I have a 3 yr old upright freezer with a Deluxe Electronic Temperature Control on it that is flashing CE and will alarm every 5 seconds if not silenced which can be done and will stay silenced for 12 hrs and then start beeping again. I have been told that CE stands for communication error. What exactly does this mean and what is the importance of immediate repair. I do want to have it repaired, so therefore, do you have the part that I looking for?
Thank you

CE errors can be a number of things.
- Can be data errors between components on a board.
- Can be data errors between boards.
First I would unplug the unit and check/replace the 9 volt battery.
Be sure to disconnect the battery even if it is good.
By removing all power from the unit it may reset an electronic fault.
If that does not fix it, unplug the unit and clean the connectors between the boards in the unit.
Connector Cleaning / Checking
Unplug the unit
Open it up
Remove the ribbon cable from the keypad to the control board at the control board.
Clean the edge connector.
If it is the type where there is not a connector just the insulation is removed, it can be cleaned with a pencil eraser. Do not use an ink eraser as it is too abrasive.
Check the tracks in the ribbon cable for hairline cracks. A magnifying glass helps here.
Would not hurt to clean the connector on the board. Use electronics contact cleaner or isopropyl alcohol and a tooth brush. Be gentle and do not reconnect till all the solvent evaporates.
Reconnect everything and give it a try.
Thanks denman,
I appreciate your quick response. I will save your info for future use, but I actually resolved my problem from a service company. They recommended that I actually turn off the circuit breaker to the freezer, not just unplug it which I had already down and strangely enough it worked. Take care.
I have a question on a microwave magnatron. Looking online for used replacement and came across several.My question is the main number is the same but the other three are not same. Any idea if that matters. I cannot find info explaining these number letter codes. This is off a Whirlpool WMH 32519 HV-1, magnetron Toshiba 2M253 J, 7H33, 36, HS-B. Lot of numbers. So the only number matching any other magnetrons is 2M253 J. Appreciate any input on this. Frank
