# LG-built Kenmore refrigerator error code Er rF

### Whose code this actually is

Kenmore did not write Er rF, 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 refrigerator fan problem — the same class of finding as Er FF but on the fresh food side.

### 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 rF and no other manufacturer’s does.

### What happens next

- Same check: is the fan audible.
- A cabinet that cools unevenly, top to bottom, before any code appears is often on its way here.

### 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 rF, 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.
