Safety: Disconnect power before accessing internal components.

This code indicates the fresh food evaporator fan is not operating.

Check for frost buildup: Remove the shelves and the rear interior panel of the refrigerator compartment (on many Dacor French-door models, the fan is behind this panel). Look for heavy frost around the evaporator and fan housing. If present, defrost completely and check that the drain is not blocked.
Spin the fan blade: With power off, gently spin the fan blade by hand. It should move freely without scraping. If it is seized or rubbing, the motor or housing is damaged.
Inspect wiring and connector: Verify the fan motor connector is fully seated and that no wires are pinched or broken.
Test operation: Reassemble, restore power, and close the doors. After a few minutes of compressor operation, listen for the fan. If it does not run and ER FF reappears, the fan motor or main control board is likely defective.

Replacing the evaporator fan usually requires removing interior panels; if unsure, schedule service.

Refrigerator displays ER FF, fresh food section may be warm, and you may not hear the main evaporator fan running.
