3EWarning

Samsung Refrigerator 3E Error Code

The refrigerator compartment temperature sensor is reading out of range.

Common causes

  • Faulty sensor
  • Wiring harness damage
  • Connector corrosion

How to fix it

  1. Locate the sensor (usually near the evaporator in the fridge section) and measure resistance.
  2. Replace sensor if resistance is not within spec (typically 2-10k ohms depending on temp).
  3. Check for loose connection at the main board.
⚠ When to call a pro: If sensor replacement does not resolve, the control board may need service.
