Er IS on the temperature display of a Kenmore 795 points at the sensor inside the ice maker. Sears lists a shorted sensor or a wiring problem, and because the sensor is built into the ice maker, the usual part is the whole ice maker assembly. Kenmore ice maker display · also shown as ErIS What to do when Er IS shows on the ice maker ### Kind of code Temperature sensors The control lost track of how cold the ice mold or the ice compartment is, because a thermistor reads nonsense or its wire lost contact. Without that reading the ice maker cannot tell when a batch is frozen, so it stops or harvests at the wrong time. Frost packed around the sensor and a loose plug are checked before the sensor itself is changed. ### Usually leads to Ice maker control and sensor repair The control board, the thermistors, the bin sensor and the wiring that decide when an ice maker fills, freezes and stops, tested and repaired when a light flashes, a code shows, a breaker trips or the ice never stops coming. ### Shows up as No Ice Coming From the Ice Maker The mold sits empty or holds one frozen batch that never drops, the bin stays bare for days, and the dispenser gives water as usual: an ice maker not making ice while the rest of the appliance carries on normally. ### Make Kenmore Kenmore ice maker repair, with the series identified from the printed model number before a part is chosen. ### Source Sears PartsDirect: Kenmore 795 bottom-freezer error codes (Wayback copy, Jan 2021) Kenmore and Kenmore Elite bottom-freezer models whose number begins 795, with an ice maker in the French door. ## Before you book, in this order.

Write down the code and the full model number from the rating label. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Can the ice maker sensor on a Kenmore 795 be replaced by itself? Sears notes that the sensor isn't usually sold separately, so the repair is normally the ice maker assembly. ### Will a Kenmore 795 keep cooling with Er IS showing? Sears groups Er IS with the ice maker, not the cooling system. Keep an eye on the temperatures anyway. ### Could a loose plug in the door cause Er IS on a Kenmore French door? Sears lists wiring problems alongside a shorted sensor. The connections are checked before any ice maker is ordered. --- **[Read on the site: Kenmore 795 French door showing Er IS](https://icemakerrepair.center/error-codes/kenmore-er-is/)** **[Book a visit with IceMakerRepair.center](https://icemakerrepair.center/schedule/)**
