Top 20 Kenmore HE2 Plus 3.6 cu. ft. Super Capacity Front Load Washer - Page 4 Questions & Answers

Usually if you cut the power at the wall, it will release the Lock solenoid.

A fuse could be blown or a circuit breakers has tripped. The delay start button or the control lock feature has been turned on.

The washer's F20 code indicates that it hasn't filled to the expected level in the usual ~8 minutes. Does any water actually enter the washer? If it doesn't, then the inlet valves are not opening. If you get a trickle of water, then the valves may be clogged. In both cases, replacing the inlet valve solves the problem. (For a slow fill, sometimes using household vinegar can break up the calcium carbonate. This is usually a temporary solution.) If the water enters the tub and then the pump starts draining the unit, adjust the drain hose. You need the end of the drain hose higher than the water level in the tub. If water is pouring into the tub and it fills normally, then the system that detects water flow is damaged. This involves a pressure switch that has an air hose connected to part of the sensor. Check if this hose is damaged or clogged. Blow out the clog and see if that fixes the problem. Otherwise replace the pressure switch. I can't find a 110.47081 parts diagram. Check your washer for the model number. There are probably three additional digits to the model suffix. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

First try resetting it..Since Kenmore washers have capacitors and other components which hold the charge for some time, it is recommended to keep your washer disconnected for at least 5-10 minutes, so the residual charge is drained. After waiting at least 5 minutes, power up your Kenmore washing machine again. Conclusion When your Kenmore washing machine displays a phantom error code or some other issue, resetting it is the best way of action. Hopefully, after following the instructions mentioned above, you'd be able to reset your Kenmore washing machine. If that doesn't help you may have a broken or disconnected suppension rod..https://www.repairclinic.com/ProductDetail/1416243?symptoms=38

garage may be too hot for unit. check the temp operating limit for your unit.

I find no mention of a lint filter in the Manual. Ck here... https://c.searspartsdirect.com/pd-content/is/content/Sears/L0705087

On average, washing machines use 19 gallons of water per load, and the average household runs between 5 and 6 loads per week. Based on those figures, most washers use up to 5,605 gallons of water annually. Front-load washers use an average of 12.5 gallons of water per load, while top-load washers average 19.6 gallons per load. Older top-load models manufactured decades ago use 40 or more gallons of water per load.

I would check with meter the water pressure switch and or the water inlet valve. Washer fills with water and overflows: The water pressure level switch is a pressure activated switch that is used to determine the correct water level in the tub. This part is normally located behind the control panel and will have a hose or air dome tube that connects it to the tub. On washers that use an electronic control, this switch may be located at the sump area below the tub. As the water fills in the tub it will compress the air in the tube and push against a diaphragm inside the switch. The switch will control the water inlet valve and turn the valve off at the correct water level. If the tube has a leak, not enough pressure may be created to activate the switch and the washer may overfill. If the switch is defective it may also cause the machine to overfill. To determine if the switch is bad, you should first eliminate the air dome hose as a problem. Look for signs of cracks or worn areas on the hose. Remove the hose and submerge in water. Seal one end and blow air into the other end and look for bubbles. Check for an obstruction in the hose as well. If the air dome hose appears to be ok, then the water level switch may be defective. You can test it with a meter and with a manual test? ( first locate it in the panel, it has a plastic clear tube hose going into it, remove that tube from its connection, now put another small tube or hose into the slot where it was and have the machine set to wash cycle with water in it. Blow into the other end of the tube. If the machine starts to wash. the pressure switch is more than likely good ( No wash- then THE DIAPHRAGM IS BAD AND SWITCH HAS TO BE REPLACED). Another test u can make with a multi meter is by testing the prongs individually. # 15,16,17 (don't worry to much bout the numbers IF U GET THEM WRONG) place ur meter prongs on both out side prongs or connectors of the switch. (where the wire plugs into) take note of wether it shows OHMS or infinity ( open or close circuit) ? Now place the meter on the left outside and the middle prong, take note agin what it shows. Now place meter prong on the right outside and the middle prong. Agin take note what reading u get. ( you should actually get a reading of infinity in 1 and a reading of continuity or ohms in the other 2? Now the tricky part. Agin place a small tube or hose into the switch and blow into it, using the meter do the same test agin on all prongs. But now keep the pressure on the switch when u blow into it, in other words use ur tongue on one end of tube to not allow air to escape. When u test it agin now one of the prongs that once read infinity should now show continuity or ohms, and 1 of the other prongs that read ohms should now read infinity or open. The other item to check would be your water inlet valve. Check it for continuity with a multi meter it should show Ohms or a closed circuit. Also check for hard water and debris build up in the screens located on the inlet valve To test it when water is overflowing unplug the unit and see if it still overflows or continues to fill. If it stops when unplugged. Then it is not a water inlet problem but an electrical signal problem going to ur water inlet valve. Possibly from the panel or board. You can also do a live volt test to see if it is getting the full 120 current, but be sure to unplug unit before testing as this is a live test. Also another trick to check the water valve, is to first cut the water off and remove the hoses off the back of the washer. Then one at a time point the hoses inside the washer tub and turn the water back on. If you don't have good water pressure, turn the water back off and remove the strainer that should be in one end of the hose. Inspect the strainer to see if it is stopped up, clean it and reinstall it. Now repeat this test. If you have good water pressure now, reinstall hose and your problem is fixed By the way my advice is free cuz God is good!

Question edited for clarity. I presume you want a WIRING diagram? Not much available for that model. Sometimes you will find the service information in a bag taped behind the bottom kickplate or inside the back of the case. https://www.google.com/search?q=Kenmore+HE2+110.46502700+wiring+diagram ..

Hello. I'm a little confused at the description of the problem. You indicated it, "will not agitate during wash cycle or spin during the spin cycle." But later in your description you indicated, "It will however, drain and spin after wash cycle and during the rinse cycle." I'm not sure if you description was an error but it sounds like you will need to replace the coupling which is part number 285753A.

This model of refrigerator has a Gross Capacity of 22.4 cu. ft., meaning the interior space of the refrigerator is 22.4 cubic feet.

Washing machines will not spin until they have emptied most of the water from the drum. I would check the outlet pipe is clear and the pump runs with no obstruction first.

The 27 series are typically 4.5 cu ft. https://manualzz.com/doc/2128222/kenmore-3.2-cu.-ft.-king-size-capacity-top-load-washer ..

There could be several possible causes for your Kenmore top load washer not agitating or spinning. The actuator is one possibility, but it's not the only one. Here are some other potential causes to consider: Lid switch: The lid switch is a safety feature that prevents the washer from agitating or spinning when the lid is open. If the switch is faulty, it may prevent the washer from agitating or spinning even when the lid is closed. You can test the switch by using a multimeter to check for continuity when the lid is closed. Drive belt: The drive belt connects the motor to the transmission, which turns the agitator and drum. If the belt is broken or worn, the washer won't agitate or spin. Check the belt for signs of damage or wear, and replace it if necessary. Motor coupler: The motor coupler connects the motor to the transmission. If the coupler is broken or worn, the washer won't agitate or spin. You can check the coupler by removing the motor and transmission and inspecting the coupler for damage. Transmission: If the transmission is faulty, it may prevent the washer from agitating or spinning. This is a more serious issue that may require a professional repair. Based on the symptoms you described, the issue could be with the actuator, but it's hard to say for sure without further testing. The actuator controls the shifting of the transmission from agitate to spin, so if it's not working properly, it could prevent the washer from agitating or spinning. You can test the actuator using a multimeter to check for continuity. If you're not comfortable diagnosing or repairing your washer yourself, it's best to contact a professional appliance repair service to diagnose and fix the issue.
