What Does the SS (Pantry Sensor) Error Mean❓

The SS error indicates a malfunction with the pantry sensor inside the refrigerator. This sensor is responsible for monitoring the temperature and environmental conditions in the pantry or fresh food compartment to ensure optimal freshness. When the pantry sensor sends incorrect data or fails entirely, the refrigerator may struggle to maintain proper temperatures in this section, potentially causing food spoilage or uneven cooling. Prompt diagnosis and repair of this sensor issue help maintain appliance performance and food quality.
