How do I fix error code E dS on a LG refrigerators?

1. undefined: Check for loose connection at CON6 on main PCB 2. undefined: Unplug connector from CON6 3. undefined: Check resistance between Brown to Brown wires 4. undefined: Also check Orange to Orange wires 5. undefined: If 0 Ohm (short circuit): replace the defrost sensor 6. undefined: If open circuit (infinite resistance): replace the refrigerator 7. undefined: If reading is in normal range, check temperature: at 23F/-5C expect 38.5-36.5 kOhm; at 32F/0C expect 30.5-29.5 kOhm; at 41F/5C expect 24.5-23.5 kOhm; at 50F/10C expect 20-19 kOhm; at 59F/15C expect 16-15.5 kOhm

Error Code E dS

Q: What does error code E dS mean on a LG refrigerators?

Defrost Sensor Error Short circuit on defrost sensor wiring; Open/disconnected defrost sensor wiring; Loose connection at CON6 on main PCB

Defrost Sensor Error

Moderate

Address soon - your appliance may not work properly

What This Means

Short circuit on defrost sensor wiring; Open/disconnected defrost sensor wiring; Loose connection at CON6 on main PCB

How to Fix

1
Check for loose connection at CON6 on main PCB
2
Unplug connector from CON6
3
Check resistance between Brown to Brown wires
4
Also check Orange to Orange wires
5
If 0 Ohm (short circuit): replace the defrost sensor
6
If open circuit (infinite resistance): replace the refrigerator
7
If reading is in normal range, check temperature: at 23F/-5C expect 38.5-36.5 kOhm; at 32F/0C expect 30.5-29.5 kOhm; at 41F/5C expect 24.5-23.5 kOhm; at 50F/10C expect 20-19 kOhm; at 59F/15C expect 16-15.5 kOhm
