How old is my Kenmore AC unit?
Your Kenmore Elite room air conditioner model 58077247710 is as old as the manufacture date tied to its serial number. We find the serial number on the identification plate (outside the cabinet or behind the filter at the bottom of the unit), then decode the date using the serial format shown in the 58077247710 use & care guide.
The identification plate is typically located in one of these spots:
- On the outside of the cabinet
- Behind the air filter at the bottom of the unit
- Behind the front grille (you may need a flashlight)
- After removing the cabinet front (as described in the cleaning section)
Many Kenmore room air conditioners use a serial number format where the first digits indicate the production year. Once you have the serial number, compare it to the date-coding guidance for your unit.
| Item | What it tells you | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Exact product version | 58077247710 |
| Serial number | Manufacture date code | Varies by unit |
| Purchase date | How long you’ve owned it | Your receipt |
Knowing the age helps us match the right room air conditioner parts and plan maintenance. For example, restricted airflow from a dirty filter can reduce cooling performance; replacing the room air conditioner air filter 5231A20027A is a common first step when the unit runs but does not cool well.
- Unplug the air conditioner before removing the front grille or filter
- Write down the full serial number exactly as shown

How to clean a Kenmore air conditioner filter?
For Kenmore Elite room air conditioner model 58077247710, we clean the air filter by turning the unit off, unplugging it, removing the filter from the air inlet grille, washing it in lukewarm water (below 104°F), letting excess water drip off, then reinstalling it. See the steps in the 58077247710 owner's manual.
- Turn the unit off and unplug it before cleaning.
- Open the air inlet grille: pull down on the grille using the finger depressions at the top on each side.
- Remove the filter: grab the fingertip tab at the top middle of the filter, pull the filter forward, then up.
- Wash the filter in lukewarm water (below 104°F/40°C).
- Shake off excess water (do not reinstall dripping wet).
- Reinstall the filter and close the grille.
- Do unplug the air conditioner before cleaning.
- Do handle the filter carefully; avoid touching sharp metal edges while removing it.
- Do clean the filter about every 2 weeks during heavy use.
- Don’t use harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners.
- Don’t let water run into electrical parts.
If the Filter Reset LED is on, we reset it after cleaning by using the control panel:
- Press TEMP + TEMP (both temperature arrows) together to turn off the Filter Reset light.
- Use the control panel, not the remote.
| Item | What to do | How often |
|---|---|---|
| Air filter | Wash with lukewarm water; reinstall | About every 2 weeks |
| Filter reminder light | Reset on control panel | When LED turns on (about 250 run-hours) |
Replace the filter if it is torn, won’t come clean, or no longer fits snugly. For this model, the correct replacement is the room air conditioner air filter 5231A20027A.
A clogged filter restricts airflow, reduces cooling capacity, and can contribute to frost or icing on the evaporator coil. Keeping the filter clean helps the unit cool better and run more efficiently.

How to reset Kenmore air conditioner?
To reset your Kenmore Elite room air conditioner model 58077247710, unplug the unit, wait about 1 minute, then restore power. If the power cord’s safety device tripped, press and hold the RESET button on the plug until it engages; then restart cooling.
- Turn the air conditioner OFF.
- Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
- Wait 60 seconds to clear the control.
- Plug the unit back in.
- If the cord’s interrupter tripped, press RESET on the plug.
- Turn the unit ON and select Cool mode.
If the RESET button pops back out or will not latch, stop using the air conditioner and have the power cord and outlet checked by a qualified technician. This points to an electrical fault that a simple reset will not fix.
Many room air conditioners, including this Kenmore Elite model, use a built-in compressor delay. If you turned the unit OFF and back ON quickly, the compressor can wait about 3 minutes before starting again.
| Symptom after reset | What it usually means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Fan runs, no cold air for a few minutes | Normal compressor delay | Wait 3 minutes |
| Unit will not start at all | No power or tripped cord device | Check outlet, press RESET |
| Starts then stops quickly | Airflow restriction or extreme heat load | Clean filter, use high fan |
Resetting clears a temporary control glitch and restores power after a trip, but it also helps you avoid repeated rapid cycling, which can stress the compressor and reduce cooling performance.
For control panel indicators, operating modes, and troubleshooting checks specific to model 58077247710, use the 58077247710 owner's manual.

What does CH-34 mean on a Kenmore Elite air conditioner?
On Kenmore Elite room air conditioner model 58077247710, a “CH” display is a service alert from the electronic control. CH-34 points to an abnormal operating condition; start with the common checks below to correct airflow, heat load, or power issues. For display messages and operating details, use the 58077247710 owner's manual.
On room air conditioners, CH-style alerts commonly appear when the control senses an abnormal condition and may shut the compressor off to protect the system. The most common triggers are airflow restriction, heat load, or an electrical/control issue.
- Turn the unit OFF, then unplug for 5 minutes to reset the electronic control.
- Clean the air filter and reinstall it fully; use the correct replacement such as the room air conditioner air filter 5231A20027A.
- Confirm the front intake grille and rear exhaust have clear airflow (no curtains, furniture, or debris).
- Make sure the unit is set to a Cool mode and the set temperature is lower than room temperature.
- If the unit is in a window, verify it tilts slightly downward to the outside for proper drainage (standing water can affect performance).
If CH-34 returns quickly after a reset and filter cleaning, the issue typically involves the control system, sensors, wiring, or the sealed refrigeration system. At that point, contact Sears PartsDirect support or have a qualified technician diagnose the unit.
| What you see | What it means for next steps |
|---|---|
| CH-34 appears immediately on startup | Check power, reset, then service if it returns |
| Unit runs, then CH-34 appears later | Focus on airflow, filter, heat load; service if unresolved |
| Fan runs but little cooling | Clean filter, clear airflow; service if CH returns |
CH alerts protect the compressor and electronics. Addressing airflow and installation basics prevents overheating, improves cooling, and reduces the chance of repeat shutdowns.

- Make sure the unit is set to Cool (or Fan) and the temperature is set below room temperature.
- Clean the air filter; restricted airflow can cause poor operation and rapid cycling.
- If you use smart features, confirm the unit is connected; the SMART icon LED turns on when connected.
A dirty filter restricts airflow and can make the air conditioner perform poorly or shut down to protect itself. For this model, replacing the filter with the correct part restores airflow and helps prevent icing.
Recommended part: Room air conditioner air filter 5231A20027A
| Symptom | Likely cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Runs but barely cools | Airflow restricted | Clean or replace filter; clear front intake |
| Turns on and off rapidly | Dirty filter or extreme heat | Clean filter; set fan speed higher |
| Weak airflow | Blocked intake or dirty filter | Remove blockage; replace filter |
If the display is dead and the unit will not start after confirming outlet power:
- Inspect the power cord for cuts, burn marks, or a loose plug.
- Unplug the unit and reseat any accessible wiring connectors (only if you can do so safely).
- If you have a multimeter, test for power into the control area and check continuity of suspect wiring.
