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

1. undefined: 1. Use LG SVC App Step 1 or temperature gun to diagnose compressor vs. sealed system issue. 2. undefined: 2. Check voltage at PCB to rule out PCB problem. 3. undefined: 3. Check low/high side pressures and equalization return time. 4. undefined: 4. If equalization time exceeds 15 minutes, sealed system is blocked. 5. undefined: 5. If equalization pressure is below 40 psi, likely a refrigerant leak. 6. undefined: 6. Charge with N2 or R134a to locate leak. 7. undefined: 7. Check low-pressure side parts (evaporator, suction pipe) for leaks first. 8. undefined: 8. If no low-side leak found, check high-pressure side parts (condenser, drier). 9. undefined: 9. Replace leaking parts along with drier. 10. undefined: 10. If compressor is faulty, replace compressor and drier. 11. undefined: 11. Error clears automatically when freezer reaches 14°F. 12. undefined: 12. If system is normal but error persists, press F key + R key 3 times with door open to force-clear.
