What Er gF (795 / LG-built) Means
Er gF on a 795-prefix LG-built Kenmore refrigerator reports the flow meter — the part that counts water entering the dispenser and ice maker. The published causes are water pressure and water flow rather than the meter alone, which makes the household supply the first thing to look at.
Common Causes of Er gF (795 / LG-built)
- A water filter past its service life restricting flow
- A supply valve only part open or a kinked supply line
- A failed flow meter
🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try
Check the water shut-off valve feeding the refrigerator is fully open, and replace the water filter if it has been in place longer than the manufacturer recommends; a clogged filter chokes flow enough to trigger this.
⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That
- Shut the water supply off before the line at the back of the appliance is disturbed, or the pipe empties across the floor.
- A flow meter fitted while a clogged filter is the real restriction counts exactly the same shortfall.
- A supply line kinked behind a pushed-back refrigerator is a very common and completely free thing to correct.
Opening a panel to inspect or repair something yourself doesn't automatically cancel your manufacturer's warranty — but it can risk accidental damage, and some manufacturers do have specific service conditions. Check your product's warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
