Can I fix LG code FF myself?

Start with these safe checks: Unplug the refrigerator for about 5 minutes and plug it back in. If the code returns, move your food to a cooler, unplug the fridge and leave the doors open so ice around the fan can melt, then restore power. If the code returns after defrosting, request service.

When should I call a technician for code FF?

If the code returns after defrosting, request service. Don't open the sealed refrigerant system, cut or braze lines, or add refrigerant. That needs an EPA-certified technician. Turn power off at the breaker or disconnect before opening any panel, and leave capacitors, compressors and control boards to a pro: they can hold a dangerous charge even with the power off.
