He3 Won't start - lock door or start water flow, although dispay works with no error

I have a Kenmore He3 that will not lock the door or start any cycle selected.  The cycle indicator flashes, but pushing the start button has no effect.  There are no error codes displayed, and all display controls seem to function.  The washer will not do anything beyond display options selected on the control panel.

    Same thing - door closes, all seems well, no error codes but the cycle selection flashes and the washer won't start.

    Same thing. Everyting looks normal but the door doesn't lock and the machine cycle doesn't start. How hard is it to replace the switch?

    I get an error code of DL, meaning the door won't lock. It keeps clicking for about 10 seconds, as if trying to lock. Then sure enough, it beeps and displays the DL code. I'm so frustrated I'd like to put a brick through it.

Kenmore Elite HE3 Error FH I forgot to turn the water hoses on when I started a load. The FH error sounded at 33 minutes of a 45 minute cycle. I can't reset the machine now. It is stuck. It is unplugged....

according to kenmore, you should press the "pause/cancel" button twice and it should release it.  it may also have locked up the CCU, central control module and might need to be replaced.

I cant get my kenmore elite he3 washer to start keep getting dl F error

Possible causes: (power off the mains first before checking)
Door lock mechanism is broken or removed from door.
Door switch/lock unit failure.
1. Check door switch/lock unit.
2. Check the wire harness connections of the door switch/lock unit to the Central Control Unit (CCU). The wires shd be secured well.

Kenmore Elite HE3 washer door will not open

The error code F-02 on the Kenmore HE3 means that the drain pump could not pump out all the water within 8 minutes. Not sure what this has to do with the door being locked,, but its also possible that if the machine thinks there is still water in the drum, or if in fact there is still water in the drum that it would keep the door locked as some sort of safety precaution

Kenmore elite he3 - door lock

If sound like a lid switch issue. Open the top of the washer to get an access to the lid switch(located near the doorframe). Look for a loose wire or a broken switch. In case there is no loose wire or broken switch, you should replace the switch. Good luck!
