I have a Kenmore Elite HE 3t front-load washer. All cycles stopped working and it gave code F 11 and started a perpetual beeping sound. Also, the door is locked and will not open. HELP, please!
I have an Elite HE 4T. It consistently stops with a few minutes remaining and flashes F11. I stop the cycle, cancel then push start again and it seems to go, but it does it again for the next load. Also, I ran an empty load with vinegar to clean everything out but nothing changed. What is wrong with my washer?I have an Elite HE 4T.

I'm having the exact problem with my HE 4t washer. Right in the middle of a cycle it will stop and start beeping. There are times that I can pause it & press start and the cycle will resume. But then there are times, like today, where it's giving me a really hard time. I think it's time to call for a service tech. This is getting very annoying.

I, too, am seeing the F 11 code. NOTHING seems to be working, and am unable to locate my Owner's Manual. Would rather not call Sears, as they are not a lot of help anyway. LAST time we'll buy from Sears!!I, too, am seeing the F 11 code. NOTHING seems to be working, and am unable to locate my Owner's Manual.

Our HE4t Kenmore Elite Washer has also begun to stop during a wash cycle and flash the F11 code. It is about 3 1/2 years old. I checked the manual and it says codes F4 to F16 signify an electrical problem. The manual says to select Pause/Cancel twice to cancel the cycle. Then Select Drain & Spin if there is excessive water in the washer. I have done this and within a minute or 2 of restarting I get the F11 code again. The only way I have been able to finish my wash cycle is to press Pause/Cancel until the crazy beeping stops, unplug washer and plug it back in. I push start and it is usually fine until the next load when I have to go through the whole headache again. We will be calling for service on this one.

Clean Out your Water pump filter if that is not dirty replace the water pump. f02 is Code for LD Long Drain something is clogging your water drain in the washer or your kids rock or pen got stuck and chewed up the blades on the water pump
wash another load and see what happens the f-dl code means door lock problem and f-11 means communication error between top control board and the bottom control board if you can wash a load completly everything will be ok but you can't let me know and we see where to go from there
F07 - Motor Control Unit (MCU) Error - Disconnect power and unplug unit. Check wire harness connections between drive motor and Motor Control Unit (MCU), and between MCU and the Central Control Unit (CCU). Reconnect power and plug unit in. Check the MCU by looking for operations of the drive motor, and check drive motor for powered rotations. Replace failed component.
Note: If this failure occurs during high-speed spin, the door will be unlocked after three minutes.

F2 = Long Drain. Most common cause is something (or lots of things) stuck in the drain pump. There are screws at the bottom of the front panel that can be removed to check it out. If the screws look like stars they are Torx head screws, get driver from most home centers.
I have the HE 3t and an error code of f flashes at the 9 minute mark. Can any one help with this problem? When I contacted customer service that told me to unplug the machine and plug it back in. This did not solve the problem. Any suggestions?? Thanks, Paula
Just in case there is a pull string with a loop, all plastic under the latch, need to pull the toe panel off and reach up inside the right, unplugged of course until you feel the switch. a pull latch is below the switch incase this happens and hats off to all star/ a serial error or a faulty switch is most of what causes this to start.
F32 is the code for a Water Level Switch Failure. 1. Remove the top panel from the washer by removing the
three screws in the top back of the washer. 2. Inside the back right
corner is a round plastic box, fastened to the side with a plastic snap. In will have a wire connector and a small, rubber hose connected to it. 3. Check to make sure all the connector wires are
connected and tight. Unplug washer for 30 seconds to reset it. If the cycle fails
still with the F32 code, you'll need to replace the Water Level Switch. 4. If
the Water Level Switch does not eliminate the F32 code, it then the machine controller may have failed.
