What to do if my Kenmore 253.79081 Air Conditioner is not cooling and there's ice behind the front panel?
- A
  Anthony RichardAug 21, 2025
  If your Kenmore Air Conditioner isn't cooling the room and there's ice behind the front panel, it could be due to several reasons. 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. A dirty filter can also cause this issue, so open the front panel, remove the filter, rinse or vacuum it, replace it, and close the panel. Finally, the BTU size of the unit might be too large for the room; in this case, a lower capacity unit may be required.

What to do if water is dripping from my Kenmore 253.79081 inside the room?

  If water is dripping from your Kenmore Air Conditioner inside the room, it's likely that the unit isn't properly installed. Ensure the unit is mounted on a downward slope to the outside (1/2 bubble on a carpenter’s level) to provide proper drainage. Reposition or shim the cabinet as necessary, but do not drill the drain pan.

What to do if Kenmore 253.79081 keeps blowing fuses or tripping the circuit breaker?
- R
  Robert BrooksSep 1, 2025
  If your Kenmore Air Conditioner is blowing fuses or tripping the circuit breaker, replace the fuse with a time delay type or reset the circuit breaker. Avoid using too many electrical devices on the same circuit by unplugging or relocating some of them. If your unit is rated over 7.5 amps, plug it into a single circuit outlet. Avoid using an extension cord. If the unit was turned off and on too quickly, turn it off and wait 3 minutes before restarting.

Why does my Kenmore Air Conditioner turn on and off by itself?
- A
  Allison PinedaSep 5, 2025
  If your Kenmore Air Conditioner is turning on and off by itself, it might be due to a few reasons. If the outside temperature is extremely hot, set the fan speed at the fastest setting for maximum cooling. If the ENERGY SAVER feature is on, note that it doesn't circulate air continually; set the mode to COOL for constant air circulation. Also, check if the timer turned the unit ON or shut it OFF; push the ON/OFF Button to turn the unit ON or OFF.

Why does my Kenmore Air Conditioner run too much?
- S
  Sarah BrownSep 8, 2025
  If your Kenmore Air Conditioner runs too much, it could be because the Energy Saver mode is selected, which causes the inside blower to continue operating for one minute to use as much cooling as possible. Also, if your current unit replaced an older one, the newer, higher efficiency air conditioner may run longer to cool the room, but the total energy consumption is less. Finally, if the BTU size is too small, a higher capacity unit may be required.
