My kenmore 90 series washer machine is overflowing. i dont know why the water control button seems to not be working. what should i do?

Most Kenmore washers are made by Whirlpool. If yours is this page will help http://www.appliance-repair-it.com/Whirlpool-washer-disassembly.html

Note that I cannot know without the full model number but follow that page and if it doesn't seem right your washer may not be Whirlpool made.

This problem is commonly attributed to either a water inlet valve that doesn't shut off, or a pressure switch malfunction. The following links explain how to diagnose the problem and repair as necessary:

If the washer is not overflowing, the likely problem is the water inlet valve. If the washer fills to the point where it overflows, the easiest and most common cause of this problem is the small plastic air hose on the pressure switch coming loose. It can usually be fixed by simply reattaching the hose. However, read through all the information provided and double check everything to make sure.

all front loaders do is save alittle water,motor and pumps aree almost the same,kenmore makes the 300,400,500,600,series know and they will last forever,and if you do need a replacement part they are dirt cheap,because all parts are universal-mike

no i dont think so see if its pluged somewhere

sounds like a bad water valve. Try disconnecting for a few minutes. If problem continues, the solenoid on the water valve is staying open which means the circuit is not opening. Replace valve.

I had the same problem with a 90 series and there is a small hose connected to the water level knob that had slipped off.

check your lid switch...bad lid swich...

it will switch from hot to cold and back and forth trying to regulate the temp. You probrbly have more pressure in your cold water line than your hot or vise versa. This will cause it to seem to pulse. Dave www.washermd.com

if the water was overflowing from the top of the tub it sounds like the pressure hose came loose. tilt the control panel back and you will prob see the hose that connects to the left side (where you adjust the water level) has come loose. cut about 1/4 inch off of it and re-connect it.

Aside from complete disassembly & cleaning it, try a hot wash on full with nothing in it except a bunch of bleach.
