Choose your Kenmore appliance
About Kenmore
Kenmore is an American appliance brand that was sold for decades through Sears. Other manufacturers built Kenmore appliances under contract, and the first three digits of the model number (such as 110, 417 or 796) tell you which product family you have. The error codes follow that family's system, so check your model number before you read a code.

Before you start
- Find your model number. It's on the rating label, usually inside the door or lid, on the frame, or on the back or side panel.
- Try a reset. Unplug the appliance or switch off its breaker for 10 minutes. Many codes are one-off glitches.
- Stay safe. Never bypass safety switches or work on live wiring, gas or refrigerant lines. Each guide tells you when to call a technician.
