What this code means

The refrigerator is not receiving a valid signal from the water-tank temperature sensor on applicable ice-and-water dispenser models.

Most likely causes

  • A failed water-tank temperature sensor
  • A loose or damaged sensor connector
  • A broken harness
  • A dispenser-control input fault

Safe checks for the owner

  1. Confirm the water dispenser is not freezing or delivering unusually warm water.
  2. Power the refrigerator off for five minutes and retry once.
  3. Do not remove the water tank or internal wiring while the unit is powered.

Estimated U.S. repair cost

$220–$500, depending on model, access, parts availability and local labor.
