Kenmore Dryer Error Code Call Service

The Call Service error means the dryer's control system has detected a fault that cannot be resolved through standard user troubleshooting steps. It is a general alert reserved for conditions requiring professional diagnosis. Kenmore recommends calling 1-800-4-MY-HOME (1-800-469-4663) to get assistance from a qualified technician.

It is not recommended to continue operating the dryer after this error appears. The code indicates an unresolved internal fault, and running the unit could worsen the underlying problem or, depending on the cause, pose a fire or electrical hazard. Stop using the dryer until a technician has assessed and cleared the fault.

Repair costs vary widely depending on the root cause identified by the technician, ranging from around $100 to $400 or more for parts and labor. A failed control board or motor will generally cost more to repair than a sensor or wiring issue. Getting a diagnosis first through Kenmore support will help clarify the likely repair scope and cost.

This error is specifically designated as one that requires professional service, meaning Kenmore does not provide a user-level fix for it. Attempting repairs without proper diagnostic equipment and technical knowledge could worsen the fault or create safety risks. Contacting Kenmore support is the appropriate starting point before attempting any self-repair.

A basic power reset is unlikely to permanently clear this error because the control board has flagged a condition it considers beyond a simple restart fix. The error may temporarily disappear but will typically return if the underlying cause is not addressed. Professional diagnosis is required to properly resolve the fault.
