Kenmore Washer Repair – Homeworth, OH (796.41162410)

A customer in Homeworth called for service on their Kenmore washer that was not working again, showing a PF error code and retaining water. We discovered the issue was actually the electrical cord being bumped loose from the wall outlet when the washer moved during cycles.

The Problem

The customer reported their washer was not working again, displaying a PF error code and retaining water inside the tub.

Diagnosis

It appeared that the washing machine was bumping the electrical cord and causing it to disconnect from the wall outlet. This intermittent power loss triggered the PF (power failure) code and left the washer unable to complete its drain cycle.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: None
• Work performed: Rearranged the washer position so it will not bump the electrical cord
• Result: No charge for service

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Kenmore washer model is generally reliable when positioned properly. Since this issue required no parts and was resolved with a simple repositioning, it’s definitely worth keeping in service. Most electrical connection problems like this are easy fixes that don’t indicate underlying mechanical problems.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Washers

• Ensure adequate clearance around the unit to prevent cord damage from vibration movement
• Check that the washer is level and all feet are properly adjusted to minimize movement during spin cycles
• Periodically inspect the power cord for any signs of wear or damage from appliance movement
