20 Most Recent Kenmore 44102 Front Load Washer - Page 5 Questions & Answers

Likely the cause is grease from a failing rear bearing.

Unfortunately, it's cheaper to buy a new washer than to fix this one. That's pathetic for a washer that's only 8 years old, and completely negates any environmental and economic benefits of buying a front loader.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France @ 167:37 Sat afternoon!

 

You need to check the socket it is plugged into first. Try another device- maybe a kettle- to see if there is power. If not then a trip/fuse has gone on your main supply panel.

If there is power at the socket the fuse in the plug (if there is a fuse) needs checking and ,if necessary, replacing.

Come back to me on email [email protected] if neither of the above solutions identify the fault.

their is also a motor that controls water flow to these dispensors

Removing the boot will require that the front panel, door switch and console be removed.
To remove the front panel first remove the three screws securing the toe panel to the front of the washer and lift the toe panel up slightly pulling it forward.
Next remove the two screws securing the top front panel to the washer. The front panel can now be removed.

That could be something clogging the pump filter.

Because you said it wont drain it sounds like you have a blockage. Find the pump and there should be a filter or trap that is probally clogged up. If you dont see the clog at the filter try the pump and the disposal hose. Either one of those could be clogged. Let me know what you find out. Hope it helps.

Find the button on your panel with a 'key' symbol. Press & hold this down till the lock light goes off. Or

Hold down the 'options' & 'select' buttons together till the lock light goes off. Or
Press and hold down "end of cycle"
Pl. rate & tell me what did it - it is important.

Sorry to read about your problem, I hope this helps you out.

Their is a series of springs/rods, that can be defective, causing your washer to be off balance, and maybe a failure of the balance sensors. It takes a experienced technician to work on balance issues.

Mine is a GE and when it was doing what yours is, I took the front panel off just under the door and found a filter I didn't know was there. It was full of junk and when I emptied it out the washer worked like new.

The solenoid valve is stuck open. It has either failed or has something it it holding it open.

Try making it open and close a few times along with a little gently tapping where the hose hooks on the back of the machine (tap on the hose connector itself, you want to jar the piece the water is going into). You can make it open by turning the selector to "fill" and close it by turning the selector to "off".

While you're behind the machine take the hoses off and check the little screens in the water inlets on the machine, it you're working on it already you might as well clean the screens.

Check your water pressure at the sourse. Strong water pressure will cause banging noises from relay valves open and close. Good luck and thanks for your question and I hope my suggestions help. burdfrenzy
