    Cheryl,
    Here is the manual for your LG Refrigerator LXFC24726S.
    You may need to scroll down to the PDF Manual and click it. Once you have the PDF file open, scroll down the manual to the troubleshooting section.
    There you will find a few things LG recommends to try but the info is limited.

    The LG refrigerator Ef rF error code on the refrigerator’s display indicates an abnormality in the Refrigerator fan motor or possibly a bad main board.

    The fan is the most likely issue as most people that have the ef rf code change out the fan motor and it fixes the LG refrigerator.

    LG Refrigerator fans can be found here.
    LG Refrigerator Main Control Board can be found here.

  2. My LG LXFC24726S is having the same issue as Penny, displaying the E rF code. It was making a noise that sounded like a fan hitting its housing and when I turned off the ice maker it stopped.
    I am comfortable repairing about anything but is there a schematic somewhere of this refrigerator and where the fan is that you are referring to?
    And where can I buy the part?
    I will NEVER buy an LG again.
    My former fridge (GE Profile) lasted 24 years, this one is one month out of warranty and already broken.
    Thanks so much for your help!

    Mike springer,
    Is the error you see on your LG Bottom Freezer showing an “E” or “Er”.
    LG does not list only “E” error code in the database.
    Have you tried resetting the refrigerator by pressing and holding the buttons on the display?
    Is the LG fridge brand new?
    -RR

  4. I have a LG bottom freezer model number lfx25975st /02. On the display panel an E comes on the screen. If I unplug it for 30 seconds and plug it back in the display lights up like it should but a minute later it goes back to a display showing just E. In the meantime, no water or ice. What is the problem?

  5. Now that I have read the issues that people have with their LG I will never buy one again – 3 years is all I have had my LG – my control panel lights don’t work and now this error message that I can not read because half of the lights on the digital display do not light – I know it is an E but can not make out what the other is so do not not if it is the “if” scenario or a number – 3 years is not long enough for a refrigerator to last.

  6. I have the same model refrig . French door and so -on , I also had the ” I-F” code , I looked in the you tube vids , { the videos gave a little help } but what I did , was , { in your case , if you are not able to move the unit away from wall } I moved my refrigerator away from wall , took the lower back panel off { it is held on with , 6 Philips head screws , the ice maker inlet tube runs through the corner of the same panel , so take care not to get it pinched as you slide the back panel away from its place on the unit , } when I had the panel off , I had a big bunch of dust around the coils of the cooling coils , mine were the color brown it was so covered , I took vacuum , with flex hose , and a soft bristle brush too remove the dust . { the actual color of the coils are black , uhhhh ! } I do clean out from under the whole unit , floor area , so I was astonished as to how much more actual dust made its way too the coils area … but to the point , I unplugged the refrig , cleaned the coils , reassembled back panel , pluged unit back in , { took about 20 too 30 minutes } I did not get a I-F code right off , it did the next day , I unplugged the refrig , plugged back in , and since no problems .. makes ice , and no codes this is day 5 since I cleaned the coils still doing good … hope this helps { if you haven`t already paid to have the fan replaced …}

    Penny,
    The rF error code on your LG refrigerator’s display means an abnormal refrigerator fan motor.
    Check to be sure the fan is properly connected and getting power.
    If so and it still does not work and the error code comes back, then yes, replace the fan motor.
