I keep getting an error code( Er IF) on my kenmore refrigerator(#79578412800) . So far if I turn off the icemaker for a day or two the error will go away and I can turn the icemaker back on it will work fine. Sometimes the fan makes a lot of noise and sometimes it doesn't .

This is an error code for the icemaker fan motor.

If the control does not see a signal coming back from the fan motor you will get this error code.
Please see the image below from the service manual that explains the ER IF error code.

The ER IF code indicates a failure of the icing fan.

You may notice slower ice production but the other fans should be okay.

You can select the ultra ice option and see if the fan toggles on.

The fan or the control is bad.

Hello gravyblast.
Welcome to Fixya.


You said, your Kenmore Elite Trio, model 795.7756 or 7757 has an error message simply reading ER IF. No pressing of buttons, or combination thereof changes anything. Also, the ice maker has stopped working although it is turned on.
Can anyone help?
I cannot pull the refrigerator out to unplug and reboot it, thus I don't know what to do.

Try tripping the breaker off for 5 minutes and then see if this method resets the system?
Do not turn it back on for at least tree minutes. That's why I said, Five!!!

Lets see how it resets while I look your fridge up.
Write back. Huuum
7:11 pm eastern standard time . I'm here!

Bad icemaker fan. When looking in the freezer, its the one on the left.
