Your first move
Turn the circuit breaker(s) off, or unplug the product, for a full one minute. Power the unit back up at the breaker or the outlet. Verify the refrigerator’s cooling is enabled. Check back on the display for one minute and note whether the code shows again.
A code that persists after the reset is the point to schedule service.
