LG Refrigerator error codes

The codes people search for most, what each one means and what to check first. Tap a code for causes and step-by-step checks.

CodeWhat it means
Er CO
E CO, CO
Communication error
The main control board and the display panel are not communicating correctly.
Er dH
E dH, dH
Defrost error
The automatic defrost ran but the freezer coil did not warm up enough in the time allowed. Frost can keep building on the coil and cooling drops off.
Er FF
E FF, FF
Freezer fan error
The freezer fan motor is not turning properly. Ice or frost around the fan usually blocks it, and the freezer and fridge can start to warm up.
Er IF
E IF, IF
Ice maker fan error
The fan that blows cold air to the ice maker is blocked or not running. Frost or ice around the fan is the usual cause, and ice production slows or stops.
Er rF
E rF, rF
Refrigerator fan error
The fan that moves cold air in the fresh-food section is blocked or not working, often because of frost buildup.
Er CF
E CF, CF
Condenser fan error
The condenser fan near the compressor at the back bottom of the refrigerator is blocked or not running. Without it, the refrigerator cannot get rid of heat and cooling suffers.
Er dS
E dS, dS
Defrost sensor error
The sensor that tells the refrigerator when the freezer coil has finished defrosting is faulty. Defrosting may not work right and frost can build up.
Er FS
E FS, FS
Freezer temperature sensor error
The sensor that reads the freezer's temperature is giving bad readings, so the refrigerator cannot control freezer temperature properly.
Er gF
E gF, gF
Water flow sensor error
The refrigerator is not detecting normal water flow to the dispenser or ice maker. It often points to low water pressure or a supply problem rather than a broken part.
Er IS
E IS, IS
Ice maker sensor error
The temperature sensor in the ice maker is faulty, so the ice maker may not know when to release ice.
Er rS
E rS, rS
Refrigerator temperature sensor error
The sensor that reads the fresh-food section's temperature is faulty, so fridge temperature control is unreliable.
OFF
OF F, O FF
Demo mode (cooling off)
This is not a fault. The refrigerator is in display (demo) mode, which turns off cooling in both sections while the lights and display keep working.
