Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before removing the control panel or handling electronics.
Steps:
- Power reset: Unplug the unit for 10–15 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge, then plug back in. This can clear minor glitches.
- Check for moisture: Inspect the control panel area for condensation or spills. Dry the surface thoroughly. If moisture is suspected inside, leave the unit unplugged with doors open for several hours.
- Inspect connections: Remove the control panel (usually clips or screws) and check the ribbon cable between the UI and main board. Reseat connectors firmly.
- Look for damage: Burn marks, corrosion, or cracked boards indicate the UI board should be replaced.
Note: If replacing the UI does not resolve E15, the main control board or communication bus may be faulty and should be serviced by a professional.
