Error Code: F3 Difficulty: Hard
Problem: Temperature error, likely a defective temperature sensor.
How to Fix F3 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Safely disconnect the refrigerator from its power source and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- The temperature sensor (thermistor) is typically located inside the freezer, behind the back panel, clipped to the evaporator coils.
- You will need to remove the shelves and the back panel inside the freezer to access the sensor.
- Visually inspect the sensor and its wiring for any signs of damage, corrosion, or a loose connection.
- Reconnect any loose plugs securely. If the wiring is damaged, the sensor assembly will need to be replaced.
- Testing the sensor’s resistance requires a multimeter and knowledge of the correct specifications, which is best left to a professional.
- If no visible issues are found, the sensor (Part #5303918214) has likely failed and requires replacement by a service service.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
Still Not Working?
If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
