What Does the rF (Refrigerator Fan) Error Mean❓

The rF error means that the refrigerator fan is not running properly. This fan moves cold air from the freezer into the fridge section. If it stops working, the fridge may get warm while the freezer stays cold. This can be caused by a stuck fan, motor failure, or sensor issues.

    2. You should hear the fan spin up after a few seconds.

  • Check for Ice Build-up

    1. Remove shelves and inspect the back panel of the fridge.
