To clean your Kenmore Elite SM 9711174 washing machine, you can follow these steps: 1. Clean the exterior of the machine: Wipe down the exterior of the washing machine with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Be sure to dry it thoroughly to prevent any water damage. 2. Clean the drum: Mix a solution of 1/4 cup of baking soda and 1/4 cup of water and pour it into the detergent dispenser. Run the machine on the hottest and longest cycle with an extra rinse. This will help to remove any built-up detergent residue or mildew from the drum. 3. Clean the detergent dispenser: Remove the detergent dispenser and soak it in warm, soapy water for 10-15 minutes. Use a soft-bristled brush to scrub away any buildup or debris, and rinse it thoroughly before replacing it. 4. Clean the lint filter: The lint filter is located near the bottom of the machine. Remove it and rinse it under running water to remove any lint or debris. If the filter is particularly dirty, soak it in warm, soapy water for a few minutes before rinsing it. 5. Run a cleaning cycle: Some washing machines have a self-cleaning cycle that you can use to help remove any buildup or mildew. Check the user manual for instructions on how to run a cleaning cycle on your specific machine.
By following these steps, you should be able to clean your Kenmore Elite SM 9711174 washing machine and keep it running smoothly.
If the detergent cup on your Kenmore Elite 665.13443K901 dishwasher is not opening, there could be a few different reasons. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the problem:
Check the detergent cup: Make sure that the detergent cup is not jammed or clogged with detergent.
Check the detergent dispenser: Make sure that the detergent dispenser is not clogged or malfunctioning.
Check the control board: Make sure that the control board is not malfunctioning.
Check the timer: Make sure that the timer is set correctly and that it is not stuck in a continuous loop.
Check the door switch: Make sure that the door switch is not stuck in the closed position.
Check the wash impeller: Make sure that the wash impeller is not clogged or malfunctioning.
Contact Kenmore customer support: If you have tried all the above steps and the dishwasher is still not working, it may be best to contact Kenmore customer support for further assistance. They will be able to diagnose and fix the issue or tell you if a repair is needed.
If you happened to take the rack out, check it. It may be turned around. Sometimes when that happens the rack won't allow the dispenser door to fully open.
4 step check
1. make sure the in coming watter is hot. solet the faucet run until this is so.
2.add or completely fill rinse aid .open and close door 3times then fill somemore that will take the air out of dispenser andallow you to completely fill dispenser.
4. add correct dishwashing soap
once you did all of that your problem should be gone. let me know if i have been of some help.
Unfortunately there is no easy way to completely get the detergent out of the rinse aid reservoir in one quick method, short of taking the inside panel off the door.
However, I would try a simple way to flush it out. With the door open almost al the way open, pour warm/hot water into the rinse aid fill hole and keep pouring until you start to get clear water coming out. The water will be flowing back out the fill hole you're pouring the water into and should just flow down the door panel into the dishwasher tub. Try to keep the door about 10-15 degrees up from all the way open to let the water get in the rinse aid reservoir.
Just pour the water in slowing so you don't agitate the mixture and you should be able to get it running clear in 5-10 minutes. It could take a gallon or so of warm/hot water to accomplish this, but it will flush it.
When you'r done, just put the dishwasher into a rinse cycle to pump out the water and soap, etc. You may have to run a full cycle afterwards to get rid of any excess detergent in the tub.
