Possible Causes

    • Defective temperature sensor or thermistor in refrigerator or freezer compartment • Loose or damaged wiring connections to temperature sensor harness • Control board malfunction or failure • Refrigerant leakage causing temperature regulation failure • Faulty damper control unable to regulate airflow between compartments • Power supply issues affecting sensor signal transmission • Failed evaporator fan motor preventing cold air circulation • Condensation causing sensor corrosion in humid USA kitchen environments

Safety Checks You Can Do

    • Check your home's circuit breaker panel to ensure the refrigerator's dedicated breaker is in the ON position and not tripped; reset if necessary • Verify that refrigerator and freezer doors close completely and seal properly with no gaps • Review control panel settings to ensure temperature is not set to the warmest setting; adjust to recommended settings (37-40°F for refrigerator, 0°F for freezer) • Wait 4-6 hours after plugging in or after power restoration for the refrigerator to stabilize internal temperatures before expecting error to clear • Perform a hard reset by turning off the circuit breaker serving the refrigerator for 60 seconds, then switching it back ON to allow the control board to reinitialize • Check that the refrigerator is not in demo/showroom mode by reviewing the user manual for mode reset instructions • Ensure adequate airflow around the refrigerator with at least 2 inches of clearance on sides and back for proper ventilation
