Kenmore Range Repair (Model 665.95154300) – Canton, OH

A Canton homeowner called about their Kenmore range’s broiler not working properly. After testing the broil element and control circuits, we found everything functioned normally — the issue was simply unfamiliarity with correct broiler operation and rack positioning.

The Problem

The customer reported that their Kenmore model 665.95154300’s broiler wouldn’t heat food properly. They had been attempting to broil on lower racks with inconsistent results, assuming the broil element was defective.

Diagnosis

Visual inspection revealed no damage to the broil element or wiring harness. Continuity testing showed the broil element resistance within normal specifications. Control board output to the broil relay tested correctly, and both broil and bake cycles produced proper heat. The root cause was incorrect rack placement and unfamiliarity with broil mode operation — not a component failure.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: None required
• Work performed: Demonstrated correct broil settings, proper rack positioning, and optimal preheating time
• Result: Broiler operates as designed with homeowner now confident in proper usage

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Kenmore 665.95154300 is a solid mid-range unit that typically provides years of reliable service when operated correctly. Since no actual repair was needed, the range should continue performing well with proper maintenance and usage techniques.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Ranges

• Preheat broiler for 5-10 minutes before cooking — Kenmore broil elements need adequate warm-up time for even heating
• Use the top rack position for broiling — this model’s broil element is designed for food placed 3-4 inches below
• Clean the broiler pan regularly and avoid aluminum foil liners that can block proper airflow around the element
