    I have the same problem with my Kenmore Elite. The repairman told me it needs a new motor and he will order it today. He is charging me for $325.00 for parts and labor. But, when I read some of the posted problem here I might need a heat board. Please advise! Thank you for your help and I wish I found your website before I called the repairman.



    Thanks,

    Len

Bob, glad you stopped the check, sounds like you need a even heat board. If you press and hold the start button the unit will run. As soon as you release it it stops. Tell the pro you would like a refund. Your part number is 3402605. The board is easy to replace. check out the pic. Catriver

I'd guess the water temperature sensor switch is bad. Simple and relatively inexpensive to replace. If you have the ability and tools, I can tell you how to do in just a few steps.

Timer ticking and heating element activating when dryer is off
One thing to check is if the heater is shorted to frame.Remove the wires and do the checking. If that is fine then the only way the heat can come on at all is IF the motor is running. So check between terminals one and 2 for continuity with the motor NOT running. If you get a reading then your motors cent switch is stuck. You can sometimes oil the springloaded sliding switch but most times the springs have broke on it.

If lock motor runs:

1. Test continuity of wiring between EOC and lock switch on lock motor assy. Repair if needed.

2. Advance motor until cam depresses the plunger on lock motor switch. Test continuity of switch contacts. If

switch is open replace lock motor assy.

3. If motor runs and switch contacts and wiring harness test good, replace the EOC.

If lock motor does not run:

1. Test continuity of lock motor windings. Replace lock motor assembly if windings are open.

2. Test lock motor operation by using a test cord to apply voltage. If motor does not operate replace lock motor

assy.

3. If motor runs with test cord check continuity of wire harness to lock motor terminals. If harness is good replace

the EOC.

AS YOU SEE THE F93 CODE REFERES TO THE DOOR LATCH MOTOR

My Kenmore canister vac's carpet beaterbrush doesn't work however the mini stair one does is the prob in the extendable pole?
The problem is more likely in the power head itself. If the power nozzle motor runs, but the brush doesn't rotate, then the likeliest problem is a broken or worn belt. It could be clogged or worn brush bearing, as well.
You may able to do a visual check for a broken belt. If not, turn PN so brush is facing up. Try turning the brush by hand. If it turns freely, the belt is broken. If it sticks badly, there's a bearing problem, or excessive thread, hair, or similar items wrapped around the brush and it needs cleaned. It can also be bad or clogged bearings, which will need to be cleaned or replaced.
I generally recommend even simple fixes like replacing a belt be done by an authorized service tech, as misplacement and improper tension can cause belt breakage and/or rapid wear, and even shortened life for the PN motor.
Check the connection where the wand or cord connects to the PN. If you see any discolored or obviously worn terminals, they need to be replaced.
If the motor doesn't run, even after pressing the reset button, then the problem is probably bad/broken wiring, wiring connections, or even a worn out motor.
If you still haven't found the problem, a repair shop can trace the problem and repair it, but it may be cheaper in the long run to buy a new vacuum.

Kenmore 80 series electric dryer will not turn off - continues to run thru cycles - must leave door open in order to turn off- cost wise..it itworth having fixed or look into purchasing a new dryer?
It sounds like the timer is bad. Easy to replace and cheap. Maybe 15-30 dollars for the new one. Not difficult to install yourself, just open up the top console and unscrew the old on and slap the new one in. Takes maybe 15 minutes. Just be careful to put all the wires in the same spot as the old one. Even if you have a repair guy come and do it it will be much cheaper to fix than get a new machine.

A timer motor advances the timer; if the timer does not advance, you can safely conclude the timer motor is bad, and replace the timer.

Kenmore Dryer won't heat
Unplug the dryer.
Always remove wires to check continuity or Ohms on any part.
Remove the terminal cover where the cord connects and check all wires.
Also, check them to ground on the chassis. The only one that should read continuity is the ground wire.
After removing the wires from the heater check the heater terminals to the heat canister.
If it reads continuity it is bad.
Pay special attention to the relay on the top side of the heat canister.

Q - My electric dryer runs but will not heat, what could stop my dryer from heating?
A - Things that could stop a electric dryer from heating:
- house fuse or breaker ( needs two of them ), heating element, burnt wire, thermostat(s), thermal fuse ( not all models ), motor heat switch, timer, selector switch, burnt power cord/plug.
A ohm meter test for these parts is here.

Washer won't agitate or spin
Check for a broken or worn motor coupling (behind the motor), it connects the motor to the transmission. If your even a little handy, you should be able to replace it on your own.
Let me know if you need any guidance.
Good luck!
