How to Fix E10 Error (Step-by-Step)

  1. Disconnect the refrigerator from its power source to ensure safety.
  2. Locate the main control board housing on the back of the unit and remove its protective cover.
  3. Before disconnecting anything, take a clear picture of the board and all its wire connections to use as a guide.
  4. Methodically disconnect each wire harness from the old control board. Most have locking tabs that need to be pressed.
  5. Remove the screws or release the clips holding the old board in place and carefully lift it out.
  6. Install the new main control board, ensuring it is securely mounted. Refer to your photo to reconnect all wire harnesses to their correct ports.
