Kenmore 795 model bottom-freezer refrigerator error codes

Kenmore 795 model bottom-freezer refrigerator code E Od

Listed as wi-Fi modem failure.

Unplug the refrigerator and check the wiring connection between the Wi-Fi modem and the display control board. If wiring connections are okay, replace the Wi-Fi modem. If the problem continues, replace the display control board. Parts named: Wi-Fi modem, display control board.

• A loose wire between the Wi-Fi modem and the display control board: E Od shows and the refrigerator cannot use its Wi-Fi. Unplug the refrigerator and check the wiring connection between the Wi-Fi modem and the display control board
• A Wi-Fi modem that has failed: The wiring connections are okay and E Od remains. The chart replaces the Wi-Fi modem if the wiring connections are okay
• A display control board that has failed: A new Wi-Fi modem does not clear E Od. The chart replaces the display control board if the problem continues

The chart's first step for E Od is to unplug the refrigerator and check the wiring connection between the Wi-Fi modem and the display control board.

The chart says to reconnect any loose wires; a modem that is not seated firmly at its connector shows E Od with nothing else wrong.

If the wiring connections are okay, the chart replaces the Wi-Fi modem, and if the problem continues it replaces the display control board.

E Od (795 model bottom-freezer table).

Wi-Fi modem and display control board.

A multimeter, a screwdriver or nut driver and a flashlight.

What does E Od mean on a Kenmore 795 bottom-freezer refrigerator? A Wi-Fi modem failure, in the chart's words.

Does E Od stop the refrigerator cooling? The chart does not say it does; it describes a modem failure, so cooling is a separate check.

Unplug the refrigerator before you touch any wiring, connector or part for E Od, and plug it back in only after the repair, since the control boards stay live while it is plugged in

Cooling continues without the Wi-Fi modem, so E Od is not a reason to move the food; it only cuts the app and network features

Kenmore 795 model bottom-freezer refrigerator code Er CF

Listed as condenser fan motor is defective.

Condenser fan motor, wiring or the control board Parts named: condenser fan motor, Power control board, Wiring harness.

• A condenser fan motor that is defective: Er CF shows and the condenser fan is still or slow. Check that the condenser fan turns when the compressor runs
• Wiring in the condenser fan circuit that is faulty: The fan is intermittent or the connector is loose. Check the harness that runs to the condenser fan for a broken wire
• A power control board that has failed: The motor and wiring are good and Er CF remains. The chart lists the power control board after the motor and the wiring

The chart's checks for Er CF start with the condenser fan and what can stop it, so look at the condenser fan for dust and lint or a blade rubbing on the housing before you replace a part.

A loose connector or a broken wire in the condenser fan circuit can raise Er CF with a good motor, so check the harness that runs to it.

• A short in the refrigerator defrost sensor: r dS shows and the refrigerator evaporator either frosts up or defrosts at the wrong time. Unplug the refrigerator and check the refrigerator defrost sensor wiring for a short or damage
• A wiring problem on the refrigerator defrost sensor circuit: The r dS display returns after a connector was disturbed. Reseat the refrigerator defrost sensor connector and look for a broken or pinched wire
• A failed controller assembly holding the defrost thermistor and fuse: The wiring is good and r dS still remains after a reseat. The chart names the controller assembly, which includes the defrost thermistor and the fuse for the defrost system

The chart lists a sensor short or a wiring problem for r dS, so look for damage along the refrigerator defrost sensor circuit first.

A loose or pinched wire in the refrigerator defrost circuit can raise r dS without a failed part, so seat the connector and repair what is damaged.

The chart's part for r dS is the controller assembly, which contains the defrost thermistor and the fuse for the defrost system, so it is replaced as one part.

r dS (795 model bottom-freezer table).

Controller assembly with the defrost thermistor and the defrost fuse.

What does r dS mean on a Kenmore 795 bottom-freezer refrigerator? A refrigerator defrost sensor error: the chart reports a sensor short or a wiring problem.

Which part does the chart name for r dS? The controller assembly, which has the defrost thermistor and the fuse for the defrost system.

Does the chart give a resistance for the refrigerator defrost sensor? No, it lists none.

How is F dS different? F dS is the freezer defrost sensor, with the same procedure on the other evaporator.

Unplug the refrigerator before you touch any wiring, connector or part for r dS, and plug it back in only after the repair, since the control boards stay live while it is plugged in

Let a frosted refrigerator evaporator thaw and dry before you plug in, since melt water can reach the connectors during the r dS repair
