Kenmore Refrigerator Er gF Error Code

Water flow meter error on Kenmore refrigerators.

KenmoreAll Kenmore refrigerator codes

Er gF
Easy DIY fix

The flow meter that measures water heading to the dispenser and ice maker isn't reporting what the control expects. Sears PartsDirect's checks are water pressure and flow, so a half-closed supply valve, a kinked line or a clogged filter come first, and a failed flow meter after that.

Sears PartsDirect lists it for Kenmore and Kenmore Elite bottom-freezer refrigerators whose model numbers start with 795.

Safety first: unplug the refrigerator (or switch off its breaker) before touching filters, hoses or panels. If you smell burning or gas, or see water near the outlet, stop and call a professional.

How to fix Kenmore Er gF

  1. Turn the water shutoff all the way on

    Find the shutoff feeding the refrigerator (under the sink, in the basement or behind the fridge) and turn it all the way open.

  2. Straighten the water line

    Ease the fridge out from the wall and check the line behind it for kinks or a crushed section, especially where it coils up behind the cabinet.

  3. Change an old water filter

    An overdue filter can choke the flow. Fit a new one, then run the water dispenser for a few minutes to push the air out of the line.

When to call a technician

Good pressure, a fresh filter and the code still there: the flow meter itself is the likely part, and a technician can confirm it before you buy one.
