When I push start it beeps 3 times. Lights on the right work, lights on the far left don't light up.

I have a Kenmore Elite HE4 Smartheat Quietpak9 and it won't start. I dried one load and went to put another in and something flashed. Could it have been the bulb or is something else wrong? Panel still lights up but when I push start it beeps three times and nothing. What do I need to do? I also can't find my manual to clean the lint ducts. Please Help!!! I put in a load to dry and when I pushed start it beeped at me 3 times. All lights work except for the ones on the far left side.

Alright, pretty unconventional, but simple and Genius on my part!!! Not sure if we're talking about the same models, but I was cruising this site with the same problem.... K, so it's making three beeps right? Check inside the DRYER (maybe same issue w/ washer, I dunno), but there's a button on the top-inside.... DEPRESS THAT BUTTON, and while holding it down, START THE DRYER (HOLD TO START), if it starts working, this tip is for you!

1) on the opposite side, where the door depresses that same button on the dryer door... you ready for this... see step two ;)

2) SUPER GLUE A PENNY IN THAT INDENTATION PART, your problem is there's not enough connection, and the door is no longer holding that same button down...

3) TA DAH!! Since a repair guy could've charged ya like 50+ bucks, I'll take... emmm.. 25$, email me at [email protected] on where to send the check, or just shoot me an email to say thanks ;)

Kenmore Elite HE4 - Smartheat Quietpak9 ERROR CODE 4E

Buckeyw,

Huuum,at your service!

With an error code.
This can reset the system.
First unplug the washer and wait a 5 minutes then restart it.
It's like rebooting your computer when its acting strange!
Usually it corrects some error problems.
if they are not serious, or they are a temp glitch!




How old is the appliance?

If the appliance is 10 years old or more you it may not be advisable to put good money into bad!
New appliances are so much more efficient today that they can save you a lot of money in energy!!!!
Water,Electric and detergent! And put money back in your pocket!
The new appliance will pay for itself in only a few years!
