What size room will a 1.5 kW air conditioner cool?
A 1.5 kW air conditioner typically cools about 10 to 15 m² (roughly 110 to 160 sq ft) in average conditions. For the Kenmore Elite 58077107710, real coverage depends on heat load (sun, insulation, ceiling height) and airflow; confirm operating guidance in the 58077107710 owner's manual.
We use this practical rule-of-thumb for typical homes with standard ceilings:
- 1.0 kW: about 10 m²
- 1.5 kW: about 10 to 15 m²
- 2.0 kW: about 15 to 20 m²
- Add the area of connected open spaces (open plan rooms) to your total
| Cooling capacity | Typical room size (m²) | Typical room size (sq ft) |
|---|---|---|
| 1.0 kW | ~10 | ~110 |
| 1.5 kW | ~10 to 15 | ~110 to 160 |
| 2.0 kW | ~15 to 20 | ~160 to 215 |
These factors can push you toward the lower end (or require more capacity):
- Strong sun exposure (south or west facing windows)
- Poor insulation or lots of air leaks
- High ceilings or loft-style spaces
- Many occupants, cooking heat, or lots of electronics
- Restricted airflow (blocked front grille or dirty filter)
Before assuming the unit is undersized, we check common performance issues the manual calls out:
- Make sure curtains, blinds, or furniture are not blocking the front of the air conditioner
- Clean the air filter regularly (about every 2 weeks is a good baseline)
- Give the room time to pull down after a hot start
- If coils ice up, switch to High Fan or High Cool to restore airflow
Correct sizing helps the compressor cycle normally, improves comfort, and reduces icing and humidity complaints. An undersized unit runs constantly; an oversized unit can short-cycle and leave the room clammy.

How to reset a Kenmore AC unit?
To reset your Kenmore Elite room air conditioner model 58077107710, use the reset feature built into the power cord plug: press TEST to trip it, then press RESET to restore power. This clears a tripped cord safety device and can get the unit running again.
- Turn the air conditioner OFF at the control panel.
- Locate the TEST and RESET buttons on the plug head.
- Press TEST; the RESET button should pop out.
- Press RESET firmly.
- Turn the unit back ON and wait; the compressor may delay up to 3 minutes before starting.
If the RESET button pops back out or will not latch, stop using the air conditioner and have it checked by a qualified service technician. Also confirm you are plugged directly into a wall outlet (not an extension cord) and that the circuit is not overloaded.
- Plug the unit into a single, dedicated outlet.
- Avoid running other high-draw devices on the same circuit.
- Do not use an extension cord.
- Make sure the plug is fully seated in the outlet.
- Check the home breaker/fuse if the unit is completely dead.
| Reset method | What it affects | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Power cord TEST/RESET | Cord safety interrupter (power to the unit) | Unit will not start, cord device tripped |
| Waiting 3 minutes after OFF/ON | Compressor protection delay | Unit restarts but compressor does not immediately run |
A tripped cord interrupter can make the air conditioner look “dead” even when the outlet has power. Resetting the plug safely restores power and helps you confirm whether the issue is a simple trip or a deeper electrical problem.

What does CH-34 mean on a Kenmore Elite air conditioner?
On Kenmore Elite model 58077107710, CH-34 indicates a high-pressure (discharge pressure) protection condition. When the unit senses abnormally high discharge pressure, it protects the system by stopping the compressor until conditions return to normal; this prevents compressor damage.
High discharge pressure is typically caused by restricted airflow or heat not leaving the condenser section efficiently.
- Dirty or blocked outdoor (rear) condenser coil
- Airflow blocked behind the unit (too close to a wall, furniture, or curtains)
- Outdoor temperature is extremely high and the unit is working at maximum load
- Fan or airflow problem (fan not running at full speed, damaged blade, debris)
- Overcharge or sealed-system restriction (less common, usually requires a technician)
Start with the no-tools checks, then move to cleaning and airflow.
- Turn the unit OFF, unplug it, and wait 5 to 10 minutes
- Confirm the rear of the air conditioner has clear space for exhaust air
- Clean the air filter and check for lint or dust buildup on the coils
- Make sure the fan is running and air is exhausting strongly from the rear
- Restore power and test in Cool mode at a moderate set temperature
| What you see | What it points to | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| CH-34 returns quickly | Heat cannot leave the unit | Improve clearance, clean coils, verify fan operation |
| Cooling is weak and unit is loud | Airflow restriction or fan issue | Inspect fan area for debris; check blade condition |
| CH-34 happens only on very hot days | High load condition | Use a higher set temp, close blinds, reduce heat sources |
CH-34 is a protective shutdown. If the compressor keeps cycling off on high pressure, the air conditioner can stop cooling when you need it most and repeated overheating can shorten compressor life.
For control-panel indicators and care and cleaning steps for your Kenmore Elite 58077107710, use the 58077107710 owner's manual. If you see any “CH” code and it persists after airflow and cleaning checks, follow the manual guidance for service.
