DCS Refrigerator Error Code IF
The IF error code will display on the refrigerator’s control panel. You may also notice that the ice maker is not producing any more ice.
Possible Causes of the IF Error Code
The most likely cause of the IF error code is that the ice bin is simply full. This is a common occurrence, especially if you use the ice maker frequently.
Other possible causes of the IF error code include:

- Check the ice bin. Make sure that the ice bin is not full. If it is full, empty it and reset the refrigerator.
