If your Kenmore Washer won't start, ensure the power cord is securely plugged into the wall outlet. Also, check your house fuse or circuit breaker and reset it if necessary. Make sure the water supply tap is turned on. Finally, ensure the door is firmly shut; you may need to press the Start/Pause button and wait a few moments for the door to lock before the washer begins to spin.
Why is my Kenmore 501-40002 leaking, not filling, or not draining properly?
If you're experiencing water leaks from your Kenmore Washer, start by checking and tightening the fill hose connections at both the tap and the washer. If water isn't entering the washer or is entering slowly, ensure the water supply tap is fully open and the inlet hose isn't bent. Also, inspect the filter of the inlet hose for clogs. If water isn't draining or is draining slowly, check for clogs in your house drain pipes (contact a plumber if needed), and inspect the drain hose for bends or clogs. Also, clean the drain filter. Avoid using too much detergent or switch to HE (High Efficiency) detergent if excessive suds are present. Inadequate water supply in your area can also cause issues, check another tap in the house.
What to do if the door on my Kenmore Washer does not open?
Once your Kenmore Washer has started, the door cannot be opened for safety reasons. Wait one or two minutes before attempting to open the door to allow the electric locking mechanism time to release.
How to stop rattling and clanking noises in my Kenmore Washer?
If your Kenmore Washer is making rattling, clanking, thumping, or vibrating noises, first stop the washer and check the drum and drain filter for foreign objects like coins or safety pins. If you have heavy wash loads, a thumping sound is normal, but if it continues after restarting, call for service. Ensure all transit bolts and packing have been removed according to the Installation Instructions. An unevenly distributed wash load can also cause noise, so stop the washer and rearrange the load. Finally, adjust the leveling feet to ensure all four feet are firmly on the ground, especially during the spin cycle.
What to do if my Kenmore 501-40002 Washer overfills with water?
Close the water tap of your Kenmore Washer, unplug the power plug, and call for service.
Why is the wash cycle time delayed on my Kenmore 501-40002?
If the wash cycle time on your Kenmore Washer is delayed, it could be due to the amount of laundry, water pressure, water temperature, or other usage conditions. The wash time will increase if an imbalance is detected or if the suds removing program operates.
What to do if the load is too small or out of balance in my Kenmore 501-40002?
Add one or two similar items to your Kenmore Washer to help balance the load. You can also try rearranging the load to allow for proper spinning.
What to do for an overload in motor of Kenmore 501-40002?
Allow your Kenmore Washer to stand for 30 minutes to allow the motor to cool. Then, restart the cycle. If the LE error code still appears, unplug the washer and call for service.
