Question about Kenmore 46462 Front Load Washer

1 Answer

Kenmore Front loader clogged up

I washed a chenille throw in my washer last night and it came all apart. The washer will not completely drain and I can run a new load but it stops with about 20 minutes left and will not spin and drain. I'm thinking I need to clean out the hoses as they are probably full of little bits of chenille, but I don't know what to do.

    We took all the hoses off and cleaned them out. They were all cogged with the chenille fuzz! Big clumps of it! It took awhile to get the clamps back on, but the washer is running smoothly now. Thanks!

Open the back panel to access the hoses. look for the largest-diameter round hose and disconnect it. this should be the drain hose. it also should lead to a vertical-rising pipe or hose that then dumps downward (U-tube at top) into your house piping outside the washer. My hunch is the clog is somewhere before the area where you disconnected and may need to remove all hoses from the pump and also clean pump's impeller.

My HE2 front loader has a problem draining. It will be "locked" after washing. It is either full of water still, or needs to go through an extra "rinse and spin" cycle to drain the...

Hi

This issue usually occurs due to kinked drain pipe, clogged drain filter or drain pump. First make sure that the drain is not clogged and remove clogs if present. If no visible lint is present then remove the lower front access panel to check the drain filter and drain pump for any clogs, you'll need to clean the drain filter and drain pump completely, if the issue returns then it is time for a new pump. Hope this helps... Please post back for any further assistance.

Whether this is a TOP LOADER, or a FRONT LOADER, the drain pump is located directly below the wash tub in the front of the washer. Accessing either one takes, different procedures, however.

To access the pump on a TOP LOADER, you must remove the exterior washer casing. Follow the steps provided in this link:

If this is a FRONT LOADER, you must remove the lower toe panel directly below the door. Follow the steps provided in this link:

http://www.fixya.com/support/r3574350-replacing_the_drain_pump_in_a_front_load

The Kenmore Oasis is a different configuration from the two I've mentioned. There are two pumps on the Oasis. One is a drain pump, while the other is a recirc pump. Both are accessible by removing the rear panel of the washer.

If you require further assistance, please post back with a complete model number so I can determine how your washer is configured. I hope you find this information helpful.

Washer won't spin

Maybe when you were behind the machine, you did not refit the outlet pipe at the correct height; this is a height approx. 3 feet from the ground or more. Your pump pumps the water OVER this height.

You said it does not spin; you shd check out your outlet filter and clean it. If this is clogged the machine will not spin. All the best!
