Error code LED 4 flickers
Appliance Refrigerator
Quick answer

Four LED flickers: the control senses the refrigerator door open for more than 1 hour, on Kenmore 111-prefix top-freezer refrigerators.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so LED 4 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

Control senses refrigerator door open for more than 1 hour.

Four flickers in brief

  • Series: Kenmore top-freezer refrigerators, model numbers starting 111
  • Where it shows: the LED on the main control board
  • Meaning: the control senses the refrigerator door open for more than 1 hour

Viewing the LED

The control board cover has to come off before the flickers can be counted. With it off, keep your hands away from everything inside the refrigerator, since the board is powered whenever the unit is plugged in. Unplug the refrigerator afterwards and put the cover back.

What comes next

No further owner steps are given for this count. If it returns, arrange service.

Codes with other counts

See LED 1 flicker (refrigerator temperature sensor), LED 2 flickers (ambient temperature sensor) and LED 6 flickers (defrost heater failure).
