Kenmore Cooktop 51 Error Code

Code 51 points at the temperature sensor for the left front element.

What a technician checks

Power is disconnected first. Using a volt/ohm meter, the technician measures the left front sensor and expects about 1000 ohms at room temperature. If the sensor has failed, the element comes out because the sensor is built into it.

Applies to

Sensor codes for other elements

• The right front sensor code: the same fault on the right side up front
