Precautionary measures

• Verify the refrigerator is plugged in securely to the wall outlet and power is reaching the unit • Ensure both refrigerator and freezer doors are closing fully and sealing properly • Check that temperature control settings are at recommended levels (typically 37-40°F for fridge, 0°F for freezer) • Allow the appliance to run for 24 hours after initial setup or power interruption to stabilize • Inspect air vents on both the refrigerator and freezer compartments to confirm they are not blocked by food items or ice • Verify the refrigerator is sitting level and stable on the floor using a level tool • Reset the appliance by unplugging it from the wall outlet for 60 seconds, then plugging it back in • After reset, monitor the unit for 2-3 hours to see if the error clears and temperatures normalize • If the F6 error persists after these checks, contact a professional appliance repair technician or appliance repair support service to diagnose and repair the temperature sensor components
