# LG-built Kenmore dryer error code Ps

### Whose code this actually is

Kenmore did not write Ps, because Kenmore has never built an appliance. This one is LG’s, and it appears on the dryer that LG built and Sears sold under the Kenmore badge. Whirlpool, LG and Frigidaire all built dryers for this badge, and all three publish short two-character codes, so a lookup that skips the prefix is a coin toss dressed as an answer.

### What it means

LG's own label is POWER ERROR.

### Which Kenmore models can raise it

The Kenmore dryer whose model number begins 796 — the three digits before the period on the rating plate. Those digits are LG’s, which is why LG’s table is the one that applies to Ps and no other manufacturer’s does.

### What happens next

- Check the breaker — an electric dryer on one leg of supply tumbles and does not heat.
- This one is more often the house than the dryer.

### Where this usually goes

The job this most often becomes is [diagnostic visit](/services/diagnostic-visit/), and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. A Kenmore dryer in South Florida is almost always on a long horizontal duct carrying humid air, and that duct is behind more heat and airflow codes here than any component inside the machine. Photograph the display before you cut the power: a reset clears Ps, and on a Kenmore the characters plus three digits off the plate are most of the diagnosis.

### Where this meaning came from

LG’s own documentation: *LG Owner's Manual — WashTower WKEX200H*A / WKGX201H*A, P/No. MFL71485405*. Kenmore publishes none of its own, which is why every entry on this site names the manufacturer’s document instead.
