Disconnect the refrigerator from its power source and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
First, replace the main control board by following the steps for the ‘D7 ILLUMINATED’ error.

Pry open the sensor cover with a small flathead screwdriver.
Disconnect the old sensor’s wire harness, then remove the sensor.
Install the new sensor, reconnect its wire harness, and snap the cover back into place.
Reassemble the rear access panel, plug the refrigerator back in, and monitor for normal operation.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
