Washing machine shuts off before cycle is finished now it will not last one min. on before it shuts off...what to do?

This could be anything from a faulty water valve , machine not draining , faulty electronic board , faulty timer unit ...For the machine to continue it must complete its last cycle . Any fault codes showing ?, was it filling , was it draining properly ??, please contact your registered whiteware technician for proper fault diagnosys , cheers .

check pump

have you cleared the filter

I'm not saying you don't have a problem. But just to be clear. You do understand that the last minutes on these machines can vary. The machine senses certain conditions in clothing, water discharge, etc. So sometimes the "1 min left" indication can stretch into many minutes. In theory, at least, it's possible your machine just needs to be left alone until it finishes whatever it's doing. However, one would think that any issues not resolved in 10 - 20 min are an indication of a problem. So i guess that's my next question, did you wait long enough? Keep in mind i am not a kenmore expert.

HI HAVE YOUR PUMP FILTER CHECKED IF OK CHECK HEATING ELEMENT ..SEE IF ITS IN CIRCUIT.. THATS WHAT NORM HAPPENS IF THESE ARE NOT HAPPY.BET OF LUCK.

Try turning off the cold water valve, unscrewing the cold fill hose, remove inlet screen, clean screen, reassemble and turn water back on.
