Precautionary measures

• Verify the refrigerator is plugged in securely to a 120V grounded outlet and the outlet has power by testing with another appliance • Ensure both the refrigerator and freezer doors are completely closed and the door seals are not damaged or cracked • Check that temperature settings are configured appropriately (typically 37-40°F for fresh food, 0°F for freezer) and adjust if needed • If the error appeared after a power outage, unplug the refrigerator for 60 seconds, then plug it back in to allow the system to reset • Verify the appliance is not located in direct sunlight or near heat sources and is positioned on a level, stable surface • Confirm air vents on the back and inside the refrigerator are not blocked by food items or debris • Check that nothing is obstructing the door closure and the appliance is not tilted • If the error persists after these checks, contact a professional appliance repair technician who can diagnose and repair sensor or control board issues
