Possible Causes

Internal failure of main control board, Corrupted control firmware, Shorted sensor causing control malfunction

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before accessing the control board.

  • Power reset: Unplug the refrigerator for 10 minutes, then plug back in and observe operation.
  • Check for other codes: If E10 appears with other sensor codes (E1–E4), address those sensor issues first.
  • Inspect board: Remove the rear control cover and visually inspect the main control board for burnt components or corrosion.

If E10 persists after resets and sensor checks, the main control board will likely need replacement. This is typically a direct swap of the board, transferring each harness one at a time to the new board.
