Possible Causes
Recent power surge or outage, Corrupted control board firmware, Failing main control board, Loose control board connectors
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before accessing the control board compartment.
- Perform a full reset: Disconnect power for at least 10 minutes. While unplugged, press and hold any control panel buttons for 10 seconds to discharge residual power. Restore power and see if HRS clears.
- Check control connections: Access the main control board (often behind a rear cover). Reseat all connectors firmly, ensuring no pins are bent.
- Surge protection: If HRS followed a storm or outage, consider using a refrigerator-rated surge protector to prevent future damage.
- Board replacement: If HRS returns immediately after reset and wiring is good, the main control board is likely defective and should be replaced with the correct GE Profile part number.
