What to do when your Sears Canada Kenmore washer won't start

If the washer is getting power but doesn't start, the switch that senses whether the lid or door is shut or locked might have failed. A failed timer, main electronic control board, user interface board or motor control board can also prevent the washer from starting.

Washers with an electronic control system often signal an error code on the display when the washer won't start. If your washer display signals a code, use our washer error code charts to determine the cause of the code and fix the problem.

Troubleshooting your Sears Canada washer when it won't fill

If your washer doesn't fill with water, first check that the house water supply to the washer is on. If it is, and the washer won't fill at all, the inlet valves might have failed. If the washer fills partially, the problem is likely with the temperature selector switch or water-level pressure switch. If the washer agitates without filling, then the pressure switch is likely broken because it's detecting the full tub of water when the tub is empty.
