Hello Ameliafaith, E-Z job... If you take your model on line... to SEARS (I don't ordinarily recommend)... BECAUSE THEY COULD ACTUALLY ... decode your ABREVIATED part number... 110. blah blah blah... (45986??) The other sites actually have helpful VIDEOS... But I already wasted enough time on this floundering with your erroneous number (wrong no.)... You will see these parts are reasonably priced and very popular.. meaning they INDEED FAIL ... alot. Go here: Washer Door Lock Assembly Part Number 8181700 Sears PartsDirect Carnac the Magnificent

Hi, first things first. Your model and serial numbers should be on a sticker somewhere around the door opening. Next check the tub. With your finger,push up on the rim of the tub then rotate the tub a few inches and push up again. Continue through a whole rotation. If the tub moves and make a clicking noise you have a bad drum bearing and the cost to repair is more than the unit is worth. If that's not an issue,then it's probably just the shocks,replacing them should solve the problem. Hope that helps.

If I remember correctly you have to move the door boot seal out of the way by removing the wire ring underneath to get inside to the door switch there are two screws holding in the latch on the outside

I'm guessing the HOSE is the drain hose. The goop is causing the drain motor to overheat causing it to report error. (luckily or it'd burn out). Give it a empty load with nothing in it to see if it flushes it all out. Just water. See if it completes full cycle and check pump filter again to see if clean. TIP. Make sure you check ALL pockets before you wash clothes. ;)

I HAVE A KENMORE ELITE WASHER AND IT STOPS IN THEN MIDDLE OF THE CYCLE AND DOESN'T RISNSE. THE DISPLAYS SHOWS F21. CAN YOU LET ME KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS?

Remove the soap tray and clean the orifice.
