Electrolux refrigerator error codes
These error code explanations can help you diagnose a problem with your Electrolux French-door refrigerator.
| Error Code | Condition | DIY Advice |
|---|---|---|
| OP in freezer temperature display | Freezer temperature sensor open, |
Check/Repair
Unplug the refrigerator and check wiring connections between the freezer
temperature sensor and the electronic control board. Reconnect any loose
wires. If the wiring connections are okay, unplug the freezer temperature
sensor from its wire harness and measure the resistance of the sensor using a
multimeter. The meter should measure 84,925 ohms if the sensor temperature is
0 degrees, 32,566 ohms at 32 degrees and 11,304 ohms at 72 degrees (room
temperature). Replace the sensor if the meter measures infinite resistance. If
the meter measures correct resistance through the sensor, plug the temperature
sensor back in and measure resistance through the freezer temperature sensor
wires that connect to the electronic control board. The freezer temperature
sensor connects to the electronic control board through the gray/white wires
on the J4A connector. Unplug the J4A connector from the control board and
measure resistance through the gray/white wires. The meter should read the
same resistance as for the temperature sensor. If the meter measures correct
sensor resistance through the wires, you’ll likely need to replace the
electronic control board because it’s not accurately detecting sensor
resistance. Find and repair the sensor wiring failure if the meter measures
infinite resistance through the sensor wires.

Check/Repair
Unplug the refrigerator and disconnect the freezer temperature sensor from its
wire harness. Measure the resistance of the sensor using a multimeter. The
meter should measure 84,925 ohms if the sensor temperature is 0 degrees,
32,566 ohms at 32 degrees and 11,304 ohms at 72 degrees (room temperature).
Replace the sensor if the meter measures resistance less than 10 ohms of
resistance. If the meter measures correct resistance through the sensor, plug
the temperature sensor back in and measure resistance through the freezer
temperature sensor wires that connect to the electronic control board (the
gray/white wires on the J4A connector). Unplug the J4A connector from the
control board and measure resistance through the gray/white wires. The meter
should read the same resistance as for the temperature sensor. If the meter
measures correct sensor resistance through the wires, you’ll likely need to
replace the electronic control board because it’s not accurately detecting
sensor resistance. Find and repair the sensor wiring failure if the meter
measures less than 10 ohms of resistance through the sensor wires.,

Check/Repair
Unplug the refrigerator and check wiring connections between the refrigerator
temperature sensor and the electronic control board. Reconnect any loose
wires. If wiring is okay, unplug the refrigerator temperature sensor from its
wire harness and measure the resistance of the sensor using a multimeter. The
meter should measure 28,300 ohms if the sensor temperature is 37 degrees,
32,566 ohms at 32 degrees and 11,304 ohms at 72 degrees (room temperature).
Replace the sensor if the meter measures infinite resistance. If the meter
measures correct resistance through the sensor, plug the temperature sensor
back in and measure resistance through the refrigerator temperature sensor
wires that connect to the electronic control board (the gray/black wires on
the J4A connector). Unplug the J4A connector from the control board and
measure resistance through the gray/black wires. The meter should read the
same resistance as for the temperature sensor. If the meter measures correct
sensor resistance through the wires, you’ll likely need to replace the
electronic control board because it’s not accurately detecting sensor
resistance. Find and repair the sensor wiring failure if the meter measures
infinite resistance through the sensor wires.

SY CE or SY CF| Communications failure between the electronic control board
and user interface| Check/Repair
Unplug the refrigerator and check the wire harness connections between the
user interface and the electronic control board. If the wiring connections are
okay, replace the electronic control board. If the problem continues, replace
the user interface.
