See this causes and fix it. God bless you
If the washer won't start, check to be sure there is power to the electrical outlet for the home. If that is OK, the power cord itself might be defective. This is rare. You can check the power cord with an Ohm meter for continuity.
If the washer won't start check to see if there is power at the electrical outlet which the washer is plugged into. Plug a lamp or radio into the outlet to check it. If the outlet is dead, check the circuit breakers or fuses for the home.
If the washer won't start the door lock assembly should be checked. The door lock can fail either mechanically or electrically. Test any switches on the door lock with an Ohm meter. The switches should have continuity according to their design.
If the washer won't start the lid switch assembly might be defective. This is a very common problem. The lid switch assembly can fail either mechanically or electrically. Test any electrical switches with an Ohm meter for continuity. The switches should have continuity according to their design.
If the washer won't start the main control board might be defective. This is not common. Check other parts and causes first.
If the washer won't start the line fuse might have blown, or the line fuse holder might be damaged and need to be replaced.
If the washer won't start the thermal fuse may have blown. It can be tested for continuity. Watch our fuse testing video for more information.
If the washer won't start the line fuse might have blown.
If the washer won't start the timer might be defective. This part is often misdiagnosed, check other components before replacing this timer.
If the washer won't start, the user control and display board may be defective. Check for power to the washer first.

Hello, welcome to FixYa.

I will start by saying your post indicates it is a Kenmore washer, however if you could post the complete model number and the approximate age I can speak directly about your's instead of generalizing.


Hopefully you can appreciate there are many differences even within the Kenmore brand. On most the flashing light error indicates a "door open" scenario has occurred, (obviously it isn;t...right ?) but I'll need to clarify the model number before detailing much of course. I'll watch for your reply before moving forward.

Thank you for choosing FixYa.

Regards,

Macmarkus :)

How to fix my washer machine ,never stops running,after finish washing,starts with the cycles again by it self

The first thing you might try (if not already done) is to unplug the washer and let it sit for a minute or two. Then plug it in and try again. Maybe a good reset of the logic board will do something.
Does this happen regardless of the cycle chosen? What if you choose spin only? Do the cycle status lights work correctly? At the end of the cycle, before it starts again, does the "cycle complete" light come on?
This problem is likely to be a faulty logic board. Sears may be able to supply one. Perhaps your unit is under warranty.

Kenmore HE2 washer will not automatically advance through all the cycles

I had this same /similar problem with my machine and found that the micro-computer board on the top rear near the cover of the machine are very prone to having bad electrical contacts on the board where the wire connectors go. The answer simply was to remove this board and add solder to each and every solder pad that goes to the connectors. The board is not bad (defective) just poor electrical connections.The repairman probably just wiggled the 1 with the issue and it worked for you for months as described! Perhaps you could get away with just disconnecting the electrical connectors and plugging them back in -it could buy you some more time before fixing it permanently with solder!

Good Luck!

UL in digital display coming on during wash cycle. When washer is spinning during wash cycle it is very loud and the washer moves. We have had it repaired a couple of times. It will work for several...

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. ULis displayed when the machine/motor control detects an off-balance load, and is steady on while the washer runs a mini-cycle to rebalance the load.
• Display clears if mini-cycle successfully rebalanced the load.
• If the mini-cycle is unsuccessful, uL will flash until the door lid is opened, allowing the customer to view and redistribute the load. Please do rate the solution if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further assistance.


Thanks
