How do I clear the error code on my Frigidaire refrigerator?
On the Frigidaire LGHK2336TF8 side-by-side refrigerator, we clear many error codes and alerts by resetting the control panel or power-cycling the refrigerator. If the display keeps flashing or the code returns, the refrigerator is reporting an active problem that needs troubleshooting. Use the LGHK2336TF8 owner's manual for the exact button sequence.
Try these in order:
- Power reset: unplug the refrigerator or turn off the circuit breaker for 5 minutes, then restore power.
- Reset an active alarm: if the display shows a door-ajar or similar alarm, close the door fully and press the alarm reset key shown on your control panel (the manual labels the exact key).
- Clear an ice chute (flapper) alarm: remove any ice jam holding the chute door open, then press the control-panel reset key.
- Restore default settings (if available): some LGHK2336TF8 control panels include a Default settings function that resets user settings.
- Exit special modes: if Sabbath Mode is enabled, turn it off; the dispenser and controls do not operate normally in that mode.
A repeating code or flashing temperature display indicates the electronic control has detected a performance problem. Use the code plus symptoms (warm fridge, no ice, loud fan) to pinpoint the system involved.
| What you notice | What it usually indicates | Common next check |
|---|---|---|
| Code returns after reset | Active fault still present | Look up the code meaning and test the related circuit |
| Flashing temperature display | Control detected a performance issue | Check airflow, fans, sensors, defrost |
| Ice or water issues with alerts | Supply or dispenser problem | Verify filter seating and water supply |
Resetting clears the message, but the underlying issue can still affect cooling, defrost performance, and ice production. Addressing the cause prevents temperature swings and food spoilage.
Use our Frigidaire refrigerator error codes guide to match the code to the most likely system (thermistor, evaporator fan, defrost circuit, user interface).

How do I find the model number on my LGHK2336TF8?
On a Frigidaire side-by-side refrigerator, the model number is printed on the appliance’s rating label. For LGHK2336TF8, check inside the fresh food compartment first; the label is usually on a side wall near the crisper area or near the door opening.
Check these common label locations in order:
- Inside the refrigerator section on the left or right side wall
- Along the door opening frame (fresh food side)
- Near the crisper drawer housing or cover area
- Inside the freezer section side wall (less common)
- On the back exterior panel near the lower area (occasionally)
The rating label typically includes several identifiers. Use the model number for parts lookup.
| Label item | What it’s used for | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Finding correct parts and diagrams | LGHK2336TF8 |
| Serial number | Production run identification | Varies |
| Electrical ratings | Service and safety reference | Volts/amps |
- Write the model number exactly as shown (letters and numbers)
- If there’s a dash or revision code on the label, copy it too
- Use the model number when ordering common maintenance items like the refrigerator water filter and filter cap EPTWFU01
Frigidaire often uses similar-looking cabinets across multiple models. Using the exact LGHK2336TF8 model number ensures the right fit for parts like the ice maker assembly, control board, and door bins.
For diagrams and label-location notes specific to your unit, use the LGHK2336TF8 installation guide.

What is the average lifespan of LGHK2336TF8?
A Frigidaire side-by-side refrigerator like model LGHK2336TF8 typically lasts 13 years with normal use and basic maintenance. Keeping airflow clear, cleaning the condenser area, and replacing filters on schedule helps you reach that lifespan with fewer cooling and ice-maker problems.
Most lifespan differences come down to heat management, door sealing, and water quality.
- Dirty condenser area makes the compressor work harder
- Worn door gaskets cause long run times and temperature swings
- Clogged water and air filters reduce performance and can affect taste and odor
- Frequent door opening and warm room temperatures increase run time
- Ice maker and dispenser use adds wear to moving parts
Use this as a practical baseline; follow the exact intervals in the LGHK2336TF8 owner's manual.
| Item | Typical interval | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Refrigerator water filter | Every 6 months | Refrigerator water filter and filter cap EPTWFU01 |
| Refrigerator air filter | Every 6 months | Refrigerator air filter EAFCBF |
| Condenser area cleaning | Every 6 to 12 months | Vacuum and brush (power off) |
| Temperature check | Monthly | Freezer 0°F, fresh food 37°F |
A side-by-side refrigerator depends on steady airflow and efficient heat removal. When filters clog or the condenser area is dirty, LGHK2336TF8 can run longer, ice production can drop, and internal temperatures can drift, all of which shorten overall service life.
