Error code 52
Appliance Cooktop
Quick answer

Code 52 is a left rear temperature sensor failure; the manual has a technician test the sensor before replacing the element or a board.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so 52 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Plain language

What this code means

Left rear temperature sensor failure.

When 52 appears, the temperature sensor on the left rear element has failed.

The manual’s remedy

Left rear sensor trouble starts with unplugging the cooktop. Next comes a resistance reading, a job for someone with a meter. The manual lists a defective sensor as a reason to swap the element, while a healthy reading shifts attention to the power generator control board.
