My Hitachi fridge is built in, it was here when we bought the condo, it’s single door, has a ice maker and water dispenser on front, I put a light bulb in the freezer compartment on top, it works fine, it has led lighting in the fridge compartment but doesn’t work.

My 5 door Hitachi refrigerator shows (FO 17) error, what should i do ?
Ismail,
You may have a dirty or malfunctioning ice maker.
We would suggest to unplug fridge, remove ice maker and clean it, check mechanical, electrical issues, be sure it moves freely, no blockage, reinstall, plug fridge back in, and see if cleaning and or fixing it worked.
If not you may have a bad electrical connection somewhere or the ice maker is faulty.

No ice is being dropped into the ice tray, it is only when I press the ice tray cleaning function that the ice is dropped into the ice tray, but then a gray plastic part comes out and stays out and the ice cube making tray goes back to its normal place, water is poured into it, the gray part stays out, after that the ice is made but it does not drop into the ice tray.
Christian,
The “F” in the error code means there is an error with the freezer.
Check the freezer fan, check for ice build up, check to be sure the temp settings are correct.
