Kenmore Elite 45986 Front Load Washer Logo

Why does my front loading Kenmore washer get stuck on the rinse cycle and will not stop running water and draining?

The machine gets stuck with the water running and draining nonstop. If I turn off the water, turn off the machine, turn water back on and turn on the machine, it will usually reset itself. It flashes FE when it does it.

SOURCE: Kenmore front load washer won't drain

Remove the bottom panel under the door to access the drain pump. Make sure the washer is unplugged before servicing the pump. The pump will be located under the wash tub in the front of the washer. There should be a small access cover that can be unscrewed to access the inside of the pump. If not, remove the inlet hose to access the pump impeller. HINT: Pull the drain hose from the standpipe and use a shop vac to pull a vacuum on the drain line. This will pull any remaining water out of the drain lines and wash tub. This will minimize the amount of water that spills out of the drain pump when you remove the access cover.

It does not take much to damage this small drain pumps. If you clean the pump thoroughly and it still exhibits drain problems, the manufacturer recommends replacing the pump.

If you require additional assistance, let me know before you rate the solution. I hope this helps you.

SOURCE: kenmore he2 front loader washer won't do rinse spin cycle

kappharmd-

if yours is the same, the drain is hidden behind the lower access panel on the front (how convenient, huh?). I don't understand why they didn't just make a recess hole for it. I've just left one screw loose in the center and it kinda "compression" fits. We clean this out regularly, as my wife and family don't check pockets well. :)

My Kenmore Elite total care system gets stuck on the Pause Cool Down step and then again on the spin setting. It doesn't even drain after rinsing.

The washer has a temp sensor for the rinse cycle , so just set the temp to warm water and it will stop getting stuck, because it wants the water to be warm when it rinsing ,ok hope that helps you! Ericc

Water will not drain during the rinse cycle

A lot of those front load type washers have problems resulting from overuse of detergent. You should remove the panel and clean ot the sludge and lint inside. Service Manualb8c024f.jpg

Won't complete cycle, stops at rinse. and can't get hot water.

Are you on well water? turn off the cold water to the washer and clean the screen filter out. do not leave filter out.
the machine probably has a cold only final rinse so it won't work properly.

Kenmore front-load washer stops at rinse cycle

When the washer initially fills for the wash, is it only hot water entering the drum? Try switching the water temperature between hot and cold as it fills. If any of them show little or no water getting through, it sounds too easy but check to make sure water supply taps are on, and that the cold/hot fill hoses aren't reversed. Remove the fill hoses and check any of the screen filters for blockage (in the hoses and in the inlet water valve). When the machine stops and waits to fill but all you hear is a hum, it sounds like there is power going to the valve but water is not able to get through it.
Good luck!

Kenmore elite washer problem

sounds as if you have a drain issue, most common cause of fault is theres something stuck in the pump housing. remove the lower acess panel(3 screws along the bottom of the forn of unit) youll gain acess to the pump housing, remove the large cover to the "button trap" by uncscrewimg the cover, it will be righthin front of you in the center of machine when cover removed, im sure youll find your blockage within there
