What the owner can do
The manual gives the owner no steps. Pull the plug, then ask a technician to examine the sensor, the connector and the board.
For Er FS in the Bay Area, see Kenmore refrigerator repair or call (415) 825-6393. Have the code and model number ready so the freezer sensor circuit can be the starting point.
Model compatibility: Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so Er FS may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
