Press and hold the control lock button down until the light goes off. This is a child proof feature that may have come on if you leaned against it to long. After lock light goes off you can use the machine.

We have a Kenmore Elite front loader and yesterday while washing a load of laundry, the lights flickered and then the machine turned off. I checked all the breakers, unplugged and replugged and nothing...

There is a pull tab at the bottom of the door latch assembly that can be used as a manual release for the door by pulling it down.
Lean the washer backwards and unscrew the 3 screws under the bottom edge on the front of the washer to remove the lower panel under the door. Once the panel is removed, reach the tab with your hand up inside the washer behind the front casing on the right side and pull it down. The door will open.
If there is an error prior to the jamming of the door, the door latch assembly must be replaced. Feel free to let me know if that is the case.

I have a Kenmore 'Elite' front loading washer that stinks

Have you been leaving the door cracked open after washing a load? If not, mildew will form and smell. If you have, then it would be something else. Respond with any questions.

Kenmore Elite HE3 washer lights light but wash won't start

Sometimes I just have to unplug the machine, wait a few seconds and plug it back in and it works. I guess it resets itself or something.
