Kenmore Elite HE3 Washing Machine: Washer slowly fills with water while not in use, what is wrong?

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 09:03:39 -0700

Recently, I noticed that my washer will slowly fill with water when not in use. The problem seems to be intermittent, and I think it could be mineral buildup in the supply valve. Any suggestions would help.

Kenmore Elite HE3 Washing Machine: Error code F 05 repair tips please.

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 06:27:47 -0700

Hello we own a kenmore elite HE3 front load washer. Lately we have been getting the F05 error code. It is happening for every load. Sometimes the load will finish after pressing Pause/Cancel a couple of times. Is this an easily diagnosed and fixed problem? I am generally handy but not an expert in electronics repair. l am capable of following detailed instructions.

Thank you

Kenmore 110 Series Washing Machine: Why does my washing machine pour water during the spin cycle?

Thu, 28 May 2026 09:47:00 -0700

My washing machine has an issue where it pours water during the spin cycle, while it is draining. Basically, it pours water from the top while draining it out from the bottom. It drains the water faster than it can pour it, so it does not actually fill with water, but it does re-wet the clothes, so the clothes are dripping wet when the cycle is complete.

It also agitates while filling with water. This is not much of a problem, but it started happening the same time that the other issue above started happening.

Model: Kenmore Elite 26964503

This is what the washing machine is supposed to do:

Wash Cycle
1. Fill with water.
2. When full, begin agitating.
3. After a while, drain water.
Rinse Cycle
1. Fill with water.
2. When full, begin agitating.
3. After a while, drain water.
Spin Cycle
1. Spin while draining water.
2. When empty, continue spinning and draining.
3. After a while, stop.

This is what the washing machine actually does (the bold text marks the differences):

Wash Cycle
1. Fill with water while agitating.
2. When full, continue agitating.
3. After a while, drain water.
Rinse Cycle
1. Fill with water while agitating.
2. When full, continue agitating.
3. After a while, drain water.
Spin Cycle
1. Spin while draining water.
2. When empty, continue spinning and draining but also begin pouring water from top.
3. After a while, stop.

Summary

The main problem is 3-2: in the spin cycle, the machine begins to pour water after it has drained all of the water. It is not supposed to be pouring water at this point; it defeats the purpose of the spin cycle.

What could this be? What would cause it to pour water during the spin cycle?

Kenmore 110 Series Washing Machine: Why won't my washer spin or drain?

Sat, 23 May 2026 06:59:51 -0700

It will fill with water but won't spin or drain on its own. I can drain it if I put the hose on the ground, but not if it's in its usual spot.

Kenmore 80 Series Washing Machine: Why is my machine only agitating in fast cycles?

Mon, 04 May 2026 07:18:23 -0700

My machine agitates in fast-agitation/heavy duty cycle but not in the other slow-agitation cycle. It fills, empties, and spins fine in all the cycles.

The slow agitation issues came on gradually, at first it was hesitating after filling but would eventually start, but after awhile it would go through the whole agitation phase without moving at all.

I've replaced the timer and the capacitor.

Turns out it is a failed slow speed winding in the motor.

Washer was working great until we moved, and now ever since then it makes that noise when it is in the agitates? We did not lay it on it's side, we used a dolly to move it to it's new location. I really need the help to fix! Everything else runs fine spins great and filled fine, just happens when it washes the clothes.

Kenmore 90 Series Washing Machine: Washer hums after filling, will not agitate, spin, or drain

Sat, 18 Apr 2026 16:13:09 -0700

I have a Kenmore 90 Series washer. Last week it began making a humming sound after filling. It will not agitate, spin, or drain.

I was able to empty it out and check the pump, didn't find any issues but replaced anyways. Issue persisted. Lid latch working normally as well. I can manually rotate the barrel from inside the washer and by spinning the coupler on the motor side of the transmission.

Removed the motor and verified the coupling was still intact, and did not notice any mushrooming or smell from the capacitor. I noticed the motor was very hot, but I am unsure if it was outside normal parameters. I also noticed a few wires getting very hot from inside the cabinet.
