# LG-built Kenmore refrigerator error code Er FF

### Whose code this actually is

Kenmore did not write Er FF, because Kenmore has never built an appliance. This one is LG’s, and it appears on the refrigerator that LG built and Sears sold under the Kenmore badge. Four different manufacturers built refrigerators under this badge, and several of them use an F with a number for unrelated conditions. That is the single most convincing way to reach the wrong component.

### What it means

A freezer fan problem. On these cabinets the cold is moved by a fan rather than falling where it is needed, so a fan that has stopped presents as a fridge that is warming while the compressor runs.

### Which Kenmore models can raise it

The Kenmore refrigerator whose model number begins 795 — the three digits before the period on the rating plate. Those digits are LG’s, which is why LG’s table is the one that applies to Er FF and no other manufacturer’s does.

### The other ways it may be written

The same condition is published under more than one label, because it has been carried across generations of the appliance and because a segment display draws some characters oddly: **E FF**. They are the same finding and they lead to the same place.

### What happens next

- Listen at the freezer with the door switch held in — a healthy fan is audible.
- Ice around the fan blade after a defrost problem will stop it, and clearing the ice without fixing the defrost only postpones it.
- It is a common and repairable problem on this platform.

### Where this usually goes

The job this most often becomes is [refrigerator not cooling repair](/services/refrigerator-not-cooling-repair/), and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. A Kenmore refrigerator in this humidity hands its defrost circuit more work than it was sized for, and in a Miami kitchen a floor-level condenser blocks well ahead of any published interval. Photograph the display before you cut the power: a reset clears Er FF, and on a Kenmore the characters plus three digits off the plate are most of the diagnosis.

### Where this meaning came from

LG’s own documentation: *LG Help Library — error code lists*. Kenmore publishes none of its own, which is why every entry on this site names the manufacturer’s document instead.
