How many cubic feet is a Kenmore Elite refrigerator?
Cubic feet is a refrigerator capacity spec, not a room air conditioner spec; the Kenmore Elite model 58077157710 is a 15,000 BTU smart room air conditioner, so it does not have a cubic-foot capacity rating. For the correct capacity spec for this model, use the BTU rating and operating details in the 58077157710 use and care guide.
What to use instead of cubic feet (for this model)
For a room air conditioner like Kenmore Elite 58077157710, these are the specs that matter most:
- BTU rating (cooling capacity): 15,000 BTU
- Room size coverage (varies by insulation, sun exposure, ceiling height)
- Electrical requirements (plug type, circuit capacity)
- Airflow and filter condition (dirty filters reduce cooling)
- Installation angle and drainage (affects water dripping and base pan water)
Quick comparison: refrigerator vs. room air conditioner specs
| Appliance type | “Capacity” is measured in | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| Refrigerator | Cubic feet | Interior storage volume |
| Room air conditioner | BTU | Cooling output per hour |
Why it matters
If you shop or troubleshoot using the wrong “capacity” unit, you can end up with an air conditioner that short-cycles, runs constantly, or struggles in heat and humidity. For 58077157710, matching BTU to the room and keeping airflow clear delivers the best comfort and efficiency.
Helpful maintenance tip that improves cooling
A clogged filter is one of the most common reasons a room air conditioner underperforms. If your filter is damaged or won’t clean up well, replace it with the correct part for this model, such as the room air conditioner air filter 5231A20027A.

| Sends signals between assemblies | Wire harness (EAD63989001 / EAD63989002) | Burnt connector, broken wire, intermittent power |
| Controls the unit from across the room | Remote control (AKB73795706) | Buttons fail, display dead, settings won’t change |
Why it matters
A clogged filter, damaged louvers, or failing fan and control components can reduce cooling, increase noise, and strain the compressor. Keeping key service parts in good shape helps the air conditioner cool efficiently and run more reliably.
Quick checks before ordering parts
- Clean the filter and confirm the inlet grille is not blocked.
- Verify the remote has a fresh battery and the unit responds to the control panel.
- If the plug has TEST/RESET buttons, test it when the unit is off (per the manual).
- Listen for the fan running; weak airflow often points to filter or fan issues.
- Match parts by model 58077157710 to avoid fit and wiring differences.

What does CH-34 mean on a Kenmore Elite air conditioner?
On the Kenmore Elite room air conditioner model 58077157710, CH-34 indicates a high-pressure (high discharge pressure) condition. To protect the sealed system, the unit keeps the compressor turned off until the condition clears.
What to do first (safe, quick checks)
- Turn the unit OFF, then unplug it for 5 minutes and restart.
- Make sure the front air filter is clean; restricted airflow can raise pressures.
- Confirm the rear of the unit has good airflow (condenser side not blocked by a wall, screen, or debris).
- Set to Cool and a lower temperature; verify the fan is running on High.
- If the display shows any “CH” code repeatedly, follow the guidance in the 58077157710 owner's manual.
Common causes of CH-34 on room air conditioners
CH-34 is typically triggered when the system cannot reject heat properly, which drives discharge pressure up.
| Likely cause | What you may notice | What helps |
|---|---|---|
| Dirty filter or airflow restriction | Weak airflow, icing, poor cooling | Clean/replace filter, clear vents |
| Dirty condenser coil (outdoor side) | Hot air blowing out, trips or shuts down | Clean coil carefully, improve clearance |
| Fan problem (condenser airflow) | Loud noise, fan not spinning, overheating | Inspect fan operation, repair as needed |
| Installation/clearance issue | Works briefly then stops | Improve airflow around unit |
Parts that often relate to airflow problems
If your filter is damaged or will not clean up well, replacing it restores airflow and helps prevent pressure-related shutdowns.
Why it matters
High discharge pressure is a compressor-protection event. Addressing airflow and heat rejection issues quickly helps the Kenmore Elite 58077157710 cool normally and reduces repeated shutdowns that can shorten component life.

Why is my Kenmore AC remote not working?
On Kenmore Elite room air conditioner model 58077157710, the remote usually stops working because the AAA battery is weak, installed with the wrong polarity, the remote is out of range, or bright light or an obstruction is interfering with the infrared sensor. Use the troubleshooting notes in the 58077157710 owner's manual.
Quick checks that fix most remote problems
- Install one new AAA 1.5 V battery (avoid rechargeable batteries).
- Reinstall the battery and confirm polarity (+ and -) is correct.
- Stand within 20 feet of the front of the unit and aim within about a 120° radius.
- Remove obstacles between the remote and the AC infrared sensor (curtains, furniture, etc.).
- Reduce direct sunlight or bright lamp light hitting the sensor (cast shade over the sensor).
- Use the unit control panel to confirm the air conditioner responds normally.
Step-by-step troubleshooting
- Remove the battery for 60 seconds.
- Install one new AAA battery with correct polarity.
- Move closer (about 3 to 6 feet) and aim directly at the sensor.
- Close blinds or turn off nearby bright lights, then test again.
When to replace the remote
If the air conditioner works from the control panel but the remote still will not operate after the checks above, replace the remote control: room air conditioner remote control AKB73795706 (part number AKB73016017).
| Symptom | Most likely cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| No response at any distance | Battery or polarity issue | Install a new AAA; verify + and - |
| Works up close only | Out of range | Use within 20 feet; aim at sensor |
| Works at night, not daytime | Direct light on sensor | Shade the sensor; reduce sunlight |
| Intermittent response | Obstruction or weak battery | Clear path; replace battery |
Why it matters
A blocked or “washed out” infrared signal makes the AC seem unresponsive even when the unit is operating normally. Fixing battery, range, line-of-sight, and sensor lighting restores normal temperature and mode control.

Why is my Kenmore air conditioner not blowing cold air?
If your Kenmore Elite room air conditioner model 58077157710 runs but is not blowing cold air, the most common causes are restricted airflow (dirty filter or blocked front), incorrect COOL settings, or ice on the evaporator coils. Start with the filter and airflow checks, then address icing.
Quick checks that fix most “not cold” complaints
- Confirm the unit is in COOL mode and set the temperature lower.
- Set fan speed to High for maximum cooling.
- Make sure curtains, blinds, or furniture are not blocking the front grille.
- Clean or replace the room air conditioner air filter 5231A20027A.
- If the unit was just turned off, wait 3 minutes before restarting.
If the coils are icing up (cold air gets weak)
Ice can block airflow and make the air feel less cold even though the compressor is running.
What to do:
- Switch to High Fan (or High Cool) to help melt ice and restore airflow.
- Keep the filter clean; restricted airflow is a top cause of icing.
Troubleshooting guide (symptom to likely cause)
| Symptom | Most likely cause | What we recommend |
|---|---|---|
| Airflow is weak | Dirty filter or blocked intake | Clean/replace filter; clear obstructions |
| Air is cool briefly, then warmer | Coils icing over | Run High Fan to defrost; clean filter |
| Unit cycles on and off rapidly | Very high outdoor heat load | Use fastest fan setting for max cooling |
| Cooling seems slow after startup | Room was very hot | Allow time for the room to cool down |
Why it matters
A clean air filter and clear airflow let the evaporator absorb heat properly. When airflow is restricted, cooling performance drops and the evaporator can freeze, which further reduces cold air output.
For model-specific operating steps and care intervals (including filter access and cleaning), follow the 58077157710 use and care guide.
