Note the exact code

LG Refrigerator Er IF / Er FF FAQs

Er FF is a freezer fan error. Without that fan, the freezer can warm up and the compressor works harder.
Yes. Ice around the fan blade can stop it from spinning, often because of a defrost problem. A technician checks both the fan and the defrost system.
