Refrigerator Evaporator Sensor Failure
E4
Freezer section shows E4 and heavy frost builds up on the freezer evaporator; airflow to upper drawers is reduced.
Freezer Evaporator Sensor Failure
E5
Display shows E5 and the refrigerator may not defrost; ice accumulates on the evaporator and rear wall.
Defrost Heater Circuit Fault
E6
Error E6 on display; fan noise stops and interior temperature becomes uneven between shelves.
Evaporator Fan Motor Fault
E7
Display shows E7 and the compressor does not start or runs only for a few seconds before stopping.
Compressor Start/Drive Circuit Fault
E8
Alarm beeps, E8 appears on the display, and the interior light or control panel behaves erratically.
Door Switch or Door Sensor Fault
E9
Display shows E9 and the ice maker (if fitted) does not produce ice; sometimes water may not dispense.
Ice Maker or Ice Box Sensor Fault
EA
Error EA on display; water dispenser does not operate or stops mid-flow.
Water Inlet Valve or Flow Sensor Fault
EC
Display shows EC and the refrigerator may not cool correctly; sometimes accompanied by relay clicking.
Main Control Board Communication or Internal Fault
EF
EF appears on the display and an audible alarm sounds; temperatures may be normal or slightly off.
General Sensor or Configuration Error
Symptom
Alarm beeping and temperature warning light on, but interior feels cold and food is frozen.
False High-Temperature Alarm
Symptom
Clicking noise from the rear and the compressor repeatedly tries to start but stops after a few seconds.
Compressor Start Failure
Symptom
Condensation or water droplets forming on the door gasket and around the door frame.
Door Gasket Leakage or Anti-Condensation Heater Issue
Symptom
Display panel not responding to touch or buttons; temperatures cannot be adjusted.
User Interface (UI) or Display PCB Failure
Symptom
Excessive frost or ice buildup on the back wall of the freezer or refrigerator.
Defrost System Failure
Symptom
Freezer door difficult to open immediately after closing; feels like it is vacuum sealed.
Normal Pressure Equalization Effect
Symptom
Freezer not freezing properly; ice cream is soft and food is thawing.
Loss of Refrigerant Charge or Weak Compressor
Symptom
Ice maker not producing ice, but water dispenser works normally.
Ice Maker Mechanical or Fill Fault
Symptom
Interior light does not turn on when the door is opened.
Door Switch or LED Module Failure
Symptom
Interior light works but compressor and fans do not run; temperature rises in both compartments.
Control Board Output or Relay Failure
Symptom
Refrigerator cycles on and off very frequently (short cycling).
Control or Sensor Instability
Symptom
Refrigerator does not start at all; display is off and there are no sounds.
No Power / Power Supply Failure
Symptom
Refrigerator door does not close properly or swings open by itself.
Door Hinge or Alignment Problem
Symptom
Refrigerator emits a burning smell or there are visible scorch marks near the rear.
Electrical Overheating or Short Circuit
Symptom
Refrigerator exterior side walls feel very warm to the touch.
Condenser Heat Dissipation or Mullion Heater Operation
Symptom
Refrigerator is noisy; loud humming, rattling, or buzzing sounds during operation.
Mechanical Vibration or Fan Noise
Symptom
Refrigerator makes a gurgling or hissing noise periodically.
Normal Refrigerant Flow Sounds
Symptom
Refrigerator not cooling or cooling very poorly while the freezer seems to work normally.
Air Duct or Damper Obstruction
Symptom
Refrigerator runs constantly and is too cold; food in the refrigerator compartment may freeze.
Thermostat or Temperature Sensor Misreading
Symptom
Strong unpleasant odor inside the refrigerator even after basic cleaning.
Persistent Organic Contamination or Blocked Airflow
Symptom
Water dispenser not working; no water flows when the lever is pressed.
Water Supply or Dispenser Valve Problem
Symptom
Water leaking inside the refrigerator compartment, often pooling under the crisper drawers.
Blocked Defrost Drain
Symptom
Water leaking onto the floor from under the refrigerator.
Overflowing or Misaligned Drain Pan
