How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the freezer before working inside.

Er FS is another freezer sensor error code used on some LG models.

  • Locate freezer sensor: Identify the thermistor on the freezer wall or near the evaporator cover.
  • Inspect harness: Look for pinched or cut wires, especially where they pass through cabinet walls.
  • Test thermistor: Disconnect and measure resistance. Replace if open, shorted, or far from spec.
  • Check PCB connection: From the rear, ensure the sensor connector is firmly seated on the main board.

If Er FS remains after sensor and wiring checks, the main PCB may need replacement by a professional.
