Kenmore Refrigerator Er FZ Error — Freezer Temperature Sensor Fault

The Er FZ error code specifically identifies a fault with the freezer compartment temperature sensor. This sensor reports freezer temperature to the main control board, which uses the reading to regulate compressor run time and defrost cycles.

Symptoms of Er FZ

  • Freezer temperature fluctuating significantly from the set point
  • Ice maker producing small or hollow ice cubes (symptom of temperature instability)
  • Er FZ displayed on the panel, often accompanied by beeping
  • Frozen food beginning to thaw despite the freezer appearing to run

Testing and Replacement

The freezer sensor is typically mounted to the evaporator cover inside the freezer compartment. Remove the cover (usually clipped in place) to access and test the sensor. Our technicians verify the full freezer cooling system — sensor, defrost heater, and evaporator fans — during every freezer temperature complaint call.
