Something to do with brake and clutch? But because of age can't find any

Kenmore Elite HE3 Washing Machine: How can I fix the F/H Error code?

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 09:16:11 -0700

I have a Sears Kenmore Elite HE3t Front Loading Washer

Made by Whirlpool

Model: 110.45966400

I keep getting the F/H Error code.

I know the F/H error code has to do with water flow issues, so went through all of the things on everyone's list of potential problems, and have narrowed it down to this... The hot water valve is not opening to let water in. Sounds like a simple solution, Right? No so much...

I replaced the inlet valve, and I have the same problem with the new valve. I opted to switch out the white leads on the hot water solenoid with the black leads on the cold water solenoid. Now the hot water valve opens and the cold valve does not. Okay, so now I'm assuming the problem is not the solenoid on the old or new water inlet valve.

Next I checked the wires from the white terminals at the hot water inlet solenoid to the plug at the CCU. Both wires have continuity. Also wiggling the wires and leads while the valve should be open at the beginning of the cycle did not change anything. Okay, so now I'm assuming it's probably not the wires from the CCU to the hot water side of the solenoid.

Now I'm assuming the CCU is bad and not providing power to the wires leading to the solenoid on the hot water inlet valve, so changed out the CCU with a new one. Guess what?! The new CCU provides the exact same result. No power to the solenoid on the hot water inlet. So now I'm sort of assuming the problem is not the CCU either, but I have no idea where to go next?

All of the other items for the F/H error code have been checked and either were clean/unobstructed and functioning (pump filter and drain hose are clean and functioning fine to pump out the water from the tub, syphon hose is unobstructed with no kinks or leaks) or were replaced with new (flow meter, pressure switch, inlet valve, CCU). I'm totally perplexed and have no idea where to go from here?

Kenmore Elite HE3 Washing Machine: F02 Error Code HE3 Elite Washer

Sun, 22 Feb 2026 11:42:22 -0700

The washer displayed the SUD error message, so I left it alone and eventually the message went away and was replaced with error code F02. After research, I found that this error code is due to not draining. I have done all the suggested things to make sure that drain is not plugged up or kinked etc. I cannot find any "clean out" on my model washer. The drum spins freely if I turn it by hand. Is there anything else I can try to get the washer running again? Do I have to get a service technician to come out and look at it?

Kenmore 110 Series Washing Machine: Disassembling my Kenmore 70 series model#110.82370120

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 10:55:47 -0700

When I open the lid the tub is leaning to one side, and the washer is very susceptible to spinning slightly off balance with a faint knocking sound, even if I manually balance out the clothes carefully during the pause before the spin. The only time the washer does not knock on spin is if the tub is empty, or has an extremely light load(like a few socks, etc.)

So I want to properly take the machine apart and figure out how to check the dampers,shock absorbers, suspension rods/springs,counter balance ring, or whatever part on this model will be responsible for the issue.

(*Also, I replaced the drain pump with an OEM part from GRP several months ago. The washer was laying front side down to expose the bottom for quite a few days. After replacing it, the washer runs with a louder sound as if something is struggling. I heard this is normal for a newly installed pump at first, but it still does that today. So I don't know if any of this has anything to do with the knocking. Because the off balance issue gradually started way before the drain pump issue.)

Thank you for any help from anyone who has this type of knowledge or experience.

Kenmore Washer: Kenmore Series 500 Washer drains, doesn't automatically spin SOMETIMES

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 08:06:06 -0700

I have a Kenmore series 500 (model W10240534 ) washer. For the 2 months, it has began to stop automatically progressing to the spin cycle. When I set the dial to regular or heavy load, it begins normally, lid locks and it senses, fills and washes. It will rinse and drain, but sometimes it will sit on spin (green light indicates spin), the lid is not locked and it will not do anything until we cancel it, manually move the dial to drain/spin and push start. At this point, it will then spin (sometimes after performing Morse code on the buttons to get it to do something.

Sometimes there is 1/2” of water in the bottom, sometimes 4”, sometimes no water.

50% of the time, it will run the cycle from start to finish correctly.

At the advice of this forum, I have replaced the lid lock. The lid lock is operational.

Does anyone have any ideas of what the problem could be?

Kenmore 110 Series Washing Machine: I am unable to get the water to drain

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 22:15:54 -0700

Putting the Kenmore 110 series washer into my home, my drain hose in my home is not the correct size to go on to the drain hose exiting the washer so I adapted them to fit together. I don't know if this is what is causing the washer to not drain or if it is some other issue

Kenmore 110 Series Washing Machine: Washer makes very loud noise during spin cycle

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 14:20:52 -0700

My washer makes a very loud noise during the spin cycle (it does not make the load noise during any other cycles). The load is balanced and the drum is not wobbling side to side.

I have the same problem, it’s the drum bearings and seal. The seal leaks and water gets in the bearings and destroys them, hold the outer drum then try to move the inner drum, if it moves at all it’s gone!!

I'm going to pull mine apart and goto an auto parts place to match them! If that doesn't work will try to find them by the old part number on each one, I have two bearings and one seal. Good luck!
