Appliance Cooktop

When 23 shows up, the Warm (Keep Warm) key is the item reported as defective. It is a code for Kenmore induction cooktops with a 790 model prefix.

Resolution in three parts

  1. Power comes off first.
  2. The wire harness gets a cable-and-connection test.
  3. Both earlier checks fine? Then a new center touch control board goes in.
