Kenmore Elite 45986 Front Load Washer

Error code for kenmore elite he2 plus (by 8 users)

posted by precise65 on Sep 05, 2007


Please help, I have only had my new washer 9 days and already having an issue with my machine, it will not start after pushing the start button, it will only display a F 01 error code, and after reading the manuel, the trouble shooting section explains a possible fix but, that is not working and I am very upset that I now have to wait three days for a technician to come out to look at the problem and hopefully fix it..... I am very happy with the way it washes the clothes however I am not happy that I am already having problems after 9 days of use! Any info is appreciated!

Did anyone else find a solution besides returning the washer and buying a new one? I am also having error code F 01. I have had this washer since Dec. 2006 and recently moved. It worked fine for the first 3 loads in our new home, but now it stopped working. I don't know what to do and the manuel doesn't give many options.

We are experiencing the same problem with the F-01 error.  The wash had 2 min to go, I pressed the stop button to put the clothes into the dryer before we headed out, and then received the code when I went to start the next load.  
We can't complete the directions for trouble shooting specified in the user manual as it states to "press the stop button twice", but the machine shuts right off after the first time we hit it.  We've tried turning it off, unplugging it, setting it for different cycles.. nothing works. Every time we hit the start button we get the error code.

Washer won't start. F-01 code flashing. This is a new Kenmore HE2 front load clothes washer. What can be done to fix this?

We have the same error code flashing & it almost impossible to get any help.
It almost sound like it would be an easy fix if we could get the codes.

My Kenmore HE2Plus will not start. I do not get an error message but when I press and hold down the button it just does not start. We have tried pressing on the door, as if it has a bad connection, moving the clothes and spinning the drum, turning it off then on again, but there is no reason why it finally does start after pressing the button a few times. I am afraid one of these times it just will not start at all. Help

I suggest that you take it back.  I just bought an HE2 plus and have been getting F 20 error codes. I had a repair man come and look at it and he said it was something with the control/mother board. I received a new one after they could not fix the problem on the old one and it is still giving the F 20 errors!  Kenmore stinks! Take your washer back to the store and get a different brand!
