Understanding Hidden Error Codes
Sometimes, your LG refrigerator might encounter issues that don’t immediately display as error codes. These “hidden” codes can provide valuable insights into the problem. By following the steps outlined below, you can easily access and interpret these codes.
How to Find Hidden Error Codes on Your LG Refrigerator
- Hold the Freezer and Ice Plus buttons: Simultaneously press and hold these buttons for 1-2 seconds.
- Check for error codes: If hidden codes exist, they will appear on the display.
- No hidden codes: If the display shows “88 88,” there are no hidden codes.
Key Points to Remember:
- Error code format: Error codes always begin with “E” or “Er.”
- Compensation mode: Be cautious of models with compensation mode. Holding the buttons for too long (5 seconds or more) might trigger this mode, displaying letters like “S S,” “F S,” or “r S.” These are not error codes.
- Model-specific variations: Some LG refrigerator models have unique methods for accessing hidden error codes.
