Title
Cleaning Kenmore Elite HE3 Washer Control Board Relays
Introduction
The Kenmore Elite HE3 washers will stop their cycle and display an error code if they detect a problem. Two error codes seem prevalent, FDL and F11. FDL indicates a failure of the door lock mechanism. F11 indicates an error in communication with the control board and the front panel. Clearing the error and restarting the cycle may fix the problem temporarily, but is not a permanent fix.
One problem known to cause the problem is that the relays on the control board can become coated with carbon due to excessive arcing. This guide will explain how to access and clean or replace them.
