Error codeEr CE / CE

The message
Shown as: Er CE or just CE on the numeric display
Reported problem: boards in the refrigerator are failing to communicate
General note: any error code on that display means the unit needs attention
A caution about the source
This wording comes from an Electrolux Australia support article. That article does not document the same display on refrigerators sold in the US, so treat it as a lead for your model and not as a confirmed match.
One thing to try
Cut power at the outlet for a short moment.
Turn it back on.
Look at the display to see if the error has gone.
When it stays, the article advises contacting service.
Related refrigerator messages
SY CE is a similar fault between the user interface and the main control board. Warmth in the cabinet is reported by H or HI.
Refrigerator service in San Francisco
If Er CE persists after the power cycle, Electrolux refrigerator repair in San Francisco is reachable at (415) 449-0036. Have the exact wording on the display, the model number and the power cycle you did ready.
Model compatibility: Electrolux reuses codes across series and model years, so Er CE / CE may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
Er CE, also shown as CE, indicates a communication error between the boards of the refrigerator.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
