Error Code: 2C Difficulty: Moderate

Problem: Refrigerator compartment sensor error – alias of 2E

How to Fix 2C Error

UNPLUG THE REFRIGERATOR. This error indicates a fault with the refrigerator compartment temperature sensor.
The sensor is usually located inside the fresh food section, behind a plastic cover on the rear wall or ceiling. You will need to remove the shelves to access it.
Remove the cover, locate the sensor, and disconnect its wire harness. Use a multimeter to test the sensor’s resistance. At room temperature, it should read approximately 5,000 ohms (5kΩ). If the reading is infinite (open) or near zero (shorted), it has failed.
Replace the faulty sensor, reconnect the wiring, and reassemble the covers and shelves.
