Error Code: ER CE Difficulty: Hard
Problem: Communication error.
How to Fix ER CE Error (Step-by-Step)
- Perform a hard reset by unplugging the refrigerator from the power outlet for at least 5 minutes. This can sometimes resolve temporary communication glitches.
- If the error persists, unplug the refrigerator again and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Carefully inspect the wiring connections between the main control board and the user interface display. Look for any loose or disconnected plugs, particularly where wires run through the door hinge.
- If all wiring appears secure, the User Interface Control Board (part 5304502752) likely needs to be replaced.
- Disconnect the wire harnesses from the old board, remove it, and install the new board in its place.
- Reconnect all wiring, restore power to the refrigerator, and check if the communication error is resolved.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
