What to do if Kenmore Washer won't start?
- J
  James NelsonAug 20, 2025
  If your Kenmore Washer won't run, fill, or stops, first ensure both water hoses are correctly attached with water flowing to the inlet valve, and that both hot and cold water faucets are turned on. Check for clogs or kinks in the inlet hoses and ensure the power cord is plugged into a grounded outlet, without using an extension cord. Also, the lid must be closed for the washer to operate. If the washer is tightly packed, remove some items and rearrange the load. Note that the washer may pause during certain cycles, so avoid interrupting it.

  Several issues might cause water leaks in your Kenmore Washer. Ensure the washer is level to prevent water from splashing out of the basket. Check that the fill hoses are tightly connected and that all four flat washers are properly seated. Also, ensure the drain hose is correctly secured to the drainpipe or laundry tub. Finally, inspect your household plumbing for any leaks or clogs that could cause water to back up.

Why is my Kenmore 110.20232710 making so much noise?
- M
  Matthew ThomasAug 25, 2025
  If your Kenmore Washer is making unusual noises, it could be due to several reasons. Check for objects caught in the drain system, such as coins from pockets, which might require service to remove. It's also normal to hear metal items like zippers hitting the basket. A continuous humming sound with gurgling may occur as the pump removes water during Drain/Spin cycles, and the hum of sensing spins is also normal after starting the washer.

How to fix Kenmore 110.20232710 that is not spinning?
- U
  ucoleAug 27, 2025
  To ensure proper draining and spinning in your Kenmore Washer, check the plumbing for correct drain hose installation. Make sure the drain hose does not extend into the standpipe farther than 4.5" (114 mm). Use the drain hose form and securely attach it to the drainpipe or tub, without taping over the drain opening. Lower the drain hose if the end is higher than 96" (2.4 m) above the floor and remove any clogs from the drain hose. Also, using too much detergent can cause excessive suds, slowing or stopping the draining and spinning process; always measure detergent and follow directions. To remove extra suds, select Rinse/Spin without adding detergent.

Why are my clothes not rinsed well in Kenmore 110.20232710 Washer?
- K
  Kimberly GonzalezAug 28, 2025
  If clothes aren't rinsed properly in your Kenmore Washer, ensure the hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed and are correctly attached with water flowing. Verify that both hot and cold water faucets are turned on. If the inlet valve screens are clogged, they may need cleaning. Also, make sure you're using HE detergent and not using too much, as excessive suds can interfere with rinsing. Avoid tightly packing the washer and load garments loosely. Consider using a cycle designed for the fabrics being washed or the Heavy Duty or Deep Wash cycle for higher water fill.

  If you find sand, pet hair, or lint on your load after washing in your Kenmore Washer, it may require additional rinsing due to heavy residues. Try increasing the Soil Level setting.

How to get rid of odors in my Kenmore 110.20232710 Washer?
- R
  Renee McgeeSep 1, 2025
  Odors in your Kenmore Washer can be addressed by performing monthly maintenance. Unload the washer promptly after the cycle is complete and ensure you're measuring detergent correctly, following the manufacturer’s directions. Keep the lid closed during operation. If a cycle is stopped or paused, or if the washer is still spinning, wait until it has completely stopped before unlocking the lid.

Why does my Kenmore 110.20232710 pump out water early?
- A
  Anthony BaileySep 3, 2025
  If your Kenmore Washer pumps out water before finishing the cycle, ensure the lid is closed before starting a cycle and/or during prewash (soak). Leaving the lid open for more than 10 minutes can cause this issue.

Why is my Kenmore 110.20232710 vibrating so much?
- N
  nicolehendersonSep 5, 2025
  Several factors can cause your Kenmore Washer to vibrate or become off-balance. Ensure the front and rear feet are firmly on the floor and that the washer is level. Check the floor for flexing or sagging; using a 3/4" (19 mm) piece of plywood underneath can help. Also, load dry items loosely and evenly around the basket wall, and avoid tightly packing or washing single items. For oversized items like comforters, use the Deep Wash cycle. Adding wet items or too much water can also cause imbalance.

How to improve cleaning performance of Kenmore Washer?
- T
  timothygonzalezSep 7, 2025
  If your Kenmore Washer isn't cleaning or removing stains effectively, remember that it senses the load size and adds the correct amount of water, so do not add extra water. Ensure you're loading garments loosely around the basket wall and using HE detergent. Add detergent to the bottom of the basket before loading clothes. Use the correct cycle for the fabric type and consider a higher soil level option or the Heavy Duty cycle for tough cleaning. Also, use dispensers to avoid staining and load them before starting the cycle.
