F — Error codes

Common Kenmore error codes, decoded by OEM builder.

View all codes →

Which error code your Kenmore appliance shows depends on which OEM built it — decode the first three digits of the model number first. Whirlpool-built (110/665-series) washers show Sud (suds lock) or F8E1 (long fill); Whirlpool-built dishwashers show F2 (water leak). LG-built (795/796-series) washers show OE (drain error), IE (inlet error), or UE (unbalanced load). Frigidaire-built (790/970-series) ranges and wall ovens show F10 (thermal runaway, safety-critical) or F30/F31 (RTD sensor probe) on the Electronic Oven Control. Whirlpool-built (110-series) dryers show PF (power failure) or F1/F01 (control board failure). Refrigerators, freezers, ice makers, and range hoods mostly have no citable error-code list and are diagnosed by symptom — the LG-built 795-series refrigerator is the OEM-specific exception, showing codes such as Er FF (evaporator fan) or Er CF (condenser fan). Some problems clear with a reset; sensor and control failures need a technician.
