Resetting Error Notifications
Resetting error notifications can often clear the display after an issue has been resolved or if a false alarm occurs. Here is how to reset error codes:
- Verify the Cause: Ensure that the underlying issue triggering the error is addressed.
- Power Cycle: Turn off the refrigerator for a minimum of five minutes to allow the control system to reset.
- Restart the Unit: Turn the appliance back on and monitor the display for further alert codes.
- Advanced Reset: Some models may have a reset button on the control panel. Consult your specific model's manual for detailed instructions.
If the error code reappears after resetting, it might indicate a persistent issue that requires further investigation.

While some error codes can be managed through simple troubleshooting, others might require the expertise of a professional technician. Contact professional support if:
- The error persists despite following basic troubleshooting steps.
- The refrigerator stops functioning altogether.

In these scenarios, contacting a licensed technician ensures that your refrigerator is repaired swiftly and safely, minimizing downtime and preventing further damage. Always refer to the warranty and service agreements for guidance on obtaining professional support services.
