An error message indicating a 'Rear fan error' is displayed. This suggests a problem with the Refrigerator's cooling fan, typically located at the back of the appliance.
Click steps to track your progress.
Unplug the Refrigerator from the power outlet for 15-30 minutes to allow the system to reset.
Plug the Refrigerator back in and observe if the error clears and listen for the fan to run.
If comfortable and after unplugging, inspect the rear of the Refrigerator for any obvious obstructions to the fan, such as debris or dust.
If the error persists and the fan is not running, professional service may be required to replace the fan motor or diagnose wiring.
