What Er FF / Er CF (795 / LG-built) means

Two fans keep these Kenmore 795. refrigerators cold, and LG built the platform. Er FF means the evaporator fan, the one inside the freezer that moves cold air around, has failed. Er CF means the condenser fan motor, which cools the compressor area, is defective. You may hear a fan that is silent, scraping, or buzzing, see warm compartments or frost, or find the back of the refrigerator unusually hot.

Common causes of Er FF / Er CF (795 / LG-built)

Evaporator fan motor in the freezer
Condenser fan motor near the compressor
Blocked or dusty fan area
Wiring to the fan

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Listen for a fan running at the back and inside the freezer. 2. Make sure food is not pushed against the freezer vents. 3. Keep a few inches of room behind and beside the refrigerator. 4. Vacuum dust from around the base grille only where you can reach it easily. 5. If the code remains, call us and say whether it was Er FF or Er CF.

! Why to stop there

A fan code can mean a jammed fan, a dead motor, or wiring trouble
We check for obstruction first, then the motor
We quote in writing before replacing a motor

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

Er FF / Er CF (795 / LG-built)Er FF / Er CF (795 / LG-built) questions

Which fan does each code mean?

Er FF is the evaporator fan inside the freezer, and Er CF is the condenser fan motor near the compressor. They sit in different places, so we start with the one named.

Can a stuck fan harm the compressor?

A condenser fan that does not run can let the compressor overheat. Do not ignore Er CF for long, and call us if the back feels very hot.

Is replacing the fan motor typical?

When a motor tests bad, yes, but a blocked or iced fan can give the same code, so we look for that first. A written price comes before work, and our workmanship is covered for 30 days.
