Kenmore Range Error Code 76

Error code 76 on a Kenmore induction range indicates a communication error in the Induction Housing Assembly affecting the right side cooking zones. The control system has detected that the ESEC-UIB and the Large Filter Circuit Board are not communicating properly through their shared wiring harness. The right side burners will typically be disabled until the fault is resolved.

The right side cooking zones will typically be disabled when error 76 is active, so using them is not possible in most cases. The left side zones may continue to function, but it is advisable to resolve the error before relying on the range for regular cooking. Operating appliances with active communication faults in the control system is not recommended, as the root cause could worsen over time.

Repair costs vary depending on the root cause. If only the harness connectors need reseating, a service call fee in the range of $75 to $150 may cover the visit. If a replacement communication harness is needed, parts and labor could bring the total to $150 to $300. A Large Filter Circuit Board replacement is typically the most expensive scenario, with parts and labor potentially ranging from $250 to $500 or more depending on parts availability and local labor rates.

Some DIYers comfortable with appliance repair can attempt to inspect and reseat the communication harness connectors at the ESEC-UIB P9 port and the Large Filter Circuit Board connectors X20 and X14, which may resolve the error if the cause is simply a loose connection. However, accessing these components requires disassembling part of the range, and if the fault lies with a damaged harness or a failed circuit board, replacement parts and additional technical skill are needed. If you are not confident working around high-voltage induction electronics, a qualified technician is the safer choice.

A power reset by unplugging the range or cycling the circuit breaker for several minutes may temporarily clear the error code if the fault was caused by a transient signal issue. However, if the underlying cause is a loose connector, damaged harness, or failed circuit board, the code will return once the range powers back up and attempts communication again. A reset alone is not a repair.
