How to fix a Kenmore 253.76250 Air Conditioner that will not turn on?
- A
  Angela WarrenAug 13, 2025
  If your Kenmore Air Conditioner isn't turning on, here's what to check: * Ensure the power cord is firmly plugged into a working wall outlet. * Check for a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker and replace or reset it. * Make sure the unit is turned ON using the ON/OFF button. * Verify the temperature setting is lower than the current room temperature. * If you recently turned the unit off and on, wait 3 minutes due to a built-in compressor delay. * Confirm the timer hasn't turned the unit off, and if so, turn it back on. * If the touch pad and remote are unresponsive, unplug the unit for 10 seconds to reset the controls. * If the power cord has tripped, press the RESET button on the plug head.

Why does my Kenmore 253.76250 Air Conditioner keep turning on and off?
- D
  David ValentineAug 21, 2025
  If your Kenmore Air Conditioner is turning on and off by itself, here are a few things to check: * If the outside temperature is extremely hot, set the fan speed to the fastest setting for maximum cooling. * If the ENERGY SAVER feature is on, switch to COOL mode for constant air circulation, as ENERGY SAVER does not circulate air continually. * Check if the timer is set to turn the unit on or off and adjust accordingly, or push the ON/OFF Button to turn unit ON or OFF.

Why is my Kenmore 253.76250 Air Conditioner running constantly?
- D
  Derrick LoganAug 26, 2025
  If your Kenmore Air Conditioner is running too much, here's what could be happening: * If Energy Saver mode is enabled, the blower continues operating for one minute to maximize cooling. * Newer, more efficient units may run longer to cool the room, but consume less energy overall. * If the BTU size is too small for the room, a higher capacity unit may be needed.

  If your Kenmore Air Conditioner is not cooling the room and there is ice behind the front panel, consider the following: * If the outside temperature is below 60°F, set the mode to FAN ONLY and the fan speed to the fastest setting to defrost the coil. * Clean or replace a dirty filter. * If the BTU size is too large for the room, a lower capacity unit may be required.

  If your Kenmore Air Conditioner keeps blowing fuses or tripping the circuit breaker, here’s what you can do: * Replace the fuse with a time delay type or reset the circuit breaker. * Unplug or relocate other electrical devices on the same circuit. * Ensure the unit is plugged into a dedicated single circuit outlet if it's rated over 7.5 amps. * Avoid using an extension cord with the unit. * If the unit was recently turned off and on, wait 3 minutes before restarting it.

  mcdonaldtimothySep 5, 2025
  If the remote is not working with your Kenmore Air Conditioner, try these steps: * Ensure the batteries are installed correctly. * If the red light doesn't flash when buttons are pressed, verify the batteries are correctly installed or install a new set. * Make sure the remote is pointed directly at the unit, as it may not work at extreme angles.

Why is my Kenmore Air Conditioner dripping water inside?
- A
  Abigail TapiaSep 8, 2025
  If water is dripping from your Kenmore Air Conditioner inside the room, it might not be properly installed. The unit should be mounted on a 1/4" downward slope to the outside to ensure proper drainage. Reposition or shim the cabinet as needed, but do not drill the drain pan.
