Kenmore Washer Troubleshooting - How to Find Error Codes & Recalibrate to Fix Your Washer
If you have a Kenmore Washer that has problems like it won't spin, this video is to help you "Open Up" the washer and put this washer into diagnostic mode. These style washers (made from 2009 to 2016 and still today with other brands) have a powerful error code mode that will show you how to solve stuff like your Kenmore Washer won't spin - or at least isolate why that's an issue. Using these systems should help you pin down why a Kenmore Washer won't spin, or other issues like a Kenmore washer won't drain. These steps can be done on many other styles of VMW washers (which all have the green oval lights and go under brand names like Maytag, Kenmore, Amana, Roper, Whirlpool, Inglis, Admiral and others).
In this video, we're showing you the 4 primary mode of the Kenmore Washer Diagnostic system:
- Error Code modes to help isolate why a Kenmore Washer's Not Spinning or your Kenmore Washer Not Draining
- Automatic Test Mode to test all Kenmore Washer Parts & Components
- Manual Test Mode (IMPORTANT!) to test all Kenmore Washer Parts individually
- Kenmore Washer Recalibration and Kenmore Washer Reset - this mode is NEEDED when you install a new Kenmore Washer Part!
My hope is this video helps you to identify what's going on with the washer. This doesn't show you how to install parts, buy parts, or diagnose the part via multimeter, but at least points you in the right direction. I plan on doing future videos on this.
