How to Fix

1
Use LG SVC App Step 1 to determine if problem is compressor, sealed system, or customer emotional fault.
2
Check PCB output voltages to rule out PCB fault.
3
Measure high and low side pressures and check equalization return time: if more than 15 minutes, system is blocked.
4
Inspect low-pressure side: evaporator, suction pipe for leaks (look for oil residue).
5
If no low-side leak found, inspect high-pressure side: condenser, drier.
6
Perform leak test with refrigerant or nitrogen.
7
Repair leak, replace drier, recharge refrigerant.
8
After repair, error clears automatically when freezer reaches 14°F or below.
9
Force-clear error: with door open, press F key + R key 3 times if temperature is normal but error persists.
