Kenmore ice makers,
specifically.

Kenmore refrigerators are built by different manufacturers, and the first three digits of the model number decide which ice maker and which code list apply. Current Kenmore models include top-freezers with an ice maker and a French door with dual ice makers.

The Kenmore lineup

What is particular
to Kenmore.

Kenmore ice makers sit in the French door (in-door on 795 models), in the freezer on top-freezer and side-by-side models, and in both places on dual-ice models. The model prefix tells us the maker and the code list.

The prefix picks the code chart

Sears keeps separate code charts by model prefix, so Er IS on a 795 and i5 on a 111 are two ways of naming an ice maker sensor. We read the whole model number before the code.

795 codes on the temperature display

Kenmore 795 models show their Er codes, including four that concern ice and water, on the temperature display. Er IF covers the fan that cools the ice compartment in the door.

111 codes behind a diagnostic mode

Kenmore 111 Trio models only show their codes in a diagnostic mode entered from the control panel. Ice maker, ice room and dispenser codes each have their own line.

Sensors built into the ice maker

On both families, Sears notes the ice maker sensor is not sold separately. A confirmed sensor failure usually means the ice maker assembly.

Parts

Parts follow the platform the Kenmore was built on, so the full model number is needed to order them. Some older Kenmore ice maker parts can take longer to source.

Repair or replace

A single ice maker or valve failure is usually worth repairing on a Kenmore. On older models where parts are scarce, we say so before ordering.

Questions about
Kenmore ice makers.

Why do Kenmore ice codes differ between models?
Kenmore models come from different makers, and Sears publishes a separate code chart for each model prefix.
How do I see codes on a Kenmore Trio?
Sears describes a diagnostic mode: hold Lock for three seconds, then hold Freezer and Refrigerator while pressing Acela Ice five times, and step through with the Freezer button.
What does Er gF mean on a Kenmore French door?
It is the flow meter code; Sears asks for water pressure and flow to be checked first.
