What Er SS
actually means.
Er SS is the pantry sensor, and on these refrigerators the pantry is the deli drawer with its own temperature setting. Sears lists a short in that sensor or a problem in its wiring. Until it is fixed, the drawer's own temperature control has nothing to work from.

Look for a model number starting 795 on the label before assuming Er SS means the deli drawer.
Move meats and cheeses from the drawer onto a main shelf that you know is cold.
Book a visit and point the technician at the pantry drawer and its sensor.
What not to do
Er SS does not affect the main compartments directly. The fresh food shelves and the freezer rely on other sensors.
