Daewoo Refrigerator Error Code Eg

The Eg code indicates a water supply error in the ice maker system. After each water fill cycle, the refrigerator uses its I-Sensor to confirm that water arrived by detecting a temperature rise. If that rise does not occur as expected, the Eg code is logged. The ice maker will pause production after three consecutive occurrences and will resume automatically if normal conditions return.

Yes, the Eg error is specific to the ice maker water supply and does not affect the refrigerator or freezer cooling functions. Your food remains safe while this code is active. However, ice production will be paused after three consecutive errors, so you will not have ice until the underlying issue is corrected.

Repair costs vary depending on the cause. A replacement water inlet valve typically ranges from $20 to $75 for the part alone, while a new I-Sensor or ice maker module can cost anywhere from $30 to $150 or more. Adding professional labor, total repair costs generally fall between $80 and $300 depending on the component involved and your location.

Start by checking the water supply line for kinks, freezing, or blockages, and confirm that the household water supply valve is fully open. Next, inspect the water inlet valve for clogs or solenoid failure and verify that household water pressure is adequate. If the water supply appears normal, the I-Sensor may need to be tested or replaced. Since the error clears automatically when normal water delivery resumes, resolving the supply issue is often all that is needed.

A manual reset may temporarily clear the displayed code, but the error will return if the root cause is not addressed. The control system is designed to cancel the error automatically once normal water supply and sensor response are restored. Resetting without fixing the water supply issue will not result in a lasting resolution.
