Reading the refrigerator display

On a refrigerator the code shows on the control panel or dispenser display. Some models flash a letter or alternate two characters; hold the code in view and note both. LG codes are short letter pairs; a capital O differs from a zero.

LG appliances show short alphabetic codes (OE, IE, UE on washers, Er plus letters on refrigerators) and, on ThinQ models, a Smart Diagnosis option. LG also builds many Kenmore Elite units. The codes apply to model numbers such as LDF7774ST, LDT5678SS and DLEX3900B; check the label on your unit to confirm yours.

What causes Er IF

How to fix it

  1. Unplug the refrigerator for 60 seconds, then plug it straight into a wall outlet (no power strip) and give it up to 5 minutes to restart.
  2. Remove ice from the bin and inspect the ice maker area.
  3. Defrost the freezer if frost is visible.
  4. Wait 24 hours and check ice production.
  5. Request service if the code persists.
