What AS, L AS, r AS means

AS, L AS, and r AS can appear on LG refrigerators with an LED or LCD temperature display that have auto-open doors. They report that the auto door motor is running while the reed switch is open. The L and r versions point to the left and right door. You may see the code while the door is moving or does not stay closed, and the powered opening may stop working.

Common causes of AS, L AS, r AS

  • Reed switch that reports whether the door is closed
  • Door motor and its wiring
  • Magnet position near the switch
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Look for anything near the door edge that stops it from closing, such as a loose item or a bag. 2. Close the door by hand so it sits firmly against the gasket. 3. Wipe the door edge and the area where the door meets the cabinet. 4. Note whether the left or right door shows the code. 5. If it persists, request service.

! Why to stop there
  • The display tells us the motor and switch disagree, but not which one is wrong.
  • We check the switch and motor together and quote the repair in writing first.
  • There are no owner steps listed for this code.
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

AS, L AS, r ASAS, L AS, r AS questions
What does the L or r mean?

The letter marks the left or right door. Telling us which door shows the code helps us look at the right switch and motor first.

Why would the motor run with the door open?

The control expects the switch to show a closed door while the motor works. If the switch stays open, the two disagree and the code appears.

Is it safe to keep using the fridge?

The refrigerator can usually still cool, but make sure the doors close and seal. If a door will not stay shut, move food to a cooler and call us.
