How to Fix FLASHING ‘F’ Error (Step-by-Step)

Open the refrigerator and freezer doors and check for any food items that may be blocking the air vents. Rearrange items to ensure clear airflow.
Inspect the door gaskets to make sure they are clean and creating a complete seal when the doors are closed.
Unplug the refrigerator from the power outlet and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Leave the refrigerator unplugged for five full minutes to allow the internal computer to perform a hard reset.
Plug the refrigerator back into the power outlet. The code should now be cleared.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
Check for simple blockages (lint screen, drain path, or filter) and clean anything you find.

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