LG Refrigerator Er gF code: 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.

Most common causes

  1. Water supply valve closed
  2. Kinked water line behind the refrigerator
  3. Clogged or old water filter
  4. Low household water pressure or a frozen line
  5. Faulty flow sensor

What you can safely check yourself

  1. Make sure the water supply valve to the refrigerator is open
  2. Check the water line behind the unit for kinks
  3. Replace the water filter if it is overdue
  4. Unplug the refrigerator for a few minutes and plug it back in

Unplug the appliance before moving or cleaning anything. Do not open panels, touch gas connections or bypass safety switches.
