor Fix
Samsung refrigerator 25E means the fridge compartment defrost sensor has failed or is reading outside its expected range. Think of it as the refrigerator-side version of 39C, which handles the freezer. The 25E sensor specifically monitors the defrost heater in the fresh food section on French door and side-by-side models that have their own separate evaporator coils.
2E — Samsung Refrigerator 2E Error: Freezer Sensor Shorted Fix
Samsung refrigerator 2E means the freezer temperature sensor is shorted. Its resistance dropped to near zero ohms, which the control board reads as an impossibly high temperature in the freezer. Think of it as the opposite of the 22C code. Both are freezer sensor faults, but 2E is a hard short, not a drift or open circuit.
33E — Samsung Refrigerator 33E Error Code
Samsung refrigerator 33E indicates the ice room fan motor inside the ice maker compartment has failed or is not running. On Samsung French door models, a small dedicated fan circulates cold air through the ice maker compartment to keep ice from clumping. When this fan stops, the ice maker compartment temperature rises, ice sticks together, and eventually the compartment freezes completely solid, blocking ice dispensing.
39C — Samsung Refrigerator 39C Error: Freezer Defrost Sensor Fix
Samsung 39C means the freezer's defrost sensor has tripped or failed, or the defrost heater itself has given out and ice has started building on the evaporator coils. It's the most common Samsung fridge error code by a mile, because defrost heater failure is basically the single most predictable hardware fault across the whole French door and side-by-side lineup.
40C — Samsung Refrigerator 40C Error: Ice Maker Sensor Fix
Samsung refrigerator 40C indicates a fault in the ice maker room ambient temperature sensor - the sensor that measures the air temperature inside the ice maker compartment rather than the ice tray itself. This is distinct from 40E (which monitors the ice maker cycle sensor) and is specific to Samsung French door and 4-door Flex models that have a dedicated ice maker room with its own climate monitoring.
40E — Samsung Refrigerator 40E Error: Ice Maker Sensor Fix
Samsung refrigerator 40E indicates a fault in the ice maker temperature sensor circuit. On French door and 4-door Flex models with automatic ice makers, the ice maker uses a dedicated temperature sensor to monitor the ice making tray and ice room temperatures. A failed or out-of-range sensor triggers 40E and interrupts ice maker operation.
HUB — Samsung Refrigerator Error Codes: 39C, 33E, 40E and More
Samsung refrigerators display numeric and alphanumeric codes on the door panel when a sensor, motor, or defrost component goes outside its expected range. Each code points to a specific circuit in the freezer, fridge, or ice maker. It's the fridge telling you exactly where to look instead of making you guess.
E2 — Bosch Refrigerator E2 Error Code: Ice Maker Sensor Fault
E2 on a Bosch refrigerator means the ice maker's temperature sensor is reading out of range, or it's got an open or short circuit. The ice maker has its own dedicated thermistor separate from the freezer sensor, and that's the one crying for help.
E3 — Bosch Refrigerator E3 Error: Freezer Sensor Fault
E3 means the freezer compartment temperature sensor is feeding the main control board garbage data, either an open circuit, a short, or readings that are way outside the normal operating range. The board literally doesn't know how cold your freezer is anymore.
HUB — Bosch Refrigerator E2, E3 Ice Maker and Sensor Error Codes
The control board is reading a resistance value from the NTC thermistor that's outside the expected range. Either too high, too low, or completely open circuit. E2 means the ice maker sensor is out of spec. E3 means the freezer evaporator sensor. Both use the same thermistor type, just in different spots inside the machine.
CE — Frigidaire Refrigerator CE Error Code: Communication Fault
CE means the main control board and the user interface board in the door can't communicate. They're supposed to talk back and forth constantly to sync settings and display status. When that data line drops, the CE code fires and the display either goes haywire or locks up entirely.
HUB — Frigidaire Refrigerator H1, F3, CE Error Codes
These are Frigidaire's built-in diagnostic alerts. H1 fires when the cabinet temp climbs above the safe threshold. F3 means a thermistor or sensor has gone open or shorted. CE is a communication error between the control board and another component, usually the evaporator fan motor or the compressor inverter board.
F3 — Frigidaire Refrigerator F3 Error: Temperature Sensor Fault
F3 means a temperature sensor has failed or is sending readings so far off that the control board won't trust them. The sensor's either open circuit, shorted, or reading something obviously wrong like 150 degrees inside a cold fridge.
H1 — Frigidaire Refrigerator H1 Error: High Temperature Alarm
H1 on a Frigidaire refrigerator means the internal temperature has risen above the safe threshold. This is a temperature alarm, not necessarily a component fault. H1 is the most common Frigidaire fridge code.
HUB — KitchenAid Refrigerator Error Codes: PO
KitchenAid runs on the Whirlpool control platform, so when a fault trips, the board logs a code that points to whichever sensor or circuit threw the flag. PO just means the board lost power and came back. Other codes point to specific circuits like the evaporator thermistor, the defrost heater, or the ice maker module.
41 — Samsung Refrigerator Error Code 41: Ice Room Fan Motor Fault
Error code 41 on a Samsung refrigerator means the ice room fan motor isn't running. This fan keeps cold air circulating through the ice maker compartment so your ice stays frozen and separate, not one big clump.
FREEZING — Ge Refrigerator Freezing Food: Causes and Fixes
The air damper or thermistor is giving the control board bad info, so the cooling system keeps running even when the fresh food section is already too cold. Basically the board thinks the fridge is warm when it's not, and temperatures drop well below the 37°F target.
FREEZING — Lg Refrigerator Freezing Food: Causes and Fixes
The fridge section is getting too much cold air from the freezer because the electronic damper is stuck open or a thermistor is telling the control board the temperature is warmer than it actually is, so the compressor keeps running when it shouldn't.
FREEZING — Samsung Refrigerator Freezing Food: Causes and Fixes
The fridge compartment is getting more cold air than it needs, either because the motorized damper that controls airflow between freezer and fridge is stuck open, or because the thermistor is sending a bad temperature reading and the board keeps calling for cold. Either way, the refrigerator section drops below 32°F and everything freezes.
FREEZING — Whirlpool Refrigerator Freezing Food: Causes and Fixes
The fridge compartment is getting too much cold air from the evaporator. Either the damper door isn't closing properly, the thermistor is sending bad temperature data so the board keeps calling for more cooling, or the temp was set way lower than it should be and nobody noticed.
COMPRESSOR — LG Refrigerator Compressor Not Running: Repair and Warranty
The compressor pressurizes refrigerant so it can absorb heat from inside the cabinet. When it stops running, refrigerant just sits there and nothing cools. LG's Linear Compressor design cuts down on moving parts but created specific failure points in the piston and valve assembly that ended up triggering a class action settlement.
ICE-BUILDUP — Samsung Fridge Ice Buildup: Defrost Heater and Drain
The refrigerator's automatic defrost system isn't melting frost off the evaporator coils fast enough, or the meltwater can't drain out properly. Ice accumulates on the coils until airflow from the freezer to the fresh food compartment gets completely blocked, causing fridge temps to rise while the freezer stays normal.
ICE-MAKER — Ge Refrigerator Ice Maker Not Working: Causes and Fixes
The GE ice maker runs a timed harvest cycle: it fills with water, freezes it, heats the mold just enough to release the cubes, then ejects them into the bin. When something breaks in that chain, whether it's water flow, temperature, or the harvest motor, the whole cycle stops and you get zero ice.
LEAKING — Ge Refrigerator Leaking Water: Causes and Fixes
Your GE refrigerator is actively losing water somewhere in the system. Could be the defrost drain backing up and overflowing, the water inlet valve dripping, or a seal failure in the water filter housing. The fridge itself is fine mechanically, but the water management system has a breach somewhere that needs to be tracked down.
NOISE — Ge Refrigerator Making Noise: Causes and Fixes
Your GE refrigerator is producing abnormal sound from one of its core mechanical systems, usually the evaporator fan motor, condenser fan, compressor start relay, or water inlet valve solenoid. These parts run constantly and wear out, and noise is almost always the first warning before something actually stops working.
WATER-DISPENSER — GE Refrigerator Water Dispenser Not Working: Fixes
When you press the dispenser lever, it signals the control board to open the water inlet valve and let line pressure push water through the filter, up through the door, and out the nozzle. A failure anywhere in that chain, from the valve to the door line to the filter to the switch itself, kills the flow.
