Kenmore Cooktop 52 Error Code

A 52 means the temperature sensor for the left rear element has failed.

Step by step

1. The cooktop is disconnected from power.
2. A technician reads the resistance of the element sensor with a volt/ohm meter. Normal at room temperature is roughly 1000 ohms.
3. A reading that shows a defective sensor leads to a new surface element, since the sensor is part of the element.
4. A normal reading leads to the power generator control board instead.
