What Er gF (795 / LG-built) means

On Kenmore 795. refrigerators, built by LG, Er gF is a flow meter error. The flow meter measures how much water passes to the dispenser and ice maker, and the code means it is not seeing the flow it expects, because of water pressure, water flow, or the meter itself. You may notice a slow or empty water dispenser, small or missing ice, or a dispenser that stops partway through filling a glass.

Common causes of Er gF (795 / LG-built)

Water supply valve not fully open
Kinked or frozen supply line
Water filter restricting flow
Flow meter or its wiring

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Confirm the water supply valve behind or beside the refrigerator is fully open. 2. Check the supply line for kinks, without moving the refrigerator far. 3. Replace the water filter if it is overdue. 4. Dispense a few glasses of water to clear air. 5. If Er gF returns, call us.

Er gF (795 / LG-built)Er gF (795 / LG-built) questions

Is this a leak?

The code is about flow measurement rather than a leak. Still, if you see water on the floor, close the supply valve and call us right away.

Could a filter cause Er gF?

Yes, a clogged filter reduces flow and can set the code. Replacing a filter that is overdue is a safe first step, and the dispenser should be run for a few glasses afterward.

What if the filter and supply are fine?

Then we test the flow meter and its wiring, since the meter itself may be reading wrong. You get a written price before any work, and our workmanship carries a 30-day warranty.
