Kenmore 110 Series Washing Machine: Why won't my washer spin or drain?

Thu, 11 Sep 2025 06:20:30 -0700

It will fill with water but won't spin or drain on its own. I can drain it if I put the hose on the ground, but not if it's in its usual spot.

Kenmore Elite HE3 Washing Machine: Loud knocking sound in spin cycle?

Fri, 18 Jul 2025 11:47:43 -0700

Hi, I'm trying to figure out this loud knocking sound that happens when my Kenmore elite goes in to any spin cycle. It's even worse when it's in the high speed spin.

I've pulled off the back of the machine inspected the motor belt and pulley. It all looks fine. I also made sure that its level. But it still makes the noise. Any info will help.

Thanks

John

Kenmore Elite HE3 Washing Machine: Washer slowly fills with water while not in use, what is wrong?

Fri, 03 Jan 2025 12:47:56 -0700

Recently, I noticed that my washer will slowly fill with water when not in use. The problem seems to be intermittent, and I think it could be mineral buildup in the supply valve. Any suggestions would help.

Whatever cycle I choose, the light just flashes and holding the start button does nothing. I've unplugged it for 5 minutes to try to re start it but that didn't work.

My washing machine cycle came to an end. After 3 minutes it is supposed to unlock, but it didnt. It has drained all the water out, so that's not a problem. I turned the power off on the wall, and it still wouldnt unlock. How can I get my wet washing out?

Maytag Bravos quiet series 300: washer sounds like it wants to take off during spin cycle

Wed, 11 Dec 2024 16:54:11 -0700

My Bravos quiet series is 4 years old and out of warranty. I had a local repairman charge me $85 to show up and tell me that I needed a new bearing, inner and outer tub for a total of $875.00, Obviously I did not have the repair done as it is cheaper to shop for a new washer.

My question is Is this possible for a four year old machine?

Kenmore Elite HE3 Washing Machine: F02 Error Code HE3 Elite Washer

Sun, 22 Feb 2026 11:42:22 -0700

The washer displayed the SUD error message, so I left it alone and eventually the message went away and was replaced with error code F02. After research, I found that this error code is due to not draining. I have done all the suggested things to make sure that drain is not plugged up or kinked etc. I cannot find any "clean out" on my model washer. The drum spins freely if I turn it by hand. Is there anything else I can try to get the washer running again? Do I have to get a service technician to come out and look at it?

Kenmore Elite HE3 Washing Machine: Wash load still wet-washer not draining and spinning properly.

Fri, 21 Jun 2019 16:31:18 -0700

The door to the washer was unlocked, but the load was still dripping wet. I hit the drain/spin button to spin it out again, but I got the Sud error code. I couldn't get it to clear until I unplugged the machine and plugged it back in. I tried the drain/spin button again and when the spin light came on, all that it did was fill with a little water (I could see it through the window) and make a noise. It did not spin.

Haier RWT350AW: My washing machine will not drain or spin, agitates fine.

Wed, 11 May 2022 12:44:34 -0700

Hi, so recently my washing machine stopped draining and spinning. I know the motor works fine, as it agitates fine, also the lid switch works fine. When it hits the spin/drain cycle it will just click.

It's a belt driven setup, belt checks out fine, I'm leaning towards a pump, as it will gravity drain when unplugged, but I'm not sure how to test it, and I don't want to just start throwing parts at it.

Thanks in advance!

The dryer runs and sounds normal, but the clothes are still wet after running "heavy duty" mode for an hour. This just started happening. I don't think the air in the dryer is warming up.
