What Er CF
actually means.
Er CF says the condenser fan motor, in the machine compartment at the back near the floor, is not working. Sears lists the motor, its wiring and the control board. That fan carries away the heat pulled out of the cabinet, so cooling suffers while it is stopped.

A fan the control board expected to be turning is not — a motor that has failed, or ice holding the blade still.

Two fans, two completely different failures — one stops the cold arriving, the other stops the heat leaving.

SourceSears PartsDirect: Kenmore 795 bottom-freezer error codes (Wayback copy, Jan 2021)
Kenmore models whose number starts 795 (built by LG); Sears lists Er CF as the condenser fan, and the 795.7756x service manual as the fan motor for the machine room.
Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Kenmore's own guidance for Er CF on its refrigerators. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Read the prefix on the model label and make sure it is 795; a plain CF on a 106 model is a different code.
Pull the refrigerator out and check that nothing is pressed against the rear lower cover.
Book a visit without a long wait, since this fan is part of how the refrigerator gets rid of heat.
What not to do
Er CF on a 795 is not a communication code. On these models the CF stands for the condenser fan.
