How to Fix All icons flashing Error

This is not an error. It is the normal startup behavior of the refrigerator after it is first plugged in or after a power outage.
The flashing indicates the refrigerator is running a self-diagnostic test.
Do not press any buttons. Allow the diagnostic to complete, which usually takes a few minutes.
The display will return to normal temperature readings once the test is finished.

If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
