On an electric stove a bake or broil element that has burned through is the everyday reason; on a gas stove the oven igniter and the valve it opens are looked at first. The wiring and the relay on the board are checked before the board itself is blamed. ### Usually leads to Stove oven heating repair The oven part of a stove that stays cold, heats slowly or bakes too hot or too cool, fixed at the bake and broil elements, the oven igniter, the gas valve or the temperature sensor. ### Shows up as Oven on My Stove Runs Hot or Cold Recipes take much longer or much less time than they should, cakes burn on the outside and stay raw inside, or an oven thermometer disagrees with the display by more than a little. ### 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 switch the breaker off if you can do it safely. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Is E5 on my Kenmore dangerous? It means the oven got far hotter than it should. Stop using it until it is checked. ### Can a dirty oven cause E5 on my Kenmore? Grease can smoke and flare in a very hot oven, but the code is about the temperature itself. Have the controls checked. ### Can I reset E5 and keep baking? The guide gives a reset, but an overheat is worth a check before the oven is used again. --- **[Read on the site: Kenmore stove showing E5 | StoveRepair.center](https://stoverepair.center/error-codes/kenmore-e5/)** **[Book a visit with StoveRepair.center](https://stoverepair.center/schedule/)**
