Frigidaire Refrigerator ES Error Code

The evaporator temperature sensor is defective or its circuit is open/shorted.

Common causes

  • Defective evaporator sensor
  • Broken wire or poor connection
  • Faulty control board

How to fix it

  1. Unplug refrigerator and locate evaporator sensor (usually on evaporator coils).
  2. Check sensor wiring for breaks and ensure connector is seated properly.
  3. Measure sensor resistance; a short or open indicates a bad sensor.
⚠ When to call a pro: If sensor tests bad, replace it. If code continues, the control board may be at fault.
