⚠️ Safety Warning: Appliance repair involves electricity, gas, and moving parts. Always disconnect power before working on any appliance.
Error Code: ER CE Difficulty: Hard
Problem: Communication error.
How to Fix ER CE Error (Step-by-Step)
- Begin by performing a system reset. Unplug the refrigerator from its power outlet and wait for 10 minutes to allow the internal electronics to discharge.
- Plug the refrigerator back in. Wait a few minutes to see if the control boards re-establish communication and the error clears on its own.
- If the error returns, unplug the unit again. Carefully inspect the wiring that runs to the user interface display, especially around the top door hinge area, for any pinched or broken wires.
- Locate the main control board on the back of the refrigerator behind an access panel. Remove the panel.
- Check all wire harness connections to the main board (Part No. 5304499075 or 5304527931), ensuring they are all plugged in securely.
- If connections are secure and the error remains, it indicates a failure of the main board or the display board (Part No. 5304498781), which will require replacement.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
