Kenmore Washers Help - Post your problem

KENMORE WASHERS HELP

The best way to perform your own washing machine repairs is to help yourself and do the maintenance so it reduces the chances of break down. This starts with keeping the washing machine clean. I dont know how many times I have attended a breakdown only to find the washer in a terrible condition.

What do you clean? This starts with regularly checking and cleaning the inlet water filters and lint filters.

Always carefully check the water hoses, the door seals and all fittings for leaks, and then repair.

Also ensure that your washing machine is properly levelled.

Clothes can also be a problem and distributing clothes will prevent violent drum imbalance vibration when on spin cycle.

KENMORE WASHER SELF HELP SAFETY

You should not attempt to repair or troubleshoot your washer until the electrical power is switched off and the plug removed from the socket outlet. Always electrically isolate the clothes washer before checking any part of the wiring, or opening any of the protective covers

If you have any doubts as to your ability to follow the advice then please call a qualified electrician or appliance service technician.

The fact is most faults on machines are very similar to each other.

WASHER HELP HINTS

If the washer will not start, I know its basic, but so many people forget to plug in the unit, or simply dont operate the machine correctly. In some cases the breaker may have tripped at your switch panel for some reason and it may not be the washer at fault.

So many callouts are for really simply operator errors. So always read your manual first.

Always check that water faucets are turned on, its an easy mistake, they are generally always left on and sometimes someone turns it off.

Before you start troubleshooting, check the basics, is the water available? and is the power on?
