What CE (Perfect Temp Drawer) means

On Electrolux side-by-side refrigerators with the Perfect Temp Drawer, such as the EI26SS55GS and EW26SS65GS, CE on the drawer display means a connector is not fully connected or has come loose. A drawer display that stays dark can mean the same thing. The refrigerator itself usually keeps cooling, but the drawer controls and temperature setting are not available. This often shows up after the drawer pan has been removed for cleaning.

Common causes of CE (Perfect Temp Drawer)

  • The drawer connector not fully seated after the pan was removed
  • A worn or bent connector on the drawer or the cabinet side
  • The drawer control or its wiring
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Remove the drawer pan. 2. Check that the connector is fully engaged, then set the pan back in place. 3. Close the drawer and watch the display. 4. If CE stays or the display stays dark, leave the drawer alone and call us.

! Why to stop there
  • A connector that will not seat may be worn or bent, and we look at both sides of it.
  • We test the drawer control only after the connection checks out.
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
CE (Perfect Temp Drawer)CE (Perfect Temp Drawer) questions
Does CE mean the whole refrigerator stopped cooling?

Not usually. CE relates to the drawer connection. The main compartments normally keep cooling, but you can check them with a thermometer if you are concerned about your food.

Why did CE appear after I cleaned the drawer?

Taking out the drawer pan can leave the connector slightly off. Pushing it fully together, as the owner guide describes, often restores the display and clears the message.

The drawer display stays dark. What does that mean?

A dark display can mean the connector is loose or not making contact. If reseating the pan does nothing, we will test the connection on both the drawer and cabinet sides.
