What Er FS
actually means.
Er FS says the control has lost a believable reading from the freezer temperature sensor, either because the sensor itself has shorted or opened or because its wiring or connector has. Without that number the board is guessing at how hard to run the freezer. The LG-built 795 service manual lists the same code as a short or disconnection of the freezer sensor.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Kenmore's own guidance for Er FS on its refrigerators. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Find the model label inside the fresh food section and confirm the number begins 795, since Er FS is read from that family's chart.
Put a thermometer in the freezer so you can see whether it is still freezing hard.
Book a visit; the freezer sensor and its connector are measured with a meter before a part is ordered.
What not to do
Er FS is not a report that the freezer is warm. A freezer can be perfectly cold while this code shows, because the trouble is the reading, not the cold.
