Error code OP (refrigerator display)
Appliance Refrigerator
Quick answer

OP in the refrigerator display marks an open refrigerator temperature sensor on Kenmore French-door models beginning 253.7031.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so OP (refrigerator 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 refrigerator temperature sensor circuit is open.

Your Kenmore French-door refrigerator is showing OP on the refrigerator side. The control has found the refrigerator temperature sensor open. Models affected have numbers beginning 253.7031.

Two displays, two sensors

Freezer displays use the same letters for the freezer sensor, so note which display lit up. That tells you which sensor the control is complaining about.

Next move

Pull the plug before anyone goes near the sensor or control wiring. Tracing an open sensor circuit takes meter readings and board work, and those belong to a technician.
