Error 22 E — Water leakage and Refrigerator too warm

What does 22 E mean?

Water is leaking into and under the crisper drawer, and the Refrigerator compartment is not maintaining the set temperature. The self-diagnosis yielded error code '22 E'.

• Ice buildup at the defrost drain (common cause for leakage)
• Clogged defrost drain line preventing water runoff
• Faulty Refrigerator fan leading to poor air circulation and cooling
• Thermistor issue causing inaccurate temperature readings

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Unplug the Refrigerator and remove all shelves and the back panel to inspect the drain for ice buildup.

2. 2

   Completely defrost any ice found at the drain or on the evaporator coils.

3. 3

   Ensure the Refrigerator drain line is clear and not clogged; flush with warm water if necessary (with unit unplugged).

4. 4

   Verify the Refrigerator fan is operating correctly; listen for it or gently spin it if safe to do so with power off.

5. 5

   If the '22 E' code or cooling issue persists after ensuring clear drainage and fan operation, professional service for sensor or control board diagnosis is advised.
