What Er FF
actually means.
Er FF says the evaporator fan, which pushes air across the freezer coil and on through the cabinet, is not running. Sears lists the fan motor, the control board and the wiring harness between them. The 795 service manual defines it by the fan motor's missing feedback signal.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Kenmore's own guidance for Er FF on its refrigerators. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Confirm the model number on the fresh food label starts 795; this is how Er FF reads on that series.
Keep new groceries away from the rear freezer wall so the little air that moves can still circulate.
Book a visit; the fan, its harness and the board are each tested before a part is chosen.
What not to do
Er FF is not a condenser fan code. The fan in the compartment at the back near the floor reports as Er CF instead.
