Quick answer
Electrolux refrigerator code Er T6 indicates ice-maker cabinet or tray temperature-sensor problem on applicable four-door platforms.
Model compatibility: Electrolux reuses codes across series and control generations, so Er T6 may mean something different on another appliance or platform. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
If your Electrolux refrigerator displays Er T6, the control has detected ice-maker cabinet or tray temperature-sensor problem on applicable four-door platforms. Start with the checks that are safe to perform without opening the appliance. Use the observed symptoms and the full model number to confirm the correct diagnostic path.
For this control generation, the useful interpretation is specific: ice-maker cabinet or tray temperature-sensor problem on applicable four-door platforms. Observed behavior such as displayed temperature may be inaccurate should be recorded because it helps distinguish temperature sensor or thermistor issue from sensor wiring problem.
Electrolux US support lists Er CE and Er T1–Er T6 for four-door refrigerators. The public guide does not define every T-code individually, so T1–T5 are kept at the supported temperature-sensor-family level until model-specific technical documentation is confirmed.

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.

When to call a technician
A recurring Er T6 sensor code needs model-specific thermistor, wiring, and control checks.
If Er T6 returns, give the technician the exact model number, the code exactly as shown, and whether displayed temperature may be inaccurate. That information helps focus testing on temperature sensor or thermistor issue and related platform-specific circuits.
