How to Fix ER T1 – ER T6 Error (Step-by-Step)

Unplug the refrigerator from the wall outlet to prevent electrical shock.
Locate the temperature sensor (thermistor) inside the fresh food or freezer compartment. It is usually found clipped to the evaporator coils or housed in a small plastic casing on the wall.
Disconnect the wire harness from the faulty sensor and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
If the sensor is attached with a screw, remove it. Otherwise, gently unclip it from its mounting position.
Install the new temperature sensor (part 240597203) by connecting the wire harness and securing it in the same location as the old one.
Ensure the sensor is positioned correctly for accurate temperature readings.
Plug the refrigerator back in. The control board should now receive the correct temperature information, clearing the error code.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
