What SS means

LG refrigerators with an LED or LCD temperature display show SS for a sensor problem in a part of the cabinet that has its own temperature control. Depending on the model, the code refers to a shortened or open pantry sensor, or to a problem detecting the temperature of the water tank. Either way the control cannot read that spot properly, so the pantry drawer or the water may not be held at the temperature you chose.

Common causes of SS

Whether your model has a pantry drawer or a water tank on this sensor
The sensor plug and wiring
The sensor reading itself
The main board input for that sensor

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Check whether your refrigerator has a temperature-controlled pantry drawer or an internal water tank. 2. If it has a tank, make sure it is seated correctly in its place. 3. Keep the doors closed and watch the food or water temperature. 4. Call us to schedule a visit, since there are no owner repair steps for SS.

! Why to stop there

The code names two possible sensors, so we confirm which one your model uses before any part is chosen.
A loose plug or damaged wire can produce the same code as a bad sensor, and we test the circuit first.
The price is given in writing before work begins, and the repair has a 30-day workmanship warranty.

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.

SSSS questions

Is SS about the pantry or the water tank?

It depends on the model. It can mean a shortened or open pantry sensor, or a problem detecting the water tank temperature. We check which applies to yours.

Will the rest of the refrigerator keep cooling?

Usually the main compartments keep running. The controlled area tied to the sensor may not hold its set temperature, so watch what is stored there.

Is SS the same as tt?

No. tt is about the water tank being missing or poorly inserted, so it is often an owner fix. SS is a temperature sensor reading problem, and that needs testing on site.
