Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so Er IF 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 thiscode means
Ice compartment fan failed.
Er IF in short
The ice compartment fan on a 795-prefix Kenmore bottom-freezer refrigerator has failed. The manual gives four possible reasons: a blocked icing fan, a defective ice fan motor, defective circuit wiring, or a failed control board.
Next step
No owner procedure is written out. Unplug the unit if you must handle it, and let a technician work through the ice fan motor, wiring harness and power control board.
