Error code E Control system error
Appliance Freezer
Quick answer

The E display means a control system error on the Kenmore deluxe electronic-control freezer. The manual starts with a 1 minute unplug reset.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so E Control system error 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

Control system error.

Error E in short

The display shows E and the freezer is reporting a control system error. It is listed for the Kenmore deluxe electronic-control freestanding freezer.

Owner checks, in the manual’s order

Start by unplugging the freezer for 1 minute so the electronic control board resets, and plug it in again. Should E show up once more, unplug it and look at the wire harness of the electronic control board for damage or a loose connection. A harness in good shape means the next move is a service technician who can diagnose and repair the freezer.
