How to Fix Electrolux Refrigerator Error F5

Error Code: F5 Difficulty: Hard

Problem: Temperature error, likely from a defective temperature sensor.

How to Fix F5 Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Turn off power to the refrigerator at the circuit breaker or by unplugging it.
2. Begin by locating the sensor in the fresh food section. It is often housed in a small plastic casing near an air duct. Check for a secure wire connection.
3. Next, inspect the freezer sensor. This requires emptying the freezer and removing the rear interior panel to access the evaporator coil area where the sensor is located.
4. Look for any obvious signs of damage to the sensor or its wires. Ensure the plug is firmly seated.
5. A definitive diagnosis to determine which sensor is faulty requires testing with a multimeter, which is a task for a qualified service.
6. If the connections appear secure, the issue likely requires professional service to test and replace the correct component.
7. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

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