What are the spare parts of AC?
For the Kenmore Elite 25377150610 room air conditioner, common “spare parts” are the serviceable components that wear out, get dirty, or fail over time, such as filters, fan components, and electrical start parts. For model-specific diagrams and part identification, use the 25377150610 owner's manual and the Sears PartsDirect model search.
Common spare parts you may need
These are the most frequently replaced or serviced items on a room air conditioner like Kenmore Elite 25377150610:
- Air filter (cleaned often; replaced if damaged)
- Fan motor and blower wheel (airflow problems, noise)
- Run capacitor or start capacitor (won’t start, hums, weak fan)
- Control board or selector switch (won’t respond, erratic operation)
- Thermistor or thermostat (poor temperature control)
- Power cord and plug (intermittent power, visible damage)
- Drain pan and drain passages (water leaks, musty odor)
How to identify the right part for your AC
Because room air conditioners can have multiple versions within the same model family, we recommend matching by model number and the exact part reference from the diagrams.
- Confirm the model number on the rating label: 25377150610
- Use the exploded-view diagrams to locate the part by section (controls, fan, cabinet)
- Match the part description to the symptom (for example, “hums but won’t start” often points to a capacitor)
- Compare wiring connections and mounting style before ordering
- Use the troubleshooting and maintenance steps in the 25377150610 owner's manual
Quick symptom-to-part guide
| Symptom | Most likely parts to check | What to do first |
|---|---|---|
| Unit won’t turn on | Power cord, controls, control board | Verify outlet power and reset settings |
| Hums but won’t start | Capacitor, fan motor | Unplug and inspect for bulging capacitor |
| Weak airflow | Air filter, blower wheel, fan motor | Clean filter and check for blocked intake |
| Water leaking indoors | Drain passages, drain pan | Level the unit and clear drain path |
Why it matters
Keeping a few common AC spare parts in mind helps you diagnose faster, restore cooling sooner, and avoid replacing the entire unit when a single component (like a capacitor or filter) is the real issue.

How to clean filter on Kenmore air conditioner?
To clean the filter on your Kenmore Elite room air conditioner model 25377150610, remove the air filter, wash or vacuum off the dust, rinse if needed, and let it dry completely before reinstalling it. A clean filter restores airflow and helps the unit cool efficiently.
Quick steps (safe and effective)
- Turn the air conditioner OFF and unplug it.
- Open the front grille or filter access panel (filter is typically behind the front intake).
- Slide the filter out carefully so dust does not fall into the evaporator area.
- Clean the filter:
- Vacuum first to remove loose lint and dust.
- Rinse with warm water if it is heavily soiled.
- Use a small amount of mild dish soap only if needed; rinse thoroughly.
- Let the filter air-dry completely (do not reinstall damp).
- Reinstall the filter, close the panel, then restore power.
How often should we clean it?
Most room air conditioners like the Kenmore 25377150610 do best with filter cleaning on this schedule:
| Usage pattern | Recommended cleaning frequency |
|---|---|
| Daily cooling season use | Every 2 weeks |
| Moderate use | Monthly |
| Dusty home, pets, smoking, construction nearby | Weekly to every 2 weeks |
When cleaning is not enough (replace the filter)
Replace the filter if you notice any of these after cleaning:
- Tears, holes, or a warped frame
- Filter media separating from the frame
- Persistent musty odor that returns quickly
- Airflow still feels weak with a clean filter and clear vents
Why it matters
A clogged air filter restricts airflow across the evaporator coil. That can reduce cooling performance, increase energy use, and contribute to icing or water leaks inside the room.
Helpful references for your model
- Use the owner's manual for the exact filter location and removal method for model 25377150610.
- If you need to look up the correct replacement filter or other maintenance parts by model number, start with the parts list for 25377150610 and search on Sears PartsDirect.

Why is my Kenmore air conditioner not working?
If your Kenmore Elite room air conditioner model 25377150610 is not working at all (no lights, no fan, no cooling), the most common causes are a power supply problem, a tripped protection device (GFCI/reset), a failed control, or a safety condition such as poor airflow. Use the checks below, then confirm model-specific steps in the owner's manual.
Quick checks first (no tools)
- Make sure the unit is firmly plugged in and the outlet has power (test the outlet with a lamp).
- If your plug has TEST/RESET buttons, press RESET.
- Check your home breaker or fuse for the room the AC is on; reset once if tripped.
- Set Mode = Cool and lower the set temperature at least 5°F below room temperature.
- Clean the air filter and clear the front grille; restricted airflow can stop cooling and trigger protection.
Electrical and control causes (common on room ACs)
Unplug the unit before opening any panels. If the AC is completely dead, focus on the power path first.
- Power cord/plug module: A failed resettable plug can prevent any operation.
- Internal fuse or thermal protector: Some models use internal protection that opens if overheating occurs.
- Control board or selector switch: If power is present but nothing responds, the control can fail.
- Thermostat/temperature sensor: A bad sensor can prevent the compressor from starting even if the fan runs.
What you can test with a meter
If you are comfortable using a multimeter, these checks narrow the problem quickly:
| Symptom | Most likely area to check | What it usually means |
|---|---|---|
| No display, no fan | Outlet, plug reset, power cord | No power getting into the unit |
| Fan runs, no cooling | Capacitor, compressor circuit, sensor | Compressor not starting |
| Runs briefly then stops | Dirty filter, blocked airflow, overheating | Protection device opening |
Use our guides: how to tell if a fuse is blown and how to use a multimeter to test electrical parts video.
Why it matters
A room air conditioner that will not run is usually a simple power interruption or airflow issue; fixing that first prevents unnecessary parts replacement and helps protect the compressor and control board from repeat failures.

How to reset a Kenmore AC unit?
To reset your Kenmore Elite room air conditioner model 25377150610, do a basic power reset: turn the unit off, unplug it, wait a few minutes, then plug it back in and restart. This clears common control glitches and restores normal operation.
Reset steps for model 25377150610
- Press OFF on the control panel or remote.
- Unplug the air conditioner from the wall outlet.
- Wait 3 minutes.
- Plug the unit back in directly to a wall outlet.
- Press ON and select Cool mode.
- Set the temperature and fan speed.
If your plug has TEST and RESET buttons
Some room air conditioners use a safety plug with TEST and RESET buttons (GFCI or LCDI style). If your cord plug has these buttons, you can reset power at the plug:
- Press RESET once.
- If needed, press TEST (power should cut), then press RESET to restore power.
- If RESET will not stay engaged, keep the unit unplugged and correct the outlet or cord issue before using it.
What a reset helps (and what it does not)
| Issue | Reset usually helps | Next step if it continues |
|---|---|---|
| Display or buttons not responding | Yes | Power supply check, control troubleshooting |
| Unit runs but does not cool well | Sometimes | Clean filter, check airflow and coils |
| Unit will not turn on | Sometimes | Check outlet, breaker, plug connection |
Why it matters
A power reset fully reboots the electronic control so it can recover from a temporary lockup after a power interruption, surge, or long run cycle.

What does CH-34 mean on a Kenmore Elite air conditioner?
On Kenmore Elite room air conditioner model 25377150610, CH-34 means the control is sensing an abnormally high sealed-system (discharge) pressure condition and will shut the compressor off to protect it. This is most often triggered by poor heat removal from the outdoor side.
What to check first (safe, common fixes)
- Clean and reinstall the air filter (let it dry fully)
- Make sure the rear/outdoor coil is not packed with lint or debris; clean gently
- Confirm the outdoor exhaust side has clearance (not boxed in by curtains, furniture, or a tight enclosure)
- Verify the unit is installed correctly and seated properly per the installation guide
- Run the unit on Cool with a low set temperature after cleaning
Quick reset steps
- Turn the unit off and unplug it for 5 minutes.
- Restore power and run Fan for a few minutes, then switch to Cool.
- If CH-34 returns quickly, stop running the unit to prevent repeated compressor protection trips.
If CH-34 keeps coming back
After airflow and installation are correct, CH-34 typically points to a condition that needs service, such as a weak fan motor, a sensor/wiring issue, or a sealed-system restriction.
| What you find | What it suggests | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Filter/coil dirty | Heat cannot escape; pressure rises | Clean and retest |
| Outdoor side blocked in | Hot air recirculates | Improve clearance |
| Everything clean and open | Component or sealed-system issue | Schedule service |
Why it matters
High-pressure protection prevents compressor damage; fixing airflow and installation issues restores normal cooling and efficiency.
