My Kenmore Front Loader will not spin in the final spin cycle. The pump comes on and drains the water, however it will not spin.
I have searched many sites/threads and seem to find that a common problem is the control board going bad. When I look up the parts listing for my washer, there are two boards. One is called control board. It is located in the top of the washer and has all the LED’s and buttons attached to it. The other is called control board, motor. It is located in the back bottom right hand corner of the washer.
Each part is >$100 and I dont want to buy the wrong one. The error code I think I am getting is E41 - control board thinks the door switch is open.
I have also come across a wax switch problem on other threads.
Anyone know a way for me to isolate the bad part without wasting money on the wrong part?
If it’s a board it will be the motor controller (the one at the bottom). If the door is locking htat is most likely your problem. You can try to confirm by removing the motor control board. sometimes a resistor will actual burn making the diagnosis a no brainer, but not always. I know I’d feel better about spending the money with a confirmed diagnosis.
If not burned, reinstall board and try the step by step for no motor movement on the touble sheet located in the lower part of hte washer. To do this you will need a volt meter.
The Frigidaire Gallery gas dryer we purchased in 2001 has a moisture sensing feature. On that setting it will turn the dryer off when the clothes are dry. It has stopped working, but the timer still works properly. I see online a part # ap3220652 which might have something to do with this problem but do not know if this should be my first step or if there is some other part or loose connection that might be at fault. It is a stacked unit, and the washer was repaired in December. Something may have been jostled, but the sensor has been working until two weeks ago. Is this a user serviceable problem?
