Quick answer

Code 11 on Kenmore 790 induction cooktops reports a defective right rear element Up key. The manual says to disconnect power and test the harness connections.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so 11 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
