Kenmore Refrigerator Er CO Error Code — Control Board Communication Fault

Kenmore Refrigerator

High Severity
Warning: If your Kenmore appliance displays the Er CO error code and you are unsure how to proceed, turn off the appliance and contact a qualified technician. Some errors require professional repair to avoid further damage or safety risks.

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

  1. Unplug the refrigerator for 5 minutes to reset the boards.
  2. If Er CO returns, professional diagnosis of the control board communication circuit is required.
