Just looked it is the 3rd one up from the bottom. Sorry thought it was the middle but there are 7 spots
If the left side freezer LED 3rd one up from the bottom is lit up, then that indicates an error for the freezer defrost sensor. This sensor is located behind the back panel in the rear of the freezer section. With the refrigerator unplugged you can remove the sensor and measure the resistance using an ohm meter. At room temp 71.6F the sensor should read approximately 5621 ohms. If the reading is far off from this then you have a bad sensor. If the coil is the freezer is frosted up, you will need to melt the frost before replacing the sensor. Let us know what you find.
This is the defrost sensor for your model:
Defrost Sensor - Part # PD00002215 (mfg # DA32-10109W)

That is good that it started working again. Since that sensor is pretty cheap, I would probably replace it anyways or at least have it on hand in case it goes bad again.
