Error Code 22E
Fridge fan motor stopped or feedback signal lost
Critical
Stop using immediately - risk of damage or safety issue
Also displayed as: 22E
What This Means
Defective BLDC fan motor; Fan motor wire disconnected; No pulse signal feedback to MICOM
What actually causes this:
The fan circulating cold air through the fresh food section has failed or its wiring has come loose.
First Thing to Check
Check that the door switches are fully releasing when the fridge door is open — a stuck door switch prevents the fan from running.
