The listing is for bottom-freezer refrigerators, with no specific generation named.

Resetting the refrigerator

Turn the circuit breaker(s) off, or unplug the product, for a full one minute. Re-energize the unit with the breaker or by plugging it in. Confirm that the cooling function is active. Stay with the refrigerator for one minute and see if F8EC returns.
