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.
