Kenmore Top load washer 11022242510 Will not agitate or spin.

There could be several possible causes for your Kenmore top load washer not agitating or spinning. The actuator is one possibility, but it's not the only one. Here are some other potential causes to consider: Lid switch: The lid switch is a safety feature that prevents the washer from agitating or spinning when the lid is open. If the switch is faulty, it may prevent the washer from agitating or spinning even when the lid is closed. You can test the switch by using a multimeter to check for continuity when the lid is closed. Drive belt: The drive belt connects the motor to the transmission, which turns the agitator and drum. If the belt is broken or worn, the washer won't agitate or spin. Check the belt for signs of damage or wear, and replace it if necessary. Motor coupler: The motor coupler connects the motor to the transmission. If the coupler is broken or worn, the washer won't agitate or spin. You can check the coupler by removing the motor and transmission and inspecting the coupler for damage. Transmission: If the transmission is faulty, it may prevent the washer from agitating or spinning. This is a more serious issue that may require a professional repair. Based on the symptoms you described, the issue could be with the actuator, but it's hard to say for sure without further testing. The actuator controls the shifting of the transmission from agitate to spin, so if it's not working properly, it could prevent the washer from agitating or spinning. You can test the actuator using a multimeter to check for continuity. If you're not comfortable diagnosing or repairing your washer yourself, it's best to contact a professional appliance repair service to diagnose and fix the issue.

Kenmore Elite smartheat QuietPak 4: Dryer door frequently comes unlatched, multiple times, at beginning of a dry cycle. Is there an adjustment that will catch the door clasp stronger?

Yes, there are a few things you can check and adjust to ensure the door latch on your Kenmore Elite SmartHeat QuietPak 4 dryer is working properly:
  1. Check the door catch and strike plate: Make sure the door catch is properly aligned with the strike plate, which is the metal piece on the dryer frame that the door latch engages with. If they are not aligned, adjust the catch or strike plate until they are in proper alignment.
  2. Inspect the door latch: Check the door latch for any damage or wear. If the latch is damaged or worn, it may not catch properly. If the latch is damaged, it may need to be replaced.
  3. Check the door hinge: Make sure the door hinge is tight and secure. If the hinge is loose, the door may not close properly, causing the latch to disengage.
  4. Adjust the door catch tension: There may be an adjustment on the door catch to increase the tension. Check your dryer's user manual for instructions on how to adjust the tension on the door catch.
  5. Clean the door latch and strike plate: Over time, lint and debris can accumulate on the door latch and strike plate, preventing the latch from catching properly. Use a soft brush or cloth to clean the latch and strike plate.
If these steps do not solve the issue, it may be best to contact a professional appliance repair service for further assistance.

Kenmore Elite 790.99913804 gives an E0 39 error when trying to use the cooktop.

The E0 39 error on a Kenmore Elite 790.99913804 cooktop indicates a communication error between the user interface board and the power supply control board. This error can occur due to a faulty connection or damaged wiring between the two boards. If replacing both the user interface board and power supply control boards did not resolve the issue, it is possible that there is a problem with the wiring harness or another component in the cooktop. It may be necessary to consult a professional technician to diagnose and repair the issue. In addition, it is recommended to check the user manual for troubleshooting steps specific to this model of cooktop. The manual may provide additional information on how to resolve this error code.

I have a more 1787180 Kenmore model and want a freemotion foot

The Kenmore 158.1787180 uses a low shank sewing machine foot. See some of the parts here: https://www.sewingpartsonline.com/kenmore-158-1787180-sewing-machine-parts.aspx?index=1 . As long as you get the correct shank height, most presser feet are universal. You can also get the snap-on feet and an appropriate shank to snap-on foot universal adapter. (Some button-hole feet need to plug into the sewing machine, for example.) It can be hard to measure the shank on presser feet. You need the distance from the bottom of the foot to the bottom of the screw opening. See https://www.anniescatalog.com/pages/which_foot.html . I've found calipers are better then most tape measures for this. (If you measure to the absolute center of the screw, then you add 1/4".) I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

How do you light your pilot light on an kenmore oven

To light the pilot light on a Kenmore Maxitrol oven, please follow these steps:
  1. Locate the pilot light assembly. It's usually at the bottom of the oven, behind a small metal cover.
  2. Turn the oven control knob to the "off" position.
  3. Remove the metal cover by pulling it out or lifting it up, depending on the model.
  4. Locate the pilot light and the pilot light valve. The valve is usually a small red button located near the pilot light.
  5. Press and hold the pilot light valve in for a few seconds while you use a long match or lighter to light the pilot light.
  6. Once the pilot light is lit, continue holding the pilot light valve in for another 30 seconds.
  7. Release the pilot light valve and make sure the pilot light stays lit. If it doesn't, repeat the process.
  8. Replace the metal cover and turn the oven control knob to the desired temperature setting.
Note: If you're having trouble lighting the pilot light or keeping it lit, it may be best

Does a Kenmore Stackable Init have a reset for the washing machine?

To reset the electronic controls on your washer, shut off the circuit breaker or fuse to the washer or unplug the washer for 2 minutes. For models that have a timer control knob, turn the knob around and back to any position other than final spin for the interrupted cycle. Then, restore power.
