Error code 15
Appliance Cooktop

When the screen says 15

The right front element Up key is the faulty part. Look at your model number first: the list covers Kenmore induction cooktops that begin with 790.

Three steps in the manual

  1. Cut power to the cooktop.
  2. Test the wiring harness cables and their connections.
  3. Replace the right-side touch control board only if that test comes back clean.

Step two and step three belong to a technician.

  • Code 16: On/Off key for the same element
  • Code 11: Up key on the right rear element
