Product Help lists F3E2 for bottom-freezer refrigerators, shown by a blinking F. The listing contains reset instructions and does not name a fault.

Resetting for F3E2

  1. Take the refrigerator off power for one minute at the breaker(s) or the plug.
  2. Restore the power.
  3. Check that the cooling function is on.
  4. Keep an eye on the display for one minute and see whether F3E2 appears.
