Question about Kenmore 46462 Front Load Washer

1 Answer

All cycle indicator lights blinking?

All of the cycle indicator lights are blinking and the "add a garment" light is on. there is nothing about this particular combination in the owners manual. I unplugged the machine and waited, powered it back on to "drain and spin" since I stopped the rinse and spin cycle before it was done. Still all lights are blinking. I have power, water is on, all hoses are clear. what can I do to reset this to avoid a service call? thank you

    you cannot avoid a service call, when all of the lights are blinking, it means you need a new computer! crazy as it sounds. we were under warranty and didn't have to pay for it.
    good luck

Just have a question...The feature "Add a garment" - does this mean I have to add a garment because the setting I am using needs more load or does it simply means adding a garment is fine anytime while...
There is no minimum load requirement - it just means you can add a garment or garments if you wish.

Can't get washer to start again after pushing pause/cancel button
sounds like central control unit problem, you can check for diagnostic mode operation by setting (door closed) drain/spin, no spin, pressing prewash 4 times in 5 secs pressing prewash again will advance through diagnostic cycle. replacing user interface may also be necessary

Control lock light will not go off.
Do you have any error codes?

Does water remain in the washer after the final spin?
If water remains in the washer after the final spin, then the door will not unlock. Drain/Spin or Spin Only to remove any remaining water from the washer. The door should unlock at the end of the cycle.
Is the door locked and the Add A Garment light on?
If the Add A Garment light is on, then the washer door will unlock after the Pause/Cancel button is pressed once. Pressing the Start button will restart the washer at the same point where it left off in the cycle.
Is the door locked and the Add A Garment light off?
If the Add A Garment light is off, then the washer door will unlock after the Pause/Cancel button is pressed twice. The door will not immediately unlock while the cycle is running due to a possible high-water level in the washer, high-water temperature, tumbling or spinning. It may take up to five minutes for the washer to stop spinning and draining before the door will unlock. You will hear the door click when it unlocks.
If Pause/Cancel does not work:
  1. Unplug washer or disconnect power for one minute.
  2. Plug in washer or reconnect power.
  3. Re-select the cycle and press Start.
NOTE: If the error remains on the display, call for service.
