Kenmore Washer Repair – Akron, OH (110. 28002010)

We received a call from Akron, OH about a Kenmore washer that does not complete the cycle. Our diagnostic revealed multiple fault codes pointing to control board failure, prompting us to recommend replacement over repair.

The Problem

The customer reported their Kenmore washer does not complete the cycle. They mentioned it won’t operate unless they repeatedly unplug the cord and reset it.

Diagnosis

Upon inspection, we found multiple error codes: F7E5 Shifter fault, F1E2 Motor control fault, F0E5 Off balance, and F7E6 motor fault. Despite these codes, I was able to get the washer to manually operate in the normal cycles. The pattern of faults and the need for constant unplugging indicated the control board is bad.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: No parts used
• Work performed: Diagnostic testing and manual cycle operation
• Result: Multiple control faults confirmed, replacement recommended

Is It Worth Repairing?

For this older Kenmore washer showing multiple control board faults, replacement makes more sense than repair. Control boards for these units often cost as much as a new washer, and when multiple systems are failing simultaneously, it typically indicates the appliance is reaching end of life.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Washers

• Keep the washer level to prevent off-balance errors that stress the control system
• Use HE detergent in proper amounts to avoid excess suds that can trigger fault codes
• Leave the door open after cycles to prevent moisture buildup that can damage electronics
