What Er FS / Er rS (795 / LG-built) means

The Kenmore 795. refrigerator platform was built by LG, and it names its temperature sensors in the code. Er FS is a freezer sensor error and Er rS is a refrigerator sensor error. Each means the control is not getting a good reading from that sensor, through the sensor itself, its wiring, or its connectors. You may find that compartment too warm, too cold, or cycling oddly, even though the other side behaves normally.

Common causes of Er FS / Er rS (795 / LG-built)

Sensor for the named compartment
Its wiring and connector
Main control board input
Food or ice pressed against the sensor

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Note which compartment is named, freezer for Er FS and refrigerator for Er rS. 2. Check food temperatures with a thermometer. 3. Keep items away from the rear wall where the sensor sits. 4. Unplug the refrigerator for several minutes, then plug it back in. 5. If the code returns, call us.

! Why to stop there

The sensor, the wiring, and the board input look the same from the code
We test the sensor circuit and connectors
We put the price in writing ahead of any part we order

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 FS / Er rS (795 / LG-built)Er FS / Er rS (795 / LG-built) questions

What does the S stand for?

The code names the sensor, with F for freezer and r for refrigerator. Er FS is the freezer sensor and Er rS is the refrigerator sensor on this 795 platform.

Will the temperature be wrong?

It can be, because the control may estimate when it cannot read the sensor. Check with a separate thermometer and keep perishables cold until the circuit has been tested.

Do you replace the sensor on the spot?

Only if it tests bad. A pinched wire or a loose connector can look identical to a failed sensor. A written price comes before work, and our workmanship carries a 30-day warranty.
