Our he3 washer just clicks when you hit the start button and the door doesn't lock after several clicks the screen flashes and the machine just beeps . Ive changed the door lock once and it's doing it again . Any ideas?

    This happens when I try to do repetitive loads of laundry. I unplug the machine and let it sit for 30 minutes, then it will start again. BUT I have ordered the part and will let you know how it goes.

    THANK YOU for sharing your technical knowledge with a single woman who doesn't like the Sears repairman (he's creepy and hits on me). I was able to fix my dryer thanks to people sharing their knowledge on the internet!

    My problem same as related post. After 7 tries, the door lock failure code comes on. Sometimes, I can bump the washer (I usually give it a sharp smack the right of the door lock with the flat of my hand) and it will begin working again. Sometimes it will run fine for months before showing the same problem again. Would a broken contact explain this behavior?

Its a bad contact at the ccu(main control board located at the top of the unit). just remove top panel by unscrewing the 3 screws in back of top panel. the ccu is located in back right in the center of unit. replace the ccu. what happens is the contacts from the ccu are welded inside, so they must of broken off by vibrations of time. replacing the door lock will not help. replace the ccu and you should be good to go.

Hit the power button until there is NO display . Unplug and wait a minimum of 30 seconds , plug back in and within 30 seconds hit SIGNAL button then DELAY START button then SIGNAL button again then DELAY START button again. door should lock and display t01 It is now in test mode . There are 14 different test it can run through in this mode , but all we are trying to do is check for error codes now and maybe get you back to normal, So turn the knob one click clockwise and hit the START/PAUSE button and see if any error codes come up. To exit the diagnostic mode - hit signal button then delay start button then signal button then delay start button and you are out of service test mode and back to normal. Post any error codes.

Machine will not start dL code flashes

The door lock is not telling the control board the door is locked. You probably have a bad door switch or the wires to the door switch are corroded or broken.It could simply be a wire has come loose. Those washer do vibrate quite a bit.

My Kenmore Elite front loader HE3 washer will not start.

The door lock is not telling the control the door is locked. Faulty door switch or failed control or loose wire.Try pushing in on the door while it tries to start. Advanced trouble shooting may be required.

When pressing the start button a "DL" indicator flashes and then a "F" indicator remains, door does not lock and the washer will not start.

that is the code for door lock. ensure its not stuck or something in rubber boot stopping door from closing all the way and try to reset it.
maybe by unplugging it for a coupkle of minutes
