The breaker, the cord and the outlet are ruled out before a board is replaced. A stove that sparks, smells of hot wiring or keeps heating while this code shows is switched off at the breaker first. ### Usually leads to Control board and display repair Stoves with a blank or flashing display, touch keys that do not answer, codes that keep returning or a stove that will not turn on, traced to the board, the keypad or the power to them. ### Shows up as Oven on My Stove Won't Heat Up The burners on top work, but the oven underneath stays cold, heats only a little, or never reaches the temperature you set. ### Make Kenmore Kenmore began as the house label of Sears, and every stove sold under it came out of another company's factory. ### Source Kenmore electric stove use & care guide, model 95163 (4.8 cu. ft.)

Turn the oven off and let it cool. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why is my Kenmore silent after baking and showing E17? The cooling fan may not be running, or its speed is not being read. ### Can I keep baking with E17? The fan protects the electronics, so it is best to wait. ### Is E17 on a Kenmore the same as E13? No. E13 is a separate code for the main control board running too hot while the oven works. --- **[Read on the site: Kenmore stove showing E17 | StoveRepair.center](https://stoverepair.center/error-codes/kenmore-e17/)** **[Book a visit with StoveRepair.center](https://stoverepair.center/schedule/)**
