What SY CE reports
The user interface (UI) and the main control board have lost contact. The wording SY CE, sometimes SY-CE, is used when this happens after the refrigerator has already been running for a while. It comes from Frigidaire service data sheets 242321500 (FFHN2740PS/PE) and A01544701 (FGHG2366PF), covering bottom-freezer ice and water refrigerators.
Owner side
No owner steps are listed in either sheet. Keep a note of the code and the time it came up, since that gives the service visit a starting point.
To get an SY CE looked at in San Francisco or the Bay Area, request Frigidaire refrigerator repair through (415) 319-6371. We ask for the code, the model number and how long the unit had been running before it appeared.
Model compatibility: Frigidaire reuses codes across series and model years, so SY CE may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
SY CE is a communication error between the user interface and the main control board after a period in operation.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
