Our refrigerator is 1 year & 1 week old. A few days ago it started making a noise that sounded like a motorcycle just after you closed the refrigerator or freezer door. (Like something kicks on to cool it down after the door had been opened). Yesterday morning it was noisy but still cooling. Yesterday at supper it was no longer cooling and displayed ER where the refrigerator temp setting is usually displayed and FF where the freezer temp setting is usually displayed. This morning, I pulled it out and unplugged it for a few minutes. A few hours later, I heard it dump a load of ice and opened up the doors and it appeared to be working fine and it is no longer noisy and the error codes are gone and the temperature settings are displayed again. There had been ice accumulating on the back wall of the freezer that appeared to be from the ice maker spraying water too hard and it splashing there but it was not blocking the air flow. This had melted off by the time I unplugged it and plugged it in again. The repairman was here but did not know the codes to get diagnostic information and has not replaced any parts. Has anyone else had this problem? Is this going to occur again on my refrigerator? Thank you LG French Door model LRFC217755TT. Refrigerator code says ER and Freezer code says dB. Any ideas before I call the repairman? I unplugged it figuring Ctrl Alt DLt nd it resets fine for 8-10 hours, then starts all over again. Every thing feels cold.
FF is your freezer fan. You may need to defrost the unit.

Andy and Catriver, I have the same issue as Andy. Our warranty was up on August 18th. I think LG quality is appaling. $1200 for their product and it fails just after one year. The temperature won't re-set. Andy, do you have a resolution yet? How much did it cost you? Have you complained to LG? The repairman will be here this afternoon at 4:PM. Good info Catriver. BTW- I just wanted to reply. I don't have a solution other telling evryone DO NOT BUY AN LG PRODUCT!! DAMN, AM I HONKED OFF!! Rascal F.

I fixed it. ER FF is "Error Freezer Fan." Once the evaporator fan stops turning for more than 115 seconds, this error message will be displayed. This fridge is poorly designed and is not designed with air gaps or enough air gaps to allow air behind the back panel of the freezer where the fans and condenser coils are located thus causing ice to build up around the fan and it's ability to spin. The evaporator fan helps cirulate the cold air generated by the condenser coils.
The fix is (1) defrost your refrigerator which means you'll loose all your food if you don't have another unit to keep the food in until it's done defrosting or (2) to dismantle the entire freezer by removing all the trays and railing so that you can pull the back panel far enough to get the front end of a hair dryer over the top lip of the panel to melt the ice. My unit had ice build at the top right and left corners behind the panel. I opted for the latter and didn't have to throw any food away.
This is going to be an annual chore if I want to keep this refrigerator. We should all ban together and call for a recall.

I'm no major appliance repairman. However, after reading several posts, I investigated the issue further since I received an ER FF on the front panel. I have a LFX25960SW refrigerator. I pulled the top and bottom baskets out, and was able to take the back panel out from inside. There was a solid block of ice built up around both fans and wires. I took a blow dryer and gradually melted the ice around the fans and wires. Then, as I was able, I pulled the remaining ice chunks off of the wires. I put the thing back together and it cleared the message. My wife says no more LG appliances for us. :)

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: What does message: Er FF mean?
That means the freezer fan is blocked, you need to order a new High voltage board, the ice has built up enough from not defrosting that it is interfering with the operation of the evaporator fan.

I have the same problem with the noise and ER FF error code. It is a reoccurring problem and I have no solution thurs far. It does appear to help when I melt off the ice in the back of the freezer but then it builds up again.
