Error Code: CL Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Indicates that a component is closed during diagnostic mode.
How to Fix CL Error (Step-by-Step)
- Understand that the ‘CL’ code is not an error, but an indicator used during the refrigerator’s self-check mode, showing a specific component test is complete.
- To exit the check mode, locate the main power button or control lock button on the display panel.
- Press and hold this button for 3-5 seconds until the display resets.
- If pressing a button does not work, you can reset the refrigerator’s main control board.
- Unplug the refrigerator from the wall outlet or turn off the corresponding circuit breaker.
- Wait for 5 minutes to allow the internal electronics to fully discharge.
- Plug the refrigerator back in or turn the circuit breaker on. The display should return to normal operation.
- 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.
