My Kenmore Elite front loader has no power.

If you have a Kenmore Elite front loader model 42198900 and the door light stays on while the machine has no power to the controls, there are a few potential causes you can investigate:

1. Check the power supply: Make sure the washing machine is properly plugged into an electrical outlet and that the outlet is functioning properly. If the outlet is not working, check the circuit breaker or fuse box to see if a circuit has tripped or blown.
2. Inspect the door lock: The door lock mechanism may be malfunctioning, preventing the machine from turning on. Check to see if the door is closing properly and if the lock is engaging properly. If the lock is faulty, it may need to be replaced.
3. Check the control board: The control board is responsible for sending power to the various components of the washing machine. If the control board is malfunctioning, it can cause issues like a door light staying on but no power to the controls. Check the control board for any signs of damage or wear, and consider having it tested or replaced if necessary.
4. Look for other potential issues: If the above steps do not identify the problem, there may be other issues with the machine that are causing the problem. Consider contacting a professional appliance repair service for further diagnosis and repair.

You may have a short in that circuit or a bad breaker.

I believe it means motor control unit failure. Make sure nothing is plugged into same circuit unplug unit for 10 min. and try again . If it still does not work you will need a tech

if located in upper floor laundry room,you may need to compensate a weak floor by putting an absorption pad under all four legs of the washer...if the dryer next to the washer vibrates when washer is spinning,the floor is the problem,not the washer

Was the place where it was the original laundry room. If so outlet was probably a dedicated line not hook to any other outlets. Now you moved and plugged into outlet that is not dedicated other items are probably being used on same circuit or breaker is to small, should be 20amp.

1. No power to the washer
Make sure there's power getting to the washer. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or a blown fuse. Check the wall socket for power. Sometimes the power cord disconnects at the washer, if this is the case, the wiring must be repaired or replaced.

2. Lid switch
The washing machine may not function if the lid switch is defective. The switch is usually located near the door. Replace if found defective.

If all the above checks out OK, replace the touch pad.

Hard Reset - In some cases the control can be non-functioning or may not accept activation from the control panel. To clear and restart the control follow the these steps:

* Unplug or turn the circuit breaker off for 30 seconds.
* Reconnect the unit to the power source by turning the breaker back on or plugging the unit back into the wall outlet.
* Press the Pause/Cancel/Stop button twice to clear the "PF" in the display.
* Start a short cycle to check the operation of the machine by selecting a cycle and pressing and holding the start button until the machine starts.

no but there is a control bd it is probably gone

if the machines are both on the same outlet i would attempt to run them on seperate outlets first to see if it improves. as time lapses breakers or gfi's can weaken and a continous amp draw esp. in the spin and the ignition stage at the same time which are the largest amp draw from either machine at any give time could be causing the issue. if this does not work you need a tech to look at it
