SOURCE: LG Fridge Freezer display has CF error code
Turns out a CF ER is a Compressor Fan problem.
Had a look and the fan was not turning, although it spins freely. Apparently it's a 3 phase 12v fan. I was able to get a resistance measurement across it but didn't know what to expect.
This also explains why it seemed a bit quieter and why the water is a bit warmer sometimes. The valve for the water dispenser is right beside the fan and it's getting pretty hot in there at the moment.

Hello Angela Clark - Typically error code SY CF indicates that the refrigerator has detected a communication failure after power up. Contact a professional to move forward accurately. The wiring between the main control board and user interface board will need to be check and diagnose. Depending on the diagnoses the main control board may need replacing.

I have a very similar issue with my GE in wall oven, circa 1999. I learned it was due to one of two issues.
1. The touch panel keypad is shorting out somewhere along the ribbon wire circuit. Replacement likely needed.
2. The microcontroller brain of the oven is faulty. Replacement likely needed.
My issue was the keypad. I personally went to RadioShack and prototyped a new circuit board to reverse engineer the keypad. The flimsy keypad replacement was $244.00 for a new one, however they no longer make the keypad. For less than $20 and a little solder I have a fully functioning replacement.
Hello Suzanne, thank you for your post!
I understand that your Electrolux refrigerator is displaying an error code of "SY EF". An "SY EF" code stands for an evaporator fan circuit failure. This could also be a miscommunication with your refrigerator and I would advise performing a reset on your refrigerator. You can reset it by disconnecting the power plug from the outlet for roughly ten minutes. If that does not help correct your issue you may need to replace your main control board or a wiring harness. For proper disassembly and repair of your refrigerator I would recommend having a professional technician for proper diagnosis and repair. I hope this information is helpful. -Matt
Hello Eric espy, thanks for your post!
From my understanding you used the icemaker on your Frigidaire refrigerator and now have a code of "SY CF" on the display. That code of "SY CF" stands for communication failure after power up. This could be a possible communication error between the UIB (User Interface Board) and main control board. I would suggest performing a reset, which should clear any false error codes. If you continue to receive the error I would suggest contacting a professional technician for proper diagnosis and repair. This may help you avoid unnecessary part purchases. -Matt
