Error code CE
Appliance Freezer
Quick answer

CE on the Kenmore deluxe electronic-control freestanding freezer means the control panel and electronic control board are not communicating.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so CE may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Plain language

What this code means

Communication error between the control panel and the electronic control board.

CE in brief

  • Display: CE
  • Meaning: communication error between the control panel and the electronic control board
  • Covers: Kenmore deluxe electronic-control freestanding freezer

How the manual sequences the fix

A power reset comes first: pull the plug for one minute, then restore power. A returning code sends you to the control panel wire harness, which should be inspected for damage or a loose connection with the freezer unplugged. A sound harness leads to replacing the control panel, and if the fault continues, the electronic control board is replaced.

Similar freezer codes

E is a control system error and E7 is a stuck key on the control.
