Common Electrolux refrigerator error codes and what they mean
- OP in the freezer temperature display indicates that the freezer temperature sensor is electrically open. Unplug the refrigerator and check wiring between the freezer temperature sensor and the electronic control board. Reconnect any loose wires and repair any broken wires. If the wiring connections are okay, unplug the freezer temperature sensor from its wire harness and measure the resistance of the sensor using a multimeter. The meter should measure 84,925 ohms if the sensor temperature is 0 degrees, 32,566 ohms at 32 degrees and 11,304 ohms at 72 degrees (room temperature). Replace the sensor if the meter measures infinite resistance.
- SH in the freezer temperature display indicates a shorted temperature sensor. Unplug the refrigerator and disconnect the freezer temperature sensor from its wire harness. Measure the resistance of the sensor using a multimeter. The meter should measure resistance through the sensor as noted in the above error code troubleshooting. Replace the sensor if the meter measures resistance less than 10 ohms of resistance.
- SY EF indicates an evaporator fan failure. Unplug the refrigerator and check the evaporator fan wire harness connection in the freezer. Reconnect the wire harness plug if it’s loose. If the wire harness connection in the freezer is okay, check the evaporator fan wire connections to the electronic control board (brown/white, blue/white and yellow/white wires on J4A and red/white wire on J4B). If the wiring connections are okay, replace the evaporator fan. If the problem continues, replace the electronic control board.
- SY CE or SY CF codes appear when the refrigerator has a communications failure between the electronic control board and user interface. Unplug the refrigerator and check the wire harness connections between the user interface and the electronic control board. If the wiring connections are okay, replace the electronic control board. If the problem continues, replace the user interface.
