Error code Er rt
Appliance Refrigerator
Quick answer

Er rt is a room temperature sensor error on Kenmore and Kenmore Elite 795 bottom-freezer refrigerators.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so Er rt 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

Room temperature sensor error.

Seeing Er rt on the display of a Kenmore or Kenmore Elite 795 bottom-freezer refrigerator means the refrigerator has reported a room temperature sensor error.

What the manual lists for Er rt

The manual describes the condition as a short in the sensor or a wiring problem. The part named for this code is the room temperature sensor. No owner reset steps are given, so the sensor and its wiring are something a technician looks at.
