Kenmore Display Codes Need Plate Context
Copy the exact digits, the appliance, and the rating plate. Kenmore platforms reuse codes — this library does not invent a Kenmore-universal meaning. Search by code or appliance below.

Use this library to look up a code by appliance. Copy the exact display, then note the model number from the rating plate before you open a code page. A code page tells you what that display points to on the listed appliance, and a code alone does not prove which part failed.

How to use this error-code database

Why meanings can differ by model
Kenmore reuses similar codes across many appliances and generations, so an “E” code on a dishwasher may not mean the same thing on a range or oven. Use the appliance filter to find the guide that matches your machine.

Where to find your model number
The full model number is usually on a rating label — inside the door frame, around the opening, or on a side panel. Recording it helps a technician interpret the code correctly and bring the right parts.

When to stop troubleshooting
Stop immediately and contact a professional if you notice smoke, a burning smell, gas odor, sparks, or water near electrical parts. Never work on live electrical systems, gas connections, or sealed refrigerant systems.

When to request repair service
If a code returns after the safe checks, or the appliance will not operate normally, book a diagnosis. A technician can confirm the fault on your specific model and resolve it safely.
