FIXED: Kenmore Washer Not draining

Not all customers know how to check if the water is not draining. It is not difficult. After the wash cycle the water must be drained from the washing machine before the spin cycle begins. Then, when the spin cycle finishes, the clothes are dry. Thus, if you have wet linen in the end, your Kenmore washer refuses to drain. It is not a fatal breakdown but it requires a repair. Before you call a repairman, try out a master reset. Unplug your washer for about one minute. Then, plug the appliance back in. Open and close the door six times in 12 seconds to tell the computer to reset everything. This may not work on all machines, but it’s an easy fix if yours is compatible with this technique. Then, go ahead to check the drain pump for a failure. The drain pump removes water from the washer at the appropriate times during the wash cycle. The pump's bearing can seize, the seal can fail or the impeller blades can break. The belt on the belt-driven pumps can break, and the pulley can shear off. A humming noise when the washer is full of water is a common symptom of a failing pump. In some cases, you can repair the pump by clearing it of debris, fixing wiring failures or replacing a seal. If the pump can't be repaired or rebuilt, replace it. If it doesn’t help, there is a necessity to check the lid switch assembly and water level control. Look at the drain hose; it might be kinked. And moreover the coin trap possibly needs cleaning. If you do meet a dead end with diagnosing your Kenmore washing machine, don’t stress. Talk with our support crew for more details. It’ll be much cheaper to arrange a repair service visit and find the precise issue to replace the problematic part than trying to fix it yourself and cause more damage.
