This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Failed condenser fan motor, Obstruction by debris, Loose or burnt wiring, Faulty PCB output

Safety: Unplug the freezer before removing the rear access panel.

Er CF indicates the condenser fan is not operating correctly.

Access and clean: Remove rear panel, vacuum condenser coil and fan area.
Spin test: Manually spin the fan; replace if stiff or noisy.
Check wiring: Inspect harness and reseat connectors.
Test operation: Restore power briefly to see if fan runs with compressor. Replace fan if voltage is present but fan does not run.

If Er CF remains with a good fan, the main PCB likely needs professional diagnosis.
