Kenmore Washer: Washer doesn’t spin, clothes are soaked

Tue, 08 Sep 2026 01:29:52 -0700

My Kenmore washer runs a wash cycle and clothes come out soaking wet. If I run drain/spin it stops at spin and flashes the lid lock and does not spin. I checked codes and get F7E1 and F7E5. I replaced the lid lock assembly with oem part already. What would cause this issue? It’s a Kenmore 110.26002011 from 2011. Thanks in advance,

Dan

Dishwasher: Bosch 800 Series - Error E31-00

Mon, 07 Sep 2026 11:16:08 -0700

We purchased a brand new Bosch 800 series dishwasher a little over 2 years ago. It has, without doubt, been the best dishwasher we have ever owned. Until recently. (note, we use it 2-3x per day, lots of kids)

Starting roughly February, it would start beeping and flash error code E31-00 and the drain would run non-stop for 12-24 hours before it would finally just turn itself off. Sometimes, I would turn the breaker off and let it sit for a few hours and when I turned the power back on the error would be clear.

At one point, it was basically unusable. We went on a week vacation and when we got back, it ran perfectly for 1 week. Then the same problem happened.

At this point, I can run it once per day and if about 24 hours elapse between it's last cycle, it will run normally.

I can't afford an appliance repair person, so I'm hoping for some wisdom!

Whirlpool Dishwasher: Whirlpool dishwasher not Draining

Sun, 06 Sep 2026 12:42:15 -0700

I have a Whirlpool dishwasher W10751166C that is not draining. We attempted to clean the filter, checked the drain hose, and checked the pump impeller. No problems could be found, and no error codes given. Not to sure what to do next. You can hear the pump and it sounds like everything is running fine, but it just doesn’t drain the water after the wash. If anyone has any ideas I’d appreciate the input.

Kenmore Elite HE3 Dryer: Check lint filter light is blinking and dryer won't run.

No matter which setting I choose , the check lint filter light starts flashing and the dryer won't start. I have reset the breaker, unplugged the dryer, cleaned out the filter and the vent in the back. An answer on another of this question said to check the heat sensor which I will do. Is there anything else to check for?

I have a Kenmore 665.13543N412 dishwasher. The door was leaking so I replaced the seal/gasket, door lower seal, and the latch mechanism.

Also, now my door will not latch properly.

It is still leaking from both the left and right corners.

Vacuum Cleaner: Vax Blade 3 not working

Sun, 06 Sep 2026 02:56:33 -0700

I have a blade 3 Vax cordless vacuum that no linger works as it should. The battery pack (18v) does not recharge on the charger

The individual cells are showing about 3.7 volts each and the motor runs for a few seconds before a "code red".

I suspect the battery managment system is faulty.

What I would like to do is "convert it to corded" i.e run it off an adaptor. The motor rating is 160 watts at 18 volts, and the charger adaptor is 18 v at 1.5 watts.

So is the 160 watt motor rating the no load, load or stall amount?

Does it really need a 9 amp rated 18 volt adaptor? (160 /18)?
