The Er CO error code on a Kenmore refrigerator indicates a communication error between the main control board and one or more sub-controllers (display board, inverter board, or secondary control module). This is a critical error that may cause the refrigerator to operate incorrectly or stop functioning.
Causes
- Loose or damaged communication harness connectors
- Failed main control board
- Failed display or secondary control board
- Power supply issues affecting board communication
Troubleshooting
- Unplug the refrigerator for 5 minutes to reset the boards.
- If Er CO returns, professional diagnosis of the control board communication circuit is required.
