How to Fix Electrolux Refrigerator Error FLASHING TRIANGLE

Error Code: FLASHING TRIANGLE Difficulty: Hard

Problem: Temperature alarm. This indicates that the temperature in the fridge or freezer is too high.

How to Fix FLASHING TRIANGLE Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Unplug the refrigerator from its power source for safety and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
2. First, inspect the door gaskets (seals) on both the refrigerator and freezer doors for any rips, tears, or gaps. Clean them with warm, soapy water and ensure they make a tight seal.
3. If the gaskets are damaged, they will need to be replaced. The old gasket can typically be pulled out of a channel in the door.
4. To install a new gasket (part 241778307 or 5304501270), press it firmly into the channel, starting at the corners and working your way around.
5. If gaskets are okay, the issue may be a faulty temperature sensor. Locate the sensor in the fresh food compartment, usually behind a small grille or in the control housing.
6. Disconnect the wiring from the old sensor and connect the new one (part 240597203 or 5303918775).
7. Reassemble all components, plug the unit back in, and allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize.
8. 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.
