Q: What does Frigidaire Refrigerator Er CE Error Code - Causes & Fix mean?

Er CE means a communication error between the main control board and the user interface. A power cycle clears many cases before any parts.

Frigidaire Refrigerator Er CE Error Code — What It Means

Er CE means Error Communication. The main control board and the user interface board cannot exchange data, so the display and controls may freeze or behave oddly.

Cooling can keep running, but settings and the dispenser may not respond. The cause is usually a loose harness between the boards, a damaged connector, or a failed board.

Common Causes

Power up glitch A surge or outage can leave the two boards unable to sync until reset.
