LG Refrigerator Repair ER1F Error | Ice Maker Stopped Working
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 сер 2021
- My ice maker stopped working and my LG refrigerator was showing ER1F one morning which means the ice maker fan is not functioning. Most of the time it means ice build up. In this video I will share how I fixed my LG Refrigerator to repair the ER1F error.

Thank you for posting this. I needed to see this a little more in-depth-to get at the fans (rather than just thawing for a few hours) really appreciate it amigo
Glad it was helpful. I would rather not have to move all my food to thaw things out so the quicker the better.
Brooo!! Big thanks to you!! There was so much ice that was clogged in there. Really helps to get the big chunks out with a blow dryer. Such a hassle, but I’m glad I got the job done.
Nice job!
Thank you! You saved me a repair bill. 👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome!
Thank you kind sir your video saved the day! It is very much appreciated.
Glad to help!
This video just really helped my family out big time. Our freezer fan was frozen solid and after thawing it out with a hair dryer we are back in operation!!! Plus we didn’t have to lose our food in the process.
Thank you so much guys, God Bless
Glad it helped!
Awesome video. I really appreciate it, we jus that this issue happen and I just removed the inside without having to remove any screws, held a blow dryer by the vent in the back for about 3 minutes, wiped it down and closed it for about 10 mins, came back and it was working.
Nice job!
Thank you, your tutorial
was perfect!
Glad it helped!
Thanks so much for sharing this!
Your video helped me have the confidence to dive into this repair, even though your frig isn't exactly the same as mine, the general idea was the same.
I cheated, as once I had the fan panel off, I used a heat gun to melt the ice from the coils. ;-)
A heat gun definitely will get it done!
Very good help Thank you very much
Glad it helped!
Champion 👍
You are my kind of friend!
I LOVE REFRIGERATORS : )
I know but the more they defrost to prevent this problem, the worse your ice cream will taste. :-)
Thanks for posting! I got back from a few days out of town and my LG was growling loudly from time to time, and eventually got this error. I tried hitting it with a blowdryer, then blowing the blowdryer into the vents, then I followed your directions here. Like yours, there was no ice on the inside, and it spun freely. I put it back together and I am still getting the code. The fridge has two icemakers and the one down below in the freezer functions but the one in the door does not. Unplugging the fridge resets it for awhile but the code always comes back.Any ideas of what might be causing the problem? Does the fan need to be replaced? There appears to be two fans in there when I take off the back panel, which is which and which should I look at to replace? Or is it the icemaker in the door that is the issue? I feel like it's either that or being frozen burnt out the fan after awhile since we were gone and didn't hear it. Any advice appreciated!
Hello! When you unplug and defrost the fridge, if when you plug it back in and the error comes on immediately then you have probably have a bad fan, which fan I couldn't tell you. If the error doesn't come on right away but comes on over time, then you may still have ice buildup and I would completely empty out the icemaker and clean it out, then put it back together again.
thanks
You're welcome!
I don't have the same refrig, but I also don't have any ice build up? What do you think I could do?
First check the icemaker switch, maybe it got flipped off. Then check to see if there is a full switch that's triggered, it flipps when the ice tray fills up.
Hello, why did u need to disconnect/ reconnect the circuits? Ty
I only did that to take everything out to inspect for ice
tried your video but was scared to take the freezer compressor clips off. can u help?
Yeah, the hardest part is yanking that large white cover off, if you pry it like I showed in the video you should be fine
Our cover for the back has no screws or no spots to get a screwdriver in any suggestions
It likely just pops out if you pull on it
@@CarolinaCowboys huh ours just doesn’t want to seem to come of. I think we just may moved our stuff to our other fridge for the night and defrost it that way. Our model has the main fan and some other cooler thing on the left side and it’s frozen solid and it won’t make ice.
@@Brobro449 Ya you could try that, maybe leave some towels at the bottom
Would thawing it out for a few hours fix it without removing anything??
Yes it would definitely fix it but then you'd have to put all your food somewhere while you are thawing out the fridge, and then you'd have a puddle of water behind the panel to clean up.
Not really. Thawing it out will just leave the moisture inside. You need to thaw it, and dry the moisture particularly around the fans (plural). The one in the center of the panel isn't the one that causes me all the problems, it's the smaller fan at the side. That needs to thaw and dry.
Is this a temporary fix. Mine comes back on after a couple of days once fixed and sometimes within a couple of hours
You might want to check if your doors aren't sealing properly because either moisture getting and freezing is causing the problem, or your ice machine is leaking.
So just unplugging the fan resets it?
That's right
Did you have any problems after knocking off the ice and plugging it back in?
I changed the fan motor, but still showing the error code.
Just wondering if you had any other problems
No I haven't had any issues and I've done this every few years. Did you get an OEM replacement fan?
Have you tried turning it off and on again? That works too.lol
That just resets the sensor and then since there is still ice on the sensor it will just error out again.
You lovin' the LG crap yet? "This one's short: lovin' the LG crap yet?
It hasn't been terrible, maybe just average at best
Hello, why did you need to disconnect and reconnect each circuit on the fan part? Thank you
I only did that to take everything out to inspect for ice
oh noooo!!! not the grease getting on your hands!!! lmfao get a grip
Yes I know my videos are both educational and comedic!
