  If your Kenmore Washer is leaking water, first ensure the washer is level to prevent water from splashing. Check that the fill hoses are tightly connected and that all four fill hose flat washers are properly seated. Also, ensure the drain hose is correctly connected to the drainpipe or laundry tub. Examine your household plumbing for any leaks or clogs. Finally, make sure the washer is loaded properly to avoid the basket being out of alignment.

  If your Kenmore Washer won't run or fill, or if the wash light remains on, check for a proper water supply, ensuring both hoses are attached and have water flowing to the inlet valve. Make sure both hot and cold water faucets are turned on. Inspect the inlet valve screens for clogs and check for any kinks in the inlet hoses that may restrict water flow.

Why is there not enough water in my Kenmore 26112?

  Cindy KennedyAug 17, 2025
  The low water level in your Kenmore Washer is normal for an HE low-water washer. The load will not be completely underwater because the washer senses load sizes and adds the correct amount of water for optimal cleaning. Do not add more water, as this can reduce cleaning effectiveness.

How to fix vibration or off-balance in Kenmore 26112?

  Tiffany ArmstrongAug 21, 2025
  If your Kenmore Washer is vibrating or off-balance, ensure that the front and rear feet are in firm contact with the floor and that the washer is level. Check the floor for flexing or sagging; if uneven, use a 3/4" (19 mm) piece of plywood under the washer. Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. Avoid adding wet items or too much water to the basket. For oversized items, use the Bulky/Sheets cycle. Washing smaller loads can also reduce imbalance.

  If your Kenmore Washer is making clicking or metallic noises, check for objects caught in the washer drain system. Empty pockets before washing, as loose items like coins can fall between the basket and tub or block the pump. Removing these items may require service. Note that metal items on clothing, such as snaps, buckles, or zippers, can also cause noise when they touch the stainless steel basket.
