  • Cause: none stated in the manual.

The reset, step by step

Remove power from the refrigerator for a full minute (breaker(s) off or plug out), then restore it. After that, make sure cooling is switched on and watch the display for another minute; the goal is that F3E9 stays gone. Reset didn’t help? The manual tells you to schedule service.
