IT wont start washing
if it fills with water or has filled and wont go any further then suspect the door switch< latch assembly has switch> if it doesn't fill then possibly water valve not working,if neither of these seem accurate then please give more info
Hard, unidentifiable substance in washer
with almost all front load washers you have to remember to run clean cycles due to moisture in unit and door constantly closed they get mold and mildew along with debris from washing it can leave very strange looking deposits on the front rubber area because it collects these things.Suggest running unit with bleach and no clothes several times to get rid of foreign matter inside and leave door open after to dry interior out overnite and one more bleach cycle in morning and should be good to go after.Refer to manual from this point how often to running clean cycle.

This is a very simple repair, if you follow the step-by-step instructions. Take your time and if you have questions, let me know. I hope this helps you.
PS An alternative method is to work through the door with the front panel in place, but this limits access. To make things easier, it is strongly recommended that you remove the front panel.
Whirlpool HE3T washer
To unlock the door:
1) Take off bottom access panel on front of washer. (3 screws hold it on the bottom)
2) Reach up between the cabinet and the front weights on the tub. You will feel a small plastic ring hanging down. It's a bit of a way up, (the bottom of the cabinet is at about my elbow, it's easiest to lay on the floor and look up, you might even be able to see it)
3) Pull that small ring and it will release the door lock.
Good luck. Let me know if you get stuck.

Removal of front panel HE3 kenmore washer
Follow these steps:
1. Remove the three screws in the back of the machine that holds the top of the washer on. The top case should slide back and then lift off.
2. With the dispenser tray off, remove the torx screw behind it.
3. Now take a putty knife and gently place it under the console just above the door. Gently lift up and pull the console from the left hand side first. It should gradually pop off. Be careful not to damage any of the wire connectors. Lay the console across the top of the washer.
4. Remove door by removing the hinge screws. Support the door while loosening so that it doesn't fall.
5. Feel around behind the rubber door boot at the door opening. There will be a wire retaining hoop holding the rubber boot to the door frame. Find the tension spring at the bottom of the door and pull the hoop out of the groove.
6. Pull door boot off the door frame opening and push it inside the drum. DO NOT remove the boot from the wash tub.
7. Remove the three screws holding the door latch assembly to the front of the washer.
8. The only thing left holding the front of the washer on is four screws. One on each corner at the top and one on each corner at the bottom.
Once you remove the last four screws the front of the washer will come right off. I now this seems very involved, but it is simple if you follow the steps given. Reassemble everything in reverse order. Use care when handling the wire harness of the console and the door. Make sure you put the door latch assembly back on FIRST before you reinstall the rubber boot. When reinstalling the door boot reseat the gasket all the way around the door frame first. Then take the wire hoop and reinsert in the groove starting at the 12 o'clock position and work your way around to the 4 and 8 o'clock positions. You might want to have a second person assist you with holding the hoop in place at this point. With tension holding the hoop into the groove, take the remaining portion of the wire hoop and pull down while spreading the tension spring apart to snap it back into place along the bottom of the door. This will be your greatest challenge. The console will snap back into place by inserting the bottom edge first then snapping the top into place. Let me know if you need further assistance. I hope this helps you.

I don't know if this will help or not, but my machine has gone through (2) fill valve assemblies so far. In one case, it wouldn't fully shut-off and was also erratic. I replaced it (very easy to do) and that fixed the problem. I think my machine is an HE2, but I'd guess it's probably the same parts... (Parts available through the Sears web site. The last one I bought was around $55 for the assembly.)

The du error code relates to door/lid that cannot unlock.
Check that there is no excessive weight on the lid.
In case this is not the issue, you should check the lid switch unit.
Good luck !
Replace lid switch on kenmore washing machine top load model #110.24962301
Thats a simple one to replace. Unplug unit. Take a putty knife and release clips that secure console to top. They are located on each front corner of console. Raise lid. Unplug harness from switch. Take ground screw out that is part of switch assembly. Release plastic tab that holds switch in place and remove switch. Install and snap into place new switch with lid open. Put ground screw back in place and plug harness back into place. Lower lid and then raise and listen for clicking noise. Put console back in place. That’s it.
