If you encounter any of these error codes, it’s advisable to consult your washer’s manual or contact Kenmore customer support for further assistance.
If your Kenmore washer is running cycles in reverse, there could be a few possible reasons for this:
Control Board Malfunction: The control board is responsible for regulating the washer’s functions, including the direction of the motor. If it malfunctions, it could cause the washer to run in reverse.
Wiring Issues: Loose or damaged wiring could cause the motor to run in reverse or cause other erratic behavior.
Faulty Motor: If the motor is faulty, it might not be responding correctly to the signals from the control board, causing it to run in reverse.
Mechanical Issues: There could be mechanical issues within the washer, such as a faulty transmission or clutch, causing it to run in reverse.
It’s best to consult a professional technician to diagnose and fix the problem, as working with electrical components can be dangerous if you’re not experienced.
