LG Refrigerator Error Code 1F — Ice Maker Blower Fan Error (Craft Ice)
What this means
The 1F error code appears on LG refrigerators equipped with the Craft Ice feature and indicates the Craft Ice blower fan is malfunctioning. This fan helps produce the round ice spheres by controlling the freezing process. If the fan fails, Craft Ice production will stop while regular ice production may still work.
Step-by-step fix
3 stepsReset the ice maker
Press and hold the Craft Ice test button for 3 seconds to initiate a test cycle. Wait for the cycle to complete (about 10–15 minutes). If the error clears, the fan may have been temporarily stuck.
Check for ice buildup around the fan
Open the freezer and locate the Craft Ice maker area. Look for frost or ice that may be blocking the blower fan. Carefully remove any ice buildup.
Inspect the fan motor
If clearing ice doesn't help, the blower fan motor may be faulty. Unplug the refrigerator and check the fan motor's wire connector for secure connection. Listen for the fan running during normal operation.
When to call a professional
If the Craft Ice blower fan needs replacement, a technician familiar with LG Craft Ice systems can handle the repair. The Craft Ice mechanism is a specialized component.
