Error code LED 2 flickers
Appliance Refrigerator
Quick answer

Two LED flickers on the control board point to the ambient (RT) temperature sensor on Kenmore 111-prefix top-freezer refrigerators.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so LED 2 flickers may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Plain language

What this code means

Ambient temperature sensor failure.

Two flickers: what it is

An ambient temperature sensor failure is what two flickers of the main control board LED stand for. This applies to Kenmore top-freezer refrigerators with 111-prefix model numbers. The manual also calls the part the RT-sensor.

Where the sensor is

It attaches to the top of the refrigerator.

Manual checks

  • Disconnect power first by unplugging the refrigerator.
  • Look at the sensor wiring going to the control board and repair any broken wires.
  • A technician measures resistance through the sensor circuit and replaces the sensor when it is outside the manual’s range.

Safety when counting

Viewing the LED means removing the control board cover. Keep your hands out of the refrigerator while it is off, because the board is connected to power when plugged in. Reinstall the cover after counting.
