MOST KENMORE MORE WASHERS THE LID SWITCH DOES BAD FROM CLOSING ALL THE TIME,YOU CAN REMOVE THE LIP SWITCH WIRES(2 OF THEM) WIRE THEM TOGETHER AND YOU HAVE BY PASSED THE SWITCH AND YOUR DONE,LET ME KNOW HOW YOU DO-MIKE
MOST KENMORE WASHERS HAVE A COUPLER BEWEEN THE MOTOR AND THE TRANSMISSION AND THEY BREAK ALOT,YOU CAN TIP IT OVER OR REMOVE THE FRONT PANEL AND SEE IF IT HAS BROKEN,LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU FIND-MIKE
most common cause is there is a sock or other small item in the inlet hose from the drum to the pump, restricing water flow and the normal time allowed in timer cycle is not enough
open the cabinet as described elsewhere, I am just too laxy to type it at the moment.
examine the short hose from the drum to the pump, and unblock it
Open the control panel and check the door switch, mostly it's loose. You should hear click sound when the door is close if the switch is in working condition. Otherwise bend the contact metal a bit until it makes contact. Hope this helps.
most likely cause
kenmore pressure sensors work off a tube that runs from the bottom of the drum to the sensor, either the tube has come off the sensor body inside the control panel
open control panel reattach tube, wrap wiretie or twisttie to keep in plpace
or less likely cause
kenmore level sensors fail
there is a spring inside that stretches over time and mis reads, it is adjustable
control panel is still open from previous check
remove level selector from control panel, usually an unlock latch on the right side, rotate 45deg counter clockwise withdraw.
there is a 1/8 inch bolt head, turn right raise water level, turl left lower water level
If you mean external hoses between tap and washing machine, and washing machine and waste drain to install the washer in place. Everywhere. even the local hardware store, those items are a standard size, thread, and diameter and fit all washers.
if you mean the click fit hose to a sink tap, with the waste water drain buldled in so the washer can remain portable
Sears has them as a to-order item and most parts stores will have a generic brand that will fit straight on, the screw fittings are standard.
most common leak point for washers is the level sensor connector on the lower part of the tank, a small plastic hose.
Not a solution, something to check
A common easy fix for this problem is making sure the screws on the hinges (right and left side of the lid) are tight. Loose screws will cause it not to properly srike the lid switch and the unit wont run since it thinks the lid is open. If they are tight, you will probably need to replace the lid switch itself.
sounds like a broken motor coupling( this machines equivelent to a belt. part number 285753a . mounts directly to the motor shaft and connects to the transmission, order a new one it installs between the motor and transmission,assy
Thats a simple one to replace. Unplug unit. Take a putty knife and release clips that secure console to top. They are located on each front corner of console. Raise lid. Unplug harness from switch. Take ground screw out that is part of switch assembly. Release plastic tab that holds switch in place and remove switch. Install and snap into place new switch with lid open. Put ground screw back in place and plug harness back into place. Lower lid and then raise and listen for clicking noise. Put console back in place. That’s it.
Question edited for clarity.
'then', a moment in time.
'than', a comparison between one thing and another.
It depends on the model, but usually related to the lid lock. Also check the breaker.
Why does my washer stop working after filling with water?
If the Top Load Washer stops after filling with water, be sure to check the house circuit breaker/fuse as well as the outlet and plug. Washers should be plugged into their own separate, dedicated outlet.
