Error Code: RV Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Indicates ‘reverse piloting’ in diagnostic mode.
How to Fix RV Error (Step-by-Step)
- This is not a fault code, but an indicator that the refrigerator is operating in a check mode.
- The simplest way to exit check mode is to perform a power cycle reset.
- Unplug the refrigerator’s power cord from the wall outlet and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Leave the unit unplugged for at least five minutes. This allows the internal electronics to fully discharge and reset.
- Plug the power cord back into the outlet and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- The control panel should restart, and the ‘RV’ code will be gone, returning the refrigerator to its normal cooling operation.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
Still Not Working?
