Kenmore 110 Series Washing Machine Troubleshooting
If you are looking to troubleshoot your Kenmore 110 series washing machine, here are the possible ways you can follow:
Water Not Draining Out of the Washer:
- Obstructed Waste Hose
If the waste hose on your washing machine is clogged, it may prevent the waste water from draining. If the waste hose is just clogged, repair is as simple as taking it apart and clearing it. Follow the directions in the waste hose installation guide to remove and unclog the waste hose.
- Failing Drain Pump
If there are no obstructions in the waste hose, a malfunctioning drain pump can be the issue. There can be a blockage in the drain pump as well. Since the drain pump’s cover is translucent, the obstruction ought should be obvious. Follow the directions in the drain pump installation manual to clear the obstruction.
- Pump Motor Failure
If the installation instructions for the drain pump and waste pipe did not resolve the issue, the motor might be to blame. The motor will need to be replaced because it gives the drain pump the ability to drain.
Difficulty in Spinning/Not Spinning
- A Damaged Drive Belt
If your drive belt is damaged, your tub cannot be turned by the motor. Use our drive belt installation guide to replace the drive belt if necessary.
- A Poor Tub Motor
You’ll need to get a new motor if your old one breaks down. Do not forget to unplug the washing machine from the outlet. Consult our motor installation guide to replace your motor.
- 5D or SD Error
One of the most common error that users often face is 5D or SD Error.
- A surplus of detergent
This one is straightforward: always use a measuring cup while applying detergent to prevent future problems. Run a second rinse without any detergent or conditioner to fix the present error code 5D. If the problem persists, take out all the laundry and run the Kenmore washer in clean washer mode. Basically, you run a machine without any detergent added.
- Stop interfering with the washing
Make sure not to open the door once the washing cycle has begun because you or your children may unintentionally do so frequently.
