To clean your Kenmore Elite SM 9711174 washing machine, you can follow these steps:
1. Clean the exterior of the machine: Wipe down the exterior of the washing machine with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Be sure to dry it thoroughly to prevent any water damage.
2. Clean the drum: Mix a solution of 1/4 cup of baking soda and 1/4 cup of water and pour it into the detergent dispenser. Run the machine on the hottest and longest cycle with an extra rinse. This will help to remove any built-up detergent residue or mildew from the drum.
3. Clean the detergent dispenser: Remove the detergent dispenser and soak it in warm, soapy water for 10-15 minutes. Use a soft-bristled brush to scrub away any buildup or debris, and rinse it thoroughly before replacing it.
4. Clean the lint filter: The lint filter is located near the bottom of the machine. Remove it and rinse it under running water to remove any lint or debris. If the filter is particularly dirty, soak it in warm, soapy water for a few minutes before rinsing it.
5. Run a cleaning cycle: Some washing machines have a self-cleaning cycle that you can use to help remove any buildup or mildew. Check the user manual for instructions on how to run a cleaning cycle on your specific machine.

By following these steps, you should be able to clean your Kenmore Elite SM 9711174 washing machine and keep it running smoothly.

Inside the case there is a water level switch. It is round, has 2 wires to a number of connectors and a tube that goes down to the drum. As the water goes in, the water level rises in the tube and causes the pressure to operate the switch and turn the water off. If the machine was tilted or laid flat with the transit bolts not being in place, it may have caused the pipe to come off. The usually look like this.
