Precautionary measures

• Verify the refrigerator is plugged into a functioning outlet and the outlet has power by testing with another appliance • Check that both the refrigerator and freezer doors are fully closed and sealing properly without gaps • Ensure the appliance is level by using a bubble level on the front edge; adjust leveling feet if necessary • Confirm temperature settings are configured correctly for your desired cooling levels • Allow the refrigerator to stabilize for 4-6 hours after initial installation or following a power outage • Inspect all visible vents and air circulation areas inside the refrigerator and freezer for ice buildup or obstructions and gently clear if blocked • Verify the back of the refrigerator has adequate clearance (at least 2-3 inches) from walls for proper airflow • Perform a power reset by unplugging the refrigerator from the wall outlet or switching off the dedicated circuit breaker for 60 seconds, then restore power • Wait 15-20 minutes after power restoration for the control system to reinitialize • Check the control panel display to see if the E1 error has cleared • If the error code persists after these checks, contact a professional appliance repair technician or appliance repair support service to diagnose and repair the temperature sensor system
