First thing to do is unplug your unit for one hour and then plug it back in to see if the control board will reset itself. If you are still getting the SY EF error codes then you will need to replace the controller board

SY EF is refer to the Evaporator Fan Circuit error; I suggtes check this DATASHEET

Keep us updated.

    I dont understand why you cannot open the "datasheet", this is PDF format; try this other link:
    -http://manuals.frigidaire.com/prodinfo_p...
    -http://www.specsserver.com/CACHE/FRWQJVN...

    Keep in mind that the SY EF code means that you have an error with your evaporator fan motor. If you
    open the freezer and remove everything out of the freezer, you can
    remove the lower back panel inside the freezer. There is a fan behind
    this panel and that is your evaporator fan. You will need to replace
    this part.

    Hope helps.

SOURCE: On the freezer and fridge

There is either something wrong with the fan or the computer. But the only thing you can do is go through the owners manual if you can't correct it with that you will have to call for warranty service. If you go any further then that you will void the warranty.

The short answer is that EF on the Electrolux refrigerator digital display means "evaporator fan." The long answer is, it doesn't necessarily mean there is something wrong with your Electrolux refrigerator.

Hope helps.

Call a local repair service. Possibly a bad control board that we DIYER's can not change out if we could even get one.

Frigidaire gallery Refrigeraror SY EF error code

Unfortunately, the SY EF error can mean a problem with the electronic control board or the fan. Check your wiring. It's possible that the wiring harness isn't fully seated (at the fan in the freezer or the electronic control board) or one of the wires in the harness is broken. If those are okay and the problem persists, then a new control board is needed.

I wish that I had better news for you.

My refrigerator is not keeping temp and there is a code on the water/ice machine reads S(or 5)y EF. What does this code indicate?

If I'm not mistaken EF error code stands for Evaporator Fan which is the fan motor in the back of the freezer section. That would explain the noise you heard. The fan could possibly be frozen or stuck or the motor actually went bad and needs replaced. Without that fan running you will get very little cooling.

What does the error code SY EF mean on an Electrolux French door refrigerator?

Hello Suzanne, thank you for your post!

I understand that your Electrolux refrigerator is displaying an error code of "SY EF". An "SY EF" code stands for an evaporator fan circuit failure. This could also be a miscommunication with your refrigerator and I would advise performing a reset on your refrigerator. You can reset it by disconnecting the power plug from the outlet for roughly ten minutes. If that does not help correct your issue you may need to replace your main control board or a wiring harness. For proper disassembly and repair of your refrigerator I would recommend having a professional technician for proper diagnosis and repair. I hope this information is helpful. -Matt

SY EF electrolux

Hi daneilb101 - Typically error code SY EF indicates that the refrigerator has detected an evaporator fan circuit failure. Contact a professional to move forward accurately. The wiring between the main control board and evaporator fan will need to be check and diagnose. Depending on the diagnoses the main control board may need replacing.
