Error code Er rt
Appliance Refrigerator
Quick answer

Er rt flags a room temperature sensor error on Kenmore and Kenmore Elite 795 bottom-freezer refrigerators (sensor short or wiring problem).

Model compatibility

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