Kenmore Induction Cooktop E5 Error Code — Input Voltage Fault

Kenmore Cooktop

Medium Severity
Warning: If your Kenmore appliance displays the E5 error code and you are unsure how to proceed, turn off the appliance and contact a qualified technician. Some errors require professional repair to avoid further damage or safety risks.

The E5 error code on a Kenmore induction cooktop indicates the supply voltage is outside the acceptable operating range. The cooktop requires a stable voltage supply to operate safely.

Causes

  • Low supply voltage (voltage sag during high-demand periods)
  • Loose or corroded wiring connection at the junction box
  • Undersized electrical circuit for the cooktop

What To Do

  1. Check that the cooktop is on its own dedicated 240V circuit of the correct amperage (typically 40–50A for induction).
  2. Have an electrician inspect the wiring connections at the junction box.
  3. If voltage is confirmed correct, the cooktop’s internal voltage sensing circuit may be faulty.
