I have a Kenmore hood micro model 401.80093700 that started to act up a few weeks ago. The "baked potatoe" and fan no longer worked. Then other choices soon followed in the same manner. Then it started to beep and the digitial display shows 5E. This is just over a year old.
Make: KenmoreModel: XXX.XXXXXXX Already Tried: It won't allow you to make any choices just beeps and shows 5E on the display so I unplugged it. It started about a week ago just not doing certain automatic buttons eg baked potatoe etc then the fan did not operate.
Is the time settings working okay on the unit? ONly the automatic ones that are failing on you?
WARNING, if you use the OPT OUT button on the tool bar, this will bar me from answering back to you. once pressed I cannot answer anymore of your questions...Use this button with caution...
Nothing is working now just the message 5E
When you unplug it and then plug it back in, does it seem to work for a couple of seconds or just the 5E comes up immediately?
I tried to unplug and plug back in and the only thing that happens is the 5E
You are going to need to replace the control panel,t his is part number DE94-01648J, you can order this part from http://www.apwagner.com/ or http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/index.action?sid=PSHx20080114x00001
can this be easily installed by me or my son ( I am a Sr citizen and somewhat handy)
You only need to remove the grill that should only have 2 screws holding it in, then there is one screw holding the cotrol panel on, should not take more than 15 minutes to replace the item. just carefully remove each plug from the old one and install it on the new one...
