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

Unplug the refrigerator from the power outlet for safety and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Locate the thermistor inside the fresh food compartment. It is usually found near the top, behind a small plastic cover.
Carefully remove the cover to expose the thermistor. You may need a small screwdriver.
Disconnect the wire harness attached to the old thermistor and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Remove the old thermistor from its mounting clip and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Install the new thermistor by snapping it into the mounting clip and reconnecting the wire harness.
Replace the cover, plug the refrigerator back in, and monitor for normal operation.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
