Error code 1F indicates an abnormality of the BLDC fan motor for ice making, caused by a poor BLDC motor connection, DriveIC, and TR. This information can be found in the service manual on pg. 32 of the service manual: http://136.166.4.200/contents/Fridge/LFX25960/LFX25960_Service_Manual.pdf
From the research I've done it sounds like it is usually a bad fan motor that causes this condition. This will prevent the icemaker from working. I'm not sure if it will affect the defrost cycle. If you turn off the icemaker, then either pull the plug for a few seconds or turn off the circuit breaker for a few seconds, the front panel will light up and stay lit. Then you need to call for service.

PS: I'm finding out that this refrigerator is more problems than it's worth. First it was the drawer glides breaking, then a balky ice maker, now the fan motor. From what I found out on the internet, I'm not the only one with these problems. I've only bought two LG products, the refrigerator and a small LCD HDTV, but I'm not happy with either one of them. In my opinion LG is an inferior product.

Hope this helps someone.

    I have had a counter depth French door 3 door refrigerator. It is a pain in the neck! Hard to disassemble for cleaning, crisper drawers hard to use and break easily. We have replaced the evaporator motor, ice room fan,freezer fan and entire tower of operative parts. We have lost freezer food twice in a little over two years. We are now awaiting a new freezer fan assembly and another crisper drawer. I would stay away from LG! We have had 4 major service calls in the same number of years! We have always had Whirlpool and in 2 refrigerators over 30 years NEVER A SERVICE CALL NEEDED! LG is the old bottom of the line GOLD STAR with a new name. Same old bad quality though. I wish there was a lemon law for fridges.

I'm getting the error code 1F and it keeps coming back. The water line to the icemaker is disconnected and has been. How can i keep it from coming back?

The error code 1F on an LG refrigerator indicates a problem with the ice maker fan. The most common cause of this error code is frost or ice buildup around the fan. If you have disconnected the water line to the ice maker, then the most likely cause of the error code is frost or ice buildup. To fix the error code 1F, you will need to defrost the ice maker fan. This can be done by following these steps: Unplug the refrigerator or turn off the circuit breaker that powers the refrigerator. Remove all food and drawers from the freezer compartment. Open the freezer door and allow the ice to melt. Once the ice has melted, use a hair dryer or heat gun to melt any remaining frost or ice around the ice maker fan. Wipe away any moisture with a clean cloth. Reassemble the freezer compartment and plug in the refrigerator or turn on the circuit breaker. If the error code 1F persists after defrosting the ice maker fan, then there may be a problem with the ice maker fan motor or the control board. In this case, it is best to contact a qualified technician for assistance. Here are some tips to prevent the error code 1F from coming back: Keep the freezer door closed as much as possible to minimize air circulation. Defrost the refrigerator regularly, even if the ice maker is not in use. Clean the ice maker coils regularly to prevent frost buildup. If you live in an area with hard water, consider using a water softener to reduce the amount of minerals in the water that can contribute to frost buildup. By following these tips, you can help to prevent the error code 1F from coming back and keep your refrigerator ice maker working properly.

No water or ice from lg lfx23961sw trouble code on display er 1f

Find the technical data information. It is a document somewhere in the refrigerator. It could be under the front, which, means removing the kick panel, or in the back behind the rear panel. Once you locate the tech sheet it might enlighten you are to what the error codes are. With this information you can make an informed decision as to how to proceed with your next actions.

Error code 1F

ER IF means the icemaker fan is malfunctioning. Common cause is ice buildup in the fan shroud. LG has recently upgraded that shroud to drain off moisture that collects in there. The icemaker fan, when looking in the freezer, is the one on the left.

Very common for the icemaker itself to fail during the first year, have replaced many. They have since changed the design of it and it seems to have solved the problem.
