How to Fix F6 / F7 Error Codes

If your refrigerator or fridge freezer is displaying error code F6 or F7, follow these troubleshooting steps to identify and resolve the problem:

1. Check Power Supply

• Ensure the appliance is properly connected to the power supply.
• Verify that there has been no recent power outage or interruption.

2. Avoid Leaving the Door Open

• Prolonged door opening can raise the internal temperature and trigger error codes.
• Minimize how long the door stays open during use.

3. Make Sure the Door Is Fully Closed

• Check that nothing is blocking the door from sealing properly.
• Inspect the door gasket for damage or dirt that may prevent a tight seal.

4. Verify Cooling Performance

• Place a thermometer in a glass of water inside the fridge and leave it for several hours.
• The correct temperature should be between +4°C and +5°C.

Important notes:

• Food temperature is more critical than air temperature, as air fluctuates during cooling cycles.
• Lower-cost thermometers may have a margin of error of ±1–2°C.
• If needed, adjust the temperature using:
  • The temperature control dial, or
  • The digital control panel

5. Allow Time for Temperature Stabilization

• If the issue was caused by a temporary rise in temperature, the error code should clear automatically once normal conditions are restored.
• This may take a few hours.
