Error code OP (freezer display)
Appliance Refrigerator
Quick answer

OP in the freezer temperature display points to an open freezer sensor on Kenmore French-door models beginning 253.7031.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so OP (freezer display) 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

The freezer temperature sensor circuit is open.

When the freezer temperature display on your Kenmore French-door refrigerator reads OP, the control is telling you the freezer temperature sensor is open. The entry covers Kenmore French-door refrigerators with model numbers beginning 253.7031.

What the manual tells the owner to do

  1. Unplug the refrigerator.
  2. Check the wiring connections between the freezer temperature sensor and the electronic control board.
  3. Reconnect any loose wires.

Checks that belong to a technician

If the connections are sound, the manual moves on to meter work: the sensor is unplugged from its harness and its resistance is measured, then the wires running to the control board are measured the same way. A technician uses those readings to decide among the sensor, the wiring and the electronic control board.
