Why a refrigerator shows 77 77
Demo mode is built for units standing on a store floor. While it is active, the components do not work, so a refrigerator reading 77 77 is not cooling the way it should.
Leaving demo mode
Pull the power cord and wait 5 minutes.
Plug the refrigerator back in.
Per the owner guide, demo mode is then off.
If 77 77 returns
A refrigerator installed up to 30 days ago should go back to the installer. For an older installation, the guide says to contact Electrolux and book service.
Er CE points to a communication error between boards.
