    Try placing a strong magnet on the control box, see if it will reset

    It may take a couple days for water to all evaporate and control box to completely dry out

    Our brand new 300GK threw out that error code one the second day of our return from purchase trip. I called dealers and was told to get A STRONG magnet. Like a rare earth magnet about 1" diameter. Turn on fridge, see the error code, go putrid and place the magnet on the switch with the red light showing, on top just right of center , then wait. ... Maybe 1 minute.... the light will go out, fridge will reset and start working. .

    It worked for me.

    I kept the magnet in the fridge back.

    I don't post much here but I read comments daily. Thank you everyone who take the time to share your solutions. I had this code today after a storm with driving rains. I came here and did a search. The magnet worked for us. I was very happy and lots of food was saved!!!

    Washed the new to me 350M two days ago...all worked fine. Then a night of heavy storms and again this morning, all of a sudden the oPL1 code started with the fridge beeping. Tried the magnet trick....and all is good!! Thanks to those who take the time to post solutions for issues such as this, as it not only save the time of taking into a dealer for repairs, but the over all frustration and money involved.

    Now I simply placed the magnet into my GD Black bag of manuals for future resets.

    I would guess neodymium magnets would do, I can barely get them off the metal they're so strong.
