The freezer compartment temperature has risen above the high-temperature alarm threshold (typically above 26°F). This is a critical food safety alert — frozen food may begin to thaw. Check if the freezer door was left open. Verify the compressor is running and the condenser fan is operating. Check the evaporator fan (SY EF error may also be present).
