  1. One day the "Lock On" LED on our Kenmore Dishwasher is lit, and the dishwasher won't start. I find: I follow the suggestions, remembering that I'd done something like this, successfully, once before. Then I remember the key step. You have to disconnect the controller-to-front panel ribbon cable, THEN close-up the cover and inner door, FINALLY Close The Door! You won't see anything happening, no LED, and the buttons don't work. All disconnected. BUT, if you then open it all up and reconnect the ribbon cable, then close it up again, in 2 out of 2 cases, the "Lock On" LED will be out and the dishwasher will start and run! Its not just disconnecting the power cables from the controller board, opening the circuit breaker to the dishwasher, or disconnecting the ribbon cable from controller to panel. You must disconnect the ribbon cable, then close the door so the controller powers up without the panel connected, power down, reconnect and power up again. Just like you were troubleshooting whether it was the controller or the front panel. Its BOTH, but if you disconnect them, it will clear.

  3. My washing machine was fine two weeks ago. Then a big thunderstorm hit, and it immediately stopped draining. The wash and agitate and fill and rinse cycles still worked just fine, and there were no strange mechanical noises...it just quietly stops when the drain cycle activates... so I figured it was probably an electrical problem. - Changing the temperature, spin speed, load size switches had no effect. - Trying other cycles (such as "permanent press") had no effect. - Opening/closing the lid had no effect. (Neither did holding the lid switch lever down with a screwdriver while the lid was open.) I pulled out the timer and tested it for continuity with a multimeter based off the wiring diagram. Sure enough, I found an error. First, I made sure to remove the timer right when it was stopped on the faulty drain cycle. Then, I tested every connection on the timer terminals. Every connection was correct, except one: According to the wiring diagram, the tan-blue circuit was supposed to be ON during the "drain hi" cycle, but the multimeter found that it was OFF. So, naively, I replaced the timer. Same issue with the new timer: no draining, and no continuity on the tan-blue circuit. Now I'm wondering: What switch do I test next? I'm not sure how to read the wiring diagram. (Or maybe a wire is bad?) Thanks!

Maybe because of bad board, I don't know, can anyone give me a manual where is written how set that in the force defrost mode.

  10. I have a 110 volt Kenmore 110.88670100 dryer that recently started working badly. When I would push the button after turning the timer there would be a loud sound of an electrical current but the tumbler would not engage. If the button was pushed heavily eventually no electrical sound. After awhile the button would go back to loud electrical sound and the tumbler not engaging. When taking the top off the sound seems to generate from the circuit board and timer assembly. I have replaced the plug in, the band that goes around the tumbler, and the push to start switch. Whenever I had the top off I would push in the start switch and see a light flash in its assembly. When pushing in the start knob I push the button a little to the right and it does turn on. I have ordered a new push to start switch and a board and timer assembly. Does anyone have any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  15. I have a Kenmore 596.69282011 bottom mount freezer where the freezer stays frozen, but the upper fridge section (about every week or so for a couple of days) warms up to about 15C (60F) for a day or two at a time. When this happens I can hear the fan running inside (and it is blowing nice cold air into the bottom freezer section) but I don't feel any cool air coming into the top centre rear of the fridge section. When it starts working again a few days later - I can once again feel cool air coming into the top fridge section. - could this be a damper issue not letting cool air from below into the fridge section? - or could this be a sign of the control board starting to fail as it doesn't happen all the time and is not consistent for how often and how long it fails for?

  19. Good morning Master. I seek wisdom for the Kenmore Elite HE3 front load washer model 11045872401 serial number CSS4613098. I am forever grateful. Jeff Mohler
  20. its a kenmore HE not sure how old not high tech though it all started with my washer constantly draining as soon as its turned on before it even starts to fill. I check the drain pump thinking maybe its bad or obstructed by something. There is nothing in the lines or the pump. I assume the pump is bad but turns out that it is not. I start delving into the issue more maybe its part of it being stuck on sensing so I figure out that there is a booklet that lets you run diagnostic tests and I put it in the automatic test mode thinking if something is wrong itll stop on whatever the issue is. It goes through every step without an issue and drains completely. I turn it back on and this is also after ive calibrated it since i replaced the pump and see if it will run a cycle after the successful test and the sensing light comes on and instead of filling it automatically starts draining and it sounds like someone sucking the straw of a empty drink just like before. Ive also checked water pressure and the screens in the hoses. so since every part of the test ran well, hot water ran + cold water ran so that works and it ran through all the cycles including draining it couldnt be anything with the drain lines or pump i assume it could be the control board. I get access to the control board and unplug everything and take a nice look at it (i checked and everything was connected securely) and the whole board is pretty. nothing visible wrong with it. at this point im clueless and everytime i try to google it the only thing i see is "washer drains and fills at same time" and its maddening because mine doesnt even fill first. also not sure if it matters buts no matter what settings i put it in it goes into sensing and automatically starts draining. no water comes into the washer at all.
  21. Hello all! I really need to get my Kenmore 80 Series washing machine going again! A few weeks ago, it started making noise during the drain and spin cycles. I was advised to replace the basket drive and clutch assemblies. So, I ordered those parts. In the meantime, the symptoms changed: The noise turned into a grinding banging sound during the spin cycle The washer skipped the neutral drain step and instead did a drain/spin at the same time (there were no problems during agitation) The new grinding and banging was so bad, I stopped the cycle before it completed. When they arrived, I installed the basket drive and clutch assembly. However, the behavior was the same -- grinding and banging when the drain/spin cycle started. Research pointed to the transmission and the need for a neutral drain kit which I purchased and installed. I was super-disappointed to find the behavior is exactly the same! It's acting like it wants to spin, but also agitate at the same time (see attached video). So, my question is: Where do I go from here? Is it possible to identify the parts inside the transmission that need to be replaced? Or, is a new one the only way to go? I like the machine and would rather use it than a new (HE) machine. So far, I've spent around $275 in parts (along with many hours in research and labor). So, I don't want that to go to waste. But, my confidence is shot at this point and I don't want to just keep throwing money at this thing either. I'd really appreciate any guidance I can get. I'm happy to provide any information that could help you point me in the right direction. Thanks! KenmoreWasher.mp4
