I have a Kenmore elite trio fridge. I am getting an ER F5 error on the display and a 3 beep every thirty seconds, as if the door(s) is open.
The refrigerator is not cooling, although the freezer is still at something under 32 after 3 days.
I've removed the panel from the back and removed and cleaned the printed circuit board as well as all connectors on it. The are three power leads coming into the bottom of the board, and 3 (what appear to be) control leads leaving the top labeled FAN, Right Door and Display respectively.
When I plug in the fan lead the system runs, although it is hard to tell if the fridge is cooling, when I plug in the right door the system is OK, but when I plug in the display I hear a pop and the system shuts down. Almost sounds as if there is a circuit popping.
I have ordered new boards for the display and the rear main control board. I'm wondering if anyone's had any experience with this, and if so is there something I can do to get the fridge cooling in the meantime.
Thanks
Er-FS error code: Failure of freezer sensor.
I have been finding the fuseable link in the defrost system on these models open preventing the defrost cycle.
This would involve removing the freezer back panel and removing the sensor and fuse from the evaporator.
It's just a plug in.

Can you show a picture or direct me th exactly where the freezer sensor is located?

So where do we put the part ? Where in the !@#$%^ does it go ????????????????///////
SOURCE: kenmore elite trio refridgerator with an error
ER FF is "Error Freezer Fan." Once the evaporator fan stops turning for more than 115 seconds, this error message
will be displayed. This fridge is poorly designed and is not designed with air gaps or enough air gaps to allow air behind the back panel of the freezer where the fans and condenser coils are located thus causing ice to build up around the fan and it's ability to spin. The evaporator fan helps circulate the cold air generated by the condenser coils.
The fix is (1) defrost your refrigerator which means you'll loose all your food if you don't have another unit to keep the food in until it's done defrosting or (2) to dismantle the entire freezer by removing all the trays and railing so that you can pull the back panel far enough to get the front end of a hair dryer over the top lip of the panel to melt the ice. My unit had ice build at the top right and left corners behind the panel. I opted for the latter and didn't have to throw any food away.
Good luck
SOURCE: er dh code error on Kenmore elite trio
The Er DH error code indicates the temperature sensor on the evaporator coil did not reach 50 degrees within one hour.
This would indicate the control board did put the refrigerator through a defrost cycle.
This problem could be caused by a defective relay on the control board, a defective defrost heater, a broken wire to the heater, or a stopped up drain on the defrost pan causing ice to form on the evaporator coil.
Before replacing the control board, someone should remove the food from the freezer, remove the freezer drawer, and remove the evaporator cover to expose the evaporator coil, heater, and defrost sensor.
The voltage to the defrost heater should be 120 volts ac.
The defrost heater is part of the evaporator coil and is not replaceable as a separate part.
You can test the operation of the defrost system by pressing "Ultra Ice" and "colder freezer temp" for 3 seconds.
The first time you press and hold the buttons the board will test the compressor, fan, and open the damper.
All displays should be on.
The second time you press and hold the buttons the board will test the compressor, fan, and close the damper.
The third time you press and hold the buttons, the board will turn the compressor and fan off and turn the defrost heater on for around 25 minutes. This would let you know if the defrost system is working.
