For a few weeks the fridge was making a strange noise whereas it would sound like a small but power fan would start rotating. The sound would last for an hour or longer. Strangely, it would stop any time you open the door of the fridge part or simply push the button that controls the light on the fridge. Yesterday the sound would not longer start at all, but the fridge is getting warm, and the temperature sensor shows FF for the freezer (that is still holding the freeze) and ERR for the fridge part. What can I do?

Side by side and other refrigerators are controlled or cooled by one system. Look to the freezer side for frost buildup on the back wall of the freezer. Frost buildup on the back wall of the freezer stops the air that cools the refrigerator from circulating. Frost on the back wall indicates a problem in the defrost circuit related to the timing device, heaters or defrost thermostat.

I had the same problem. I can tell you that simply unplugging the fridge and letting it defrost isn't going to work. You need to get take it apart.

I had the Er FF code about 2 months ago and let the freezer defrost for a couple hours and it started working again. Then two days ago I got the error again. This time I decided to get inside there.

First and foremost, UNPLUG the fridge and TURN OFF the water!

Next empty everything out of the freezer and start taking it apart. You have to get everything out of it to get that back panel off. This includes the ice maker and the rails that the drawers slide on.

Now that the freezer is completely empty there are two screws that hole the back panel on. In my freezer one is a white screw high in the center and one was a gold screw in the little panel that the ice maker hooked up to.

Next grab the back panel by the little fins on the top of it in the middle. Give it a good firm pull, but take care not to yank it too far... it's still connected by wires back there. When I pulled my panel out I found a HUGE chunk of ice on the top of the panel just to the right of the fan that feeds cold are to the fridge. Get that thing off of there taking care not to damage the foam insulation and watch those shiny metal fins that are behind the panel.

While you're putting it back together try to dry everything off as much as possible (I tried see the bright side of the whole evolution and realized I could really clean my freezer).

Once it's all put back together plug that baby in, turn on the water, and enjoy the next four hours as it gets back to being cold.

I'd say you need moderate tinkering skill to do this. If you only own one screwdriver and you never use it you should probably call someone.

Hope this helps!

SOURCE: error code er ff.how do i fix this?

The error code appears when there is an abnormality of BLDC FAN Motor for Freezer. It circulates cold air from the freezer to the fridge to allow cooling. Check the motor wiring harness for poor connections. If the motor is not working at all, you need to replace it.
To remove the fan and motor assembly:

1. Remove the freezer shelf. (If your refrigerator has an
   icemaker, remove the icemaker first).
2. Remove the plastic guide for slides on left side by
   unscrewing phillips head screws.
3. Remove the grille by removing one screw and pulling the
   grille forward.
4. Remove the Fan Motor assembly by loosening 2 screws
   and disassembling the shroud.
5. Pull out the fan and separate the Fan Motor and Bracket.
6. Replace fan motor assembly in reverse order.
