How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before working inside the ice room.

Step 1 – Reset and observe:

  • Press and hold Power Freeze and Power Cool for 8–10 seconds.
  • If 14E reappears, proceed to inspection.

Step 2 – Inspect the ice room:

  • Remove the ice bucket and any shelves blocking access.
  • Check for excessive frost or ice buildup in the ice room; if present, defrost the area with a hair dryer on low, keeping it moving.
  • Inspect the ice room sensor and wiring harness for damage or loose connections.

Step 3 – Replace the ice room sensor (advanced):

  • Unplug the refrigerator.
  • Remove the ice maker cover and locate the sensor (often clipped to the ice room wall or duct).
  • Disconnect the sensor from the harness and install a new Ice Room Sensor, routing the wires as originally installed.

Note: If the error persists after sensor replacement, the Main PCB may not be reading the sensor correctly and should be evaluated by a technician.
