Quick answer
Er T3 — Electrolux refrigerator code Er T3 indicates temperature-sensor problem detected on the four-door platform.

Before you call
Safe checks you can make
These are simple, non-hazardous checks only. If anything is unclear, stop and contact a technician.
Keep the doors closed and monitor actual cabinet temperature with a refrigerator thermometer.
Disconnect power briefly only if the appliance remains safely cold, then restore power.
Do not access buried thermistors or wiring harnesses yourself.
If ice production is affected, turn the ice maker off until the code is diagnosed.
Important safety warning. Stop if food temperatures rise into an unsafe range or the refrigerator stops cooling.
