How to Fix E10 Error (Step-by-Step)

  1. First, try to reset the refrigerator by unplugging it for 5 minutes to see if the error clears.
  2. Check the refrigerator’s temperature setting and consider setting it to a colder temperature or activating the ‘Super Cool’ function to see if it can reach the desired temperature.
  3. Ensure that the air vents inside the refrigerator are not blocked by food items, which can restrict airflow.
  4. Unplug the refrigerator from the wall outlet for safety and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
  5. Locate the water inlet valve at the back of the refrigerator, which controls water flow to the ice maker and dispenser.
  6. Disconnect the water lines and electrical connections from the old valve, then remove the mounting screws.
  7. Install the new water valve (part 242252702), reconnect the water lines and electrical harness, and plug the refrigerator back in.
  8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
