  Jesus HensonAug 15, 2025
  Several factors can impact the cooling performance of your Kenmore air conditioner. Check that curtains, blinds, or furniture aren't blocking the front of the unit. Ensure the temperature control is correctly set by pressing the Decrease (v) button in COOL mode. Clean the air filter every 2 weeks. Allow the room to cool down after turning on the air conditioner. Also, check for open furnace floor registers and cold air returns, and inspect for iced-up cooling coils.

  If your Kenmore air conditioner isn't starting, ensure it's fully plugged into the outlet. Check the power cord for a tripped current interrupter device and press the RESET button. If it won't stay engaged, stop using the unit and contact a qualified technician. Inspect your house fuse/circuit breaker box, replacing the fuse or resetting the breaker if needed. Make sure the temperature setting is lower than the room temperature. Note that a built-in delay prevents the compressor from restarting for 3 minutes if the unit was recently turned off and on.

Why does water collect in the base pan of my Kenmore Air Conditioner?
- A
  Anthony CarneyAug 25, 2025
  Water collecting in the base pan of your Kenmore air conditioner is normal. It happens when moisture is removed from the air and drains into the pan. This occurs briefly in low-humidity areas and for longer periods in very humid areas.

Why does my Kenmore 580.77157710 Air Conditioner keep blowing fuses or tripping the circuit breaker?
- D
  devin77Aug 28, 2025
  Your Kenmore air conditioner might be blowing fuses or tripping the circuit breaker due to several reasons. Too many electrical devices might be on the same circuit, so unplug or relocate some. If your unit is rated over 7.5 Amps, ensure it's plugged into a single circuit outlet. Avoid using an extension cord. Also, turning the unit OFF and ON too quickly can cause this issue; wait 3 minutes before restarting.

  wrightrobertAug 31, 2025
  If your Kenmore air conditioner is freezing up, the cooling coils are likely iced over. This ice can block airflow, hindering the unit's ability to cool the room effectively. To resolve this, set the mode control to High Fan or High Cool to melt the ice.

  If the remote isn't working with your Kenmore air conditioner, first, ensure you're within 20 feet and a 120° radius of the unit's front. Remove any obstructions blocking the path between the remote and the sensor. Check the battery installation, ensuring correct polarity. Finally, reposition the unit or use an object to shield the sensor from direct sunlight.

Why does my Kenmore 580.77157710 turn on and off rapidly?
- A
  Austin SmithSep 7, 2025
  Your Kenmore air conditioner might be turning on and off rapidly due to a couple of reasons. If the outside temperature is extremely high, set the fan speed to the fastest setting for maximum cooling. Also, a dirty air filter can restrict airflow, so cleaning the air filter may resolve the issue.

What causes noise when Kenmore Air Conditioner is cooling?
- D
  Dennis ArmstrongSep 12, 2025
  Noise during cooling with your Kenmore air conditioner can stem from a couple of sources. If the window is vibrating due to improper installation, refer to the installation instructions or consult with the installer. Alternatively, the noise may simply be the normal sound of air movement. If it's too loud, try setting the fan to a lower speed.
