Error codeEr CF

Er CF in brief
Fits: Kenmore and Kenmore Elite 795 bottom-freezer refrigerators
Meaning: a defective condenser fan motor
Suspects: the motor, its wiring, the control board
Parts and who handles them
The manual pairs this code with a condenser fan motor, a power control board and a wiring harness. It writes no steps for the owner, which makes this a technician job. Pull the plug before anyone gets near the fan or the wiring.
Er CF is a technician job, so look at Kenmore refrigerator repair and call (415) 825-6393 from the Bay Area. Have the code and the 795 model number ready to read out.
Model compatibility: Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so Er CF may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
