Troubleshooting the FS Error Code

If you see the FS error code on your DCS refrigerator, you can try the following troubleshooting steps:

  1. Check the water filter. The water filter should be replaced every six months or sooner if the water quality is poor. To check the water filter, remove it from the refrigerator and inspect it for any signs of clogging or wear. If the filter is clogged or worn, replace it with a new one.
  2. Check the water filter housing. The water filter housing should be clean and free of any debris. If the housing is dirty, clean it with warm, soapy water.
  3. Check the water inlet valve. The water inlet valve is the component that supplies water to the water filter. If the water inlet valve is not working properly, it may need to be replaced.

Replacing the Water Filter

To replace the water filter, follow these steps:

  1. Unplug the refrigerator.
  2. Locate the water filter. The water filter is usually located in the refrigerator door or in the back of the refrigerator.
  3. Turn the water filter counterclockwise to remove it.
  4. Discard the old water filter.
  5. Align the new water filter with the water filter housing.
  6. Turn the water filter clockwise to secure it.
  7. Plug the refrigerator back in.

The FS error code is a relatively easy fix. By following the troubleshooting steps above, you can often identify and resolve the issue yourself.
