Johnniew January 17, 2023 for Model Number 110.45087404 I have a Kenmore Elite washer model 101.45087404 and the motor is not running. I removed the motor and checked it with an Ohm meter and I am getting 6 Ohms on pins 1-2, 2-3 & 3-1. In the manual this says that the motor is good or else one of those would be infinity. Does that mean that I need the motor control unit model W10756692? Is there anyway to test the MCU? I already tested the fuse on it and it has continuity.
1 Answer Johnnie, For this issue, you will want to check to ensure that there is power from the Central Control Unit to the MCU. If there is 120 Vac then the MCU would be the cause for this issue. Read More...
Lee June 01, 2022 for Model Number GHW9400PL0 OK...ran the wash. was standing near it when cycle ended. washer made the usual loud click. lights went off. Tried to open door. door locked. tried to get any light... pressed buttons rotated switch. Nothing. Removed bottom panel and manually unlocked door. reinstalled bottom panel and removed clothes. Tried pushing buttons switches etc...nothing. replaced ccu with new. No lights now.... BUT when i hold power down....then lights blink. As im holding power down i can push buttons change settings etc and time temp etc lights move ok. when i let up on power button it goes dark....im unable to use diagnostics........please help....thanks
1 Answer Lee, Check to see if there is 120 Vac going into the main control board. If this checks ok then the issue will be with the main control board. Read More...
Gilberto January 21, 2022 for Model Number GHW9400PL1 My motor control unit (GHW9400PL1) burned out due to a leak. I have another motor control unit (WFW9200SQ00) from the same model, different year.
1 Answer Hello Gilberto, You will need motor control unit W10756692 for the model provided. The other one will not work unless it is the same part number. Read More...
Michael January 05, 2020 for Model Number 110.45962 401 We have a Kenmore Elite HE 3t. We are getting both F 11 and FH failure codes. The machine will sometimes alarm at 48 minutes and stop and at 11 minutes and stop. Sometimes it will run through cycle down to 1 minute and then spend the next hour turning the drum back and forth and never complete the cycle. Sears service has been out a couple of times. Once they cleaned out the pump reservoir and said the problem was sudsing. Told us that we were using too much soap. That didn't fix the problem and when he came back he said the drain hose was too long and shortened it. At one point we were getting a DL Alarm so I changed the Door Lock Switch. Not sure what to try next. Maybe dig a hole and buy new washer/Dryer.
1 Answer Hello Michael, the fault codes match the symptoms you are describing, the fault code FH refers to the washer running out of water fill time during wash or rinse fill, this is usually caused by sediment build-up in the cold water side of the water inlet valve, Part WP8181694, the F11 code refers to the Motor Control Board located on the base of the washer is starting to fail, Part W10756692.

Larry September 27, 2019 for Model Number 110 42922 200 Follow up question. Could the drain pump be causing the FH error code due to machine filling continuously. Pump is only 6 months old and drains the machine when i use drain and spin to empty the machine. All parts are new, MCU, CCU, Pressure Switch, Flowmeter, Fill Valve, Pressure switch hose, tub to pump hose, drain hose, new ball and seal, and removed and cleaned air trap. All wiring connections are correct and appear tight.
1 Answer Larry, as the drain pump is operating properly in the drain and spin cycle, the drain pump would not be an issue. However, when water is filling, if there are a lot of suds occurring, this can cause pressure issues. If the unit continues to fill but the water does not fill the tub up, then the drain hose placement will need to be checked due to being placed too far into the standpipe can cause siphoning.

Larry September 27, 2019 I have a Kenmore washer model 110.42922200. I changed the pump and tub to pump and drain hoses and ball and seal in the tub to pump hose approximately 6 months ago due to improper drainage at the end of the cycle. I then started getting suds error messages. I opened the drain pump to check for obstructions but everything checked okay. No issues for about a month then I started getting an FH error message, so I changed the level switch. Still kept getting FH error so I replaced the flow meter. Same issue. Called Sears and had a tech come out, he said the fill valve was bad, so I replaced that. Same problem FH error code. So I replaced the CCU. Still getting the same error code. Hose from tub to level switch is connected and clear. Water is flowing through both hot and cold lines. Drain pump appears to be functioning properly. I am out of ideas and have replaced all of the parts that the service manual says could be causing the FH error code?
1 Answer Hello Larry, If the unit is filling with water the issue could be a stopped up water pressure hose. This can occur in the hose or inside the air dome at the tub end of the hose. Since all parts have been replaced, as long as the new parts were good, the issue will have to be here or in the wiring/connection to the flow meter. Read More...
Edward November 16, 2018 for Model Number GHW9100LW1 The washing machine is completing all cycles, from start to finish with no error codes, but it will not tumble the laundry or spin. I assumed the belt had broken since everything appeared to be working but the basket never turns through a load of laundry. I completed the diagnostic test- C:01 through C:08 with no error codes. I pulled the back off the washer and tested the motor, per the wiring diagram posted inside the cabinet. I have 6.2 ohm at 1-2, 2-3 and 1-3. I would have expected an error code if the MCU went bad. Any thoughts? Is there a way to test the MCU?
1 Answer Edward, The only thing you could do to check the MCU is to make sure that there is 120 vac going into the MCU and power out of the MCU. This issue does sound like it will be a MCU error. Read More...
Rich July 05, 2018 for Model Number 11047081600 Hello, I have a Kenmore 11047081600 HE5t. I've been getting an F25 error code, during the spin cycle on most mode selections. However, once the error code is set and the Washer is shut down, turning the power off and back on, then selecting express wash usually finishes the cycle, unless it is a second or third batch of wash with little time to sit in the off time... I have checked the drive motor tachometer resistance which should be approx. 115 ohms. However, it measures approx.192 ohms. The windings measure approximately 6.2 ohms between the motor pins 1,2 and 3. I have also check wire harness connections between the drive motor and the Motor Control Unit (MCU), and between the MCU and the Central Control Unit (CCU). all check out fine. Does the high ohms on the motor tachometer indicate a need to replace the motor? What about testing the MCU, how do I do that? Thanks!
1 Answer Rich, based on the ohms reading on the tachometer, you will need to replace the drive motor, part number [WP8182793] Read More...
Gerardo M October 29, 2017 for Model Number MHW6000XG2 I have a Maytag MHW6000XG2, serial C20750078 and it shows errors E01 and F01. What is the meaning of these errors. Is there any part that I need to replace to fix it? Thank you for your help
1 Answer Gerardo, The F1 E1 would be a CCU error and you will want to check electrical outlet for damage, A power surge may have caused the issue and this will most likely be a faulty main control board W10427972. Read More...
Brad October 18, 2017 for Model Number 11045872400 I am wondering if I need either the Control Unit or Motor control unit. Regardless of what wash cycle I choose, the cycle rarely completes a cycle without the unit either flashing FH or the water will not shut off during the spin, so the washer stays in a low spin cycle until I pause it, shut the water off and reactivate the washer. It then finishes properly, as long as I keep the water shut off. Sometimes there is some water remaining in the tank even after the spin cycle. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Brad, This can be caused by the pressure switch WPW10514214 or the machine control board WP8182687. Read More...
