Ken April 09, 2017 for Model Number 79641029900 My front loading washer keeps tripping the breaker. I have tried plugging it in different outlets and it continues to trip the breaker.
1 Answer Hello Ken, You will need to open the unit and use a multi-meter to determine where the shorted component is by using the wiring diagram to trace the wiring harness. This can be done by checking for a short from the hot lead on the plug to the neutral or ground prong. Unplugging each component in the unit, one at a time will show if that is the faulty component or not. Read More...
Sami October 14, 2015 for Model Number Kenmore 79640272900 I had preset my washer to start the next morning. When I went to unload it, the washer was humming, was in the wash cycle with water, but nothing was happening. I unplugged it, let it sit half and hour and set it like a new load and it showed "sensing" load and humming, nothing. What do you suggest it may need?
1 Answer Sami, If the unit was humming like a motor running, you will want to check to see if the tub turns freely by hand. If it does then the issue would most likely be a motor issue. Read More...
Howie F May 12, 2015 for Model Number model 796 40272900 I have a code that reads CF Control error, I have powered down and back up and continue to get that code. No issues prior to this failure, pretty sure I need a EBR62545101 control board
1 Answer Howie, You will want to power the unit down, gain access to the condenser fan, power the unit back on and test power to the condenser fan. If there is power to it then the fan is defective and would need to be replaced. If there is no power then the control board would need replaced. Read More...
Beau June 18, 2014 for Model Number 796.40272900 The washer was not powering on. I replaced the AP5255786 (EBR62545101) PCB ASSEMBLY,MAIN and it worked properly for two days. Now having the same problem with the washer not powering on. What else do I need to look for? Thank you, Beau
1 Answer Beau, With the unit not powering on the first thing that you will want to check the filter assembly 6201EC1006T to makes sure that there is power into the assembly and power out of the assembly to the control board. If there is no power out then replace the filter assembly. If there is power in and out and power to the board but the unit will not power on then most likely is a user interface issue with having a new board in it. Read More...
Jgroneck February 25, 2014 for Model Number 796.40272900 I have a 4 year old Kenmore washer model 796.40272900 . The washer loses power after a load is completed. If I unplug the washer for 15-20 seconds the power comes back immediatley when plugged back into the wall outlet. All controls/cycles appear to function properly and all external / internal connections seem intact. The GFCI and circuit breaker are functioning normally. I would greatly appreciate some advice on the likely fix / replacement part for this problem.
1 Answer Hello JGroneck. Based on the information you provided, you need to order and replace part number EBR62545101. Read More...
