Thanks...I just watch your video and found out THERE"S A FILTER DOWN THERE!". I was always vacuuming the water out before proceeding with the rinse. It took 12 years to figure this out. The filter looked like a core sample of our pockets' life....Thanks!!!
I don't know why Kenmore decided to hide a filter the way they did but it is a good idea to clean it out every once in awhile. Thanks for watching.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Our filter had 11 years of "kids" in it...from fabric, to coins, to plastic BBs. I don't know how the washer continued to function. I very much appreciate you making this video. What a time and money saver!!!!
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching.
Wifey tried to wash a heavy blanket and a towel from a beach trip yesterday. We got the SUDS error and then it went to F21. I thought it was just that the machine couldn't handle the amount of water from these heavy items. Couldn't get the F21 error to clear so to CZcams I went! This video probably just saved me from at least a $100 service call. I have a HE3t. Used my little T20 torx socket with my drill and took the cover off. I didn't even need to prop it up (although that would help get to the screws). Took out out the drain basket and found a penny and what looked like the remnants of a pen. Cleaned it, put it back in, and right now we are back in business. funbro1 you, sir, are a rockstar! Thank you!
Joseph Chavez Thanks for watching, glad you were able to use the video to help.
This LITERALLY was 100% perfect step by step. I just cleaned mine out... I didn't even need to re-watch this video. Your instructions were perfect, found a few items, coins, pen inserts, dress shirt collar stems...etc. Now it's draining perfectly!!! You absolutely have a new follower, thank you, sir!
Thanks for watching. Glad it helped.
Bloody hell. I've had this exact washer for over 15 years and never knew this. Just now checked my owners manual and there's no mention of this. I can't wait to see what I find in there tomorrow.
You may be surprised what you find.
Thanks for watching.
Dude. Nice. Cleaned mine out and not only does the washer work like a champ, but I found a Finski and 2 one dollar bills. Also about 2 bucks in change. I'm a hero to the wife and can now get a sixer without raising any alarms. Whoo hoo!
Awesome! Thanks for watching
Nice..got booze AND the wife was happy...bet u got u some nice lovin' too
Yup, a friend told me the same thing last night. So I invested in a small shopvac and took about 7 gal out before I started. That made the drainage manageable. Washer is on drain/spin right now -- I'm back in business! Thanks SO much for doing stuff like this!
Thanks so much for this video. It helped us resolve an F02 error on our washer. We had some coins, foam ear plugs (from my job), and a golf tee in the trap. I didn't think this would be enough to totally plug the flow -- so I also squeezed the flexible hose from the drum to the drain trap and one of my daughters small socks slowed oozed out. Fingers crossed that that resolved our problem.
Thanks! I had no idea where to find the drain filter on my washer. This video guided me through the process and now everything is working properly.
Thanks for watching.
Yo - Thanks a million for your step by step instructions. Also, thanks so much for including the nut driver size. I could not fiqure what size to use. Before watching your video, I took pictures of the screw to ask Home Depot for help. It too me about 10 minutes to get the drain out, clean it (broken pencils, $1.95 in coins and a ton of smelling lint) and to put it back in. We saved about $200 from not calling Sears to come out Thanks again and God bless.
My drain basket was compacted with sooo much stuff, lint, key, bunch of change, baby sock and collar stays. Thanks to this video, my washer works and didn't have to a pay a maintenance technician to clean it.
I also found a bunch of things in mine one time when I cleaned it out. Glad to hear that this video helped. Thanks for watching.
YAY!!!! THANK U! THANK U! THANK U!!!! I just fixed my washer myself!! Plus found $1,50 in change, that missing sock and several other unidentifiable objects!! I never knew that drain trap was there. I will be checking it periodically from now on!! Thank u again! You saved me $65 service fee!!
That's awesome.Glad to hear that n the video helped. Thanks for watching.
I used this video's instructions to clean out the trap on an HE4t, and it worked great. Thank you!
Glad to hear that it helped, Thanks for watching.
Your videos are very informative, thank you. I have this exact kenmore elite 3 and sure didn't want to replace it when I could fix the issues myself thanks to your videos. I didn't know either that there was a filter there.
It does seem like they could have put the filter in a more convenient location, if you ask me. Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching.
We were having problems with our washer. I was able to fix it thanks to your video. Wanted to thank you for sharing!! 😊
Great to hear! Thanks for watching.
WOW! Thank you so much for sharing this info. I thought, since no filter was conspicuously accessible, that there was none. Thanks much!
Jon Sherry It's kinda crazy how they hide something like this that should be cleaned out. Thanks for watching
Totally... those asshole designers! I gotta check mine out ASAP !!! I’ve had the damned thing for 15 years and never checked it.
Thanks for this video! Very easy to follow, I found lint, grit, and about $4 in change and a few misc pieces of electronics that someone left in their pocket.. cleaned it all out and everything was happy again. The hardest part for me was dealing with all the water that poured out since it didn't drain at all, a few towels was barely enough.
C Norden Good to get all the junk out of there. Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much! Your instructions were clear and easy to understand. I really appreciate you because I didn't have time to make an appointment for someone to come out and fix the machine. I had an old down comforter explode in the wash. It's running like new, thanks again!
I am glad the video was able to help you, thanks for watching.
Wow I have a 15 year old Kenmore and just watched a video of someone showing how to clean your a front load washing machine and obviously had a different brand machine because his machine had the filter in a very obvious place. My husband checked all around the machine and found nothing. I got out the manual and there was no mention of a filter that needed to be cleaned. I can just imagine what must be in there after 15 years. Thank you for your information now to tell my husband. He's not the best at mechanical type things, but you made it look easy. If I wasn't disabled I would try it myself. :)
It is amazing how much it can accumulate. Thanks for watching.
YIKES! Never cleaned this on my HE3T in 17 years. I guess I can add this to my weekend chore list...
Thanks for the info!
You may be surprised what you find in there. Thanks for watching.
What did you end up finding, lol
@@c.george7451 I'm embarrassed to say that I got distracted by life and totally forgot about it. I just made myself a Post-It note. I'll report back once I finally do this (eventually!).
funbro1, thank you for this GREAT lesson and trouble shoot. This was NOT in my manual because they don't want you to take wrenches to your machine. This little tip you provided saved me a bunch of money! YOU'RE THE MAN! Thanks you again Bro!
DeepSeaDog Just imagine the money spent on service calls that they get for something so simple...I love saving money. Thanks for watching.
Great informative video, thank you very much for posting. This helped me troubleshoot my washer, clean it, and get it back up running. Calling a company just to troubleshoot would have been about $120. GREAT VIDEO again, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Thanks for watching.
I have the He4T but it was the same place. Best video on how to clean the basket I found.
+James Kuffner Thank you
Great instructions! VERY clear and they make it easy to do. Washer is now working again.
Yeah this is an easy fix that I think Kenmore should include in their instructions.
I’m hoping ! Thanks for this! Guys like you really do a great service to consumers!
Thanks for watching.
I fixed my Kenmore elite washer after watching this! I had a pen, sock, and nail clippers clogging my drain. Thanks for the quick guide. Definitely have to prop it up with some wood to get that bottom middle screw with a drill.
I find it interesting what kind of things that are found in that basket. Glad you were able to use the video, Thanks for watching.
Normally I'd do a video of this but you covered it so well, there's nothing more I can add. My owners manual made no mention of a screen, and technician manuals are hard to come by on the 'net. This told me all I needed to know, remove three screws and find the basket. If only manufacturers were more forthcoming.
So true, that would be nice if manufacturers would help just a little bit. Thanks for watching
. We were getting the same error code. so just did this on our EE 4T. The thing was packed full! Ran a cycle now works like a charm! THANK YOU!!!
That is GREAT to hear. Thanks for watching.
Many thanks man! Saved me a ton of money and it was simple. There was a sock infused with a whole bunch of other stuff. Washer seems to be running perfect now. Really appreciate the vid.
Tomi Oduyemi That's awesome! Glad it helped, Thanks for watching.
Such an awesome video! We bought our washer from my sister who has a large family. Found so much lint and a battery! Hopefully this will help with the gross smell we've been smelling from the washer! Thank you again!
Angelique Kearney There is a good possibility it may help, if not you could always use a shop vac to suck out any of the gunk that may be left. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for this video! It was super helpful and our washer is healthy again!
Hilda Ho That's great! Thanks for watching
Thank you, easy to do and should fix the suds problem we were seeing.
I'm glad to hear that it helped, that's great. My son put some rubber bands in his pocket and they went through the wash. They came out and were caught in the basket. Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for this video, now my washer is running again.
+Elizabeth P That's great, thanks for watching.
Thank you, great video! You saved me hundreds of dollars in repair bills!
Glad to help
I have a different Kenmore model, got the F21 error, and found this fix. Perfect solution, all better, thanks
Best part is not calling the repairman and saving lots of money. Awesome!
Thats great! I'm glad to hear that it helped. Thanks
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! God only knows what I will find when I do this tomorrow in the daylight. I've been wondering where it was for ages.
talking about other easier methods that are not applicable for 30 sec is a great way to start a video.
I glad you agree, that is the reason I started it that way because I thought it would be great. Thanks for watching.
Thank you! This was exactly what i needed to solve my problem!
Glad to help, Thanks for watching
This was very helpful for me as well. I have the Kenmore Elite HE4T which was giving the F11 code.
Glad to hear, thanks for watching.
you help me so much, i tried to find out this filter for my he5t, and now i know what should i do 😂 thanks you
Thanks for watching.
thanks for sharing and providing the type and size of the tools to use to remove the screws.
Huge help. Saved me a lot of money! Also, I found some change, a dollar bill, and a sock.
Sarah Messer It's kinda funny the things that are found, it makes me wonder how things makes it down that far. Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for this, I just fixed my mom washer and it felt o so good!
Awesome, thanks for watching.
Glad to hear that the video helped...even at night :-)
Thank you! Our washer was having issues and this was the fix. Oh the crap that I pulled out of that trap. Whew.
Jeremy Gregory Glad the video helped. It is amazing the things that can work their way into this area.
Thank you. Very easy to understand you and the rights tools always help. You video made feel I could really do it myself.
Glad it helped, Thanks for watching.
This video saved me! Thank you for posting! I had a shoulder pad stuck in the side and some money and a bobby pin in the trap. I'm having trouble replacing the cover, but at least the machine is running.
Eileen Lisk It is amazing what will find it's way down there isn't it.Thanks for watching.
Thanks!! We were getting the SUDS error even with tiny amounts of HE detergent - also the occasional FO2 error. Didn't know there was a filter-duh!!. It was completely clogged with two stain catcher sheets. Tons of black sludge - just the same as a clogged sink drain. Used shop vac to vacuum the water as it drained out as I unscrewed the filter. About one hour of my labor and probably saved hundreds in labor. I was also thinking maybe a new machine. All is good!!
Good to hear, thanks for watching.
Wow! Very helpful now I know where the filter is located, Thanks so much
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
You just saved me $500 from buying a new washer. Thank you.
Awesome, got to love saving money.
Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for this step-by-step guide, especially about the nut driver size. My 8-year-old daughter and I were able to do it ourselves, and apart from saving us a minimum of $75 service call, we felt so proud! We got a new nut driver set out of the deal, too, which I think will come in handy, too. Grateful Mom & daughter
That is AWESOME!
Got it, very easy fix thank you.
Thanks for watching.
I couldn't wait until daylight. Took it apart, found stones, gunk and a safety pin. Cleaned it out, dusted the insides, and it's good as new!
WOW problem solved thanks to you! Thank you
Thanks for watching.
Hurray. I did it. Thank you again.
Thanks for watching.
My man. Ty for the help!
Thanks for watching
Thanks man. This really helped
Thanks for watching.
This was SUPER helpful as an entire pen had broken, tons of changes and bobby pins. Really easy to follow. I have one issue though. When I plug in the washer, it blows the reset switch on the outlet now. Has to be related as it did not happen until after I took off the filter. It ran for a moment but only blows it now so the door is also latched on it. I let it all dry over night in case water was conducting somewhere but still doing it. Any suggestions?
this also works on the Kenmore Elite HE5t, which is the remove the lower front panel. takes 10 minutes to find the sock that has been missing for months or maybe a shorter period of time. :-)
Thank you for this video! Cheers!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching.
hello my washer had the same problem, but a pen was lodged into the black pump that is connected to the drain basket, i need to replace that pump but im not sure what it is called? great video!
thanks so much for this great video. Found a pen and a metal barrette. TONS of WATER comes out so get lots of towels ready!!
Yeah, towels are a must. Thanks
Saved the day!
Excellent! Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the great tip! Any thoughts on why it appears that the dispenser for the fabric softener is not draining/clearing out? I have taken the slide in and out unit out, disassemble it and cleaned it. Would appreciate any insight you might have.
Robert Ginder I have heard of this problem before, try mixing a little water with your softener when putting it in the dispenser. This has worked in the past, hope it works for you. Thanks for watching.
Very helpful thanks
Thanks for watching.
Thanks a million! Worked great and pretty simple. Disgusting, but simple. Long overdue...
Alisa Morrison I'm glad you were able to use the video to help get it done. Thanks for watching.
Thank you! I couldn't figure out how to get to the filter on this machine. The tube my filter connects to also appears to be gross. Do you have recommendations for getting to/cleaning the hose the filter connects to?
Sounds like you will need some kind of small brush that can reach.
Thanks for watching.
THANKS!
Great video! I just bought a used Quiet pak4 HE3t and will be attending to the filter within a few days.
I do have an issue, however. I get an F20 error within 10 min of starting a load. I checked the water hose screens, which were quite clear. While I have enough flow at the faucet, there is so little water being admitted that the detergent remains completely dry and unused. I pulled the top to observe a cycle and noticed that after the door locks, a servo motor moves a plenum vane to #1 position and the water solenoid begins admission, which ends after 1 sec. The door unlocks, relocks, at which the servo moves the plenum to its max #4 position, then back down through #1, almost to a physical stop, ending up at #2, at which time the cycle starts as already stated.
Is this normal, or is a problem indicated?
TIA
+psycotria I've never looked into that area of the machine. I know there is usually a lot going on there so it is possible that what you describe is normal.
perfect instruction! save a repair call for a few minutes work!!
Awesome, save that money. Thanks for watching
Socks... and legos... Great video and tip. What a difference! Thanks!
Karl Fosburg What a great find! That could save your washer. Thanks for watching.
good video thank you
Thanks for watching.
I got the F2 error, found out what it was on another site, took off the bottom panel, and let out the water by turning the knob a little. After the water was out I turned the knob further to remove the drain basket . . . and the front of the knob was all that came out. I then found your site to see a photo of the unit, and clearly, just the knob part came off, leaving the basket part jammed in there. That must have happened when I attempted to back off the turn of the knob to reduce the flow of water coming out, and pushed in while turning back. The knob disconnected from the basket (it was really two parts) and the basket jammed in there (presumably on the debris). Well, after scratching my head, I grabbed one of the "fins" that the knob part had covered before with a pair of big pliers and PULLED. Out came the basket, absolutely filled with lint, various broken bits of things, a bottle cap, two socks and $1.06 in change. Sure wish these units came with a little sign on the front suggesting occasional cleanings. I'm going to use a thin, flexible magnet as a "last cleaned on date" reminder. My husband was impressed with my "repair." Thanks so much for the video.
DruhK I agree the manufacturer did not do the users any favors on this model. Some models have a door in front of them that allows easy clean out. Unfortunately this one does not. That's a lot of stuff you found and the good thing is you saved a heafty repair bill. Thanks for watching.
Hi, thanks so much for this -- I'm getting the F02 error on my washer. Never knew it had one of these, and I'll bet the person from whom I bought the house it came with never cleaned it out either. I have one question. There's a fair bit of water in my washer, because I tried the drain/spin a couple of times (2nd time with nothing in the washer) and it added water each time before it errored out. Will ALL that water come out when I open the drain basket?
Good question...
It is very helpful. Also if you include the part number for the drain basket the more it is useful to us.
Try 8182821 280187 for the pump assembly. Hope this helps Thanks for watching.
I just cleaned out and fixed the F21 error, no help need once I watched this video. Great job. Thanks
+Cyndy Lopez Awesome, thanks for watching.
THANK YOU!!
Thanks for watching.
Great video to help us fix our washers with the F02 code. My problem is the front threaded section separated from the basket. Doesn't look broken just like it was designed to pull apart and now getting the basket out is not an easy task. Might need a new one.
You may be able to find one online if you need to get a new one. I wish you the best, thanks for the view.
Your welcome, hope it helped.
I've owned my Kenmore HE5t for years and never knew it had a filter until I thought about it today as I smelled a foul odor while it was washing today. As soon as the wash cycle is done, I'll unscrew the cap and see what's inside 😮
Get ready. You may be surprised. LOL
Thanks for watching.
Hi funbro I know this video is old and don't know if you will see this, but just realized I had a question that I didn't see addressed in the comments. I have my washer mounted on the drawer that was an option that sits under the washing machine. Can you still tip the washer to get at the bottom or do you have to remove the drawer unit first and then proceed? Thank you for your help if you see this comment.
You may have to disconnect the mount to tilt the washer back but you should be able to without taking it off. Thanks for watching.
Have a question I'm hoping you can help me with. I've had my Kenmore HE3 washer for approx 8 yrs now...Never (knock on wood) any problems...ever. And I do a LOT of laundry, although my demand for preventative maintenance forgoes the onset of problems (i.e: checking all pockets before loading in washer; buttoning/zipping up all pants, jackets, etc. - anything that may bang around on the drum; using HE detergent, and so on...). After 8 yrs of being the only one to use my washer, I recently relinquished solo control and well, here I am writing this to you! My friend's son & gf washed a blanket w/out shaking it out that was loaded (I do mean LOADED) w/sand and dog hair-- to the tune of having to take a vacuum to the dryer drum as there was soooo much dog hair and sand in the DRYER. So, what does that say for my WASHER??? I have yet to wash another load as it happened today and have NO idea where to begin looking for any excess sand/hair etc. Again, I'm about preventative maintenance and before I do another load (which really needs to be done tonight), where oh where do I check for damage control??! Thank You -
Well as you can see by watching the video cleaning the drain basket is really a pretty simple task and would definitely fit in the preventative maintenance category. I would recommend this to be your first step. It is worth the time it takes to complete the task. A good amount of sand and dog hair would have run down the drain, that being said any hair that was not rinsed down the drain would be stuck in the holes in the drain basket. Likewise the sand being heavy would land in the lowest part of the washer which is just below the drain basket. If you have a wet and dry vac (with the drain basket removed) use that to clean out the area around and inside where the drain basket lives. This should suck out any hair that may have gotten lodged in the pump area or sand that may have fallen to the lowest point. You could start with a clean vacuum and look in the vacuum after cleaning it out to see if you actually removed anything from the pump area. Just remember to put a towel down before removing the drain basket because you will probably still have a little water in this area. Hope this helps, good luck.
FYI if getting a F02 error-- check this basket AND check the drain tube (on back of washer to wall) -- my drain tube was totally clogged--cleaned it out and working again...
I also did this cleanout too while at it :) but it wasnt my issue...
Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching.
Thank you
Thanks for watching
I removed the rubber washer. Back on flat of washer to rear or front?
I’m not sure what you mean?
Unfortunately the drain basket is the lowest spot on the machine so you should be ready to receive ALL the water that is in the washer. The good news is this may fix your F02 error. I had a similar problem years ago when my son left his pocket full of rubber bands and some of them worked their way into and past the basket area. Good luck hopefully this will solve your issue.
Hello I just cleaned all the gunk and what not which started to work fine, but I still get SUD after a time and later the FO2 appears. I don't know what else to do any ideas? Thank you!
jalisiense68 Try running a cycle or 2 without any detergent in the machine, see if that helps. Thanks for watching.
So I done as per instructions, but one thing I can't get take the cap off any solutions to this minor problem?
mikki keeble The only way it comes off is a 1/4 turn counter clockwise. It does have an o-ring around it that might give you some resistance but that's all there is to it. Just a suggestion: If you are having this hard of a time removing the cap, when you do finally get the cap off (I feel confident you will succeed) Use some Vaseline or faucet grease and work it around the o-ring before putting it back together. This will make it easier to re-install and easier to remove next time. Hope this helps, let us know how it goes.
Hi i have a Kenmore elite h3.. How do i know if or when i need to do this?. I mean should i be doing this on a regular basis ???
It wouldn’t hurt to do this on a regular basis especially if small things are left in
pants pockets, they can find their way into this basket. Better to take a few minutes and check it then you can judge how often you feel is necessary to clean it. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
Hi looking for some help on my dryer it heats up fine and buttons work i can use the timed dry and express dry and it will start just fine but will jump from 58 minutes to like 20 minutes so basically my timer skips and dont know what the heck is going if you can please help thanks. Oh i have a kenmore elite quiet pak h3
Norma Lopez If this happens on timed dry the I would say that your control panel may be the issue but if it happens on sensor dry then a sensor could be the problem. Hope this helps, thanks for watching.
Is there a hose to drain water or not with this model?
No there was not a hose that I saw.
Thanks for watching.
Great video-I followed instructions but my drain was actually clear. Any thoughts on what might be causing my F9 code? Only way for me to finish a load is to shut the water off when I get the code then resume the wash cycle.
Chris Heney An F9 code indicates a clogged pump or pump malfunction. You could start by checking pipes going to the pump to make sure they are all clear, it is possible that something has gotten past the filter basket and made its way into the pump. Also you could check the electrical connections to the pump they could possibly be loose. Most of the time it is something caught in the pump but it could possible be a pump going bad. Hope this helps.
I had that problem and took the top off and had to engage the electrical connections that are right there on top.
It is possible that the pump may be going bad or the impeller is worn. Maybe something is clogged somewhere other than the drain basket. You could try using a wet and dry vac and suck the entire system out, if that doesn't change anything it might be the pump.
I was trying to figure out where mine is leaking underneath. There's a "drip....drip....drip" that comes from which ever corner happens to be the lowest point. I slightly tilted it to each corner and ran a load to see if it would drip at the corner I had set lower than the other 3. Because of it doing this I'm assuming this trap you showed in the video maybe has a leak around the seal and it being close to the front of it like shown in the video is causing it to drip then run around the edge and out of the lowest of the 4 corners. This is what I'm hoping for anyway.
Let's hope that's al it is.
Thanks for watching.
@@funbro1 mine still works and hasn't leaked since btw.
I have a question I have a Kenmore elite HE3T washer the only problem with it is that it won't start i have already clean the drain basket. Please help if you can
If you already cleaned the drain basket and made sure that all the debris were out of the pump area then you must start at the beginning. You did not indicate if you had any lights on or not so I will assume the worst (no lights on). First make sure you have power at the plug then make sure you have power at the machine by testing with a meter. After that I would begin by looking at the door switch because the machine will not start if the door is not closed. If the door switch is broken or bad then the machine will not work. Next would be the pump because the machine will run the pump for a little bit when starting a cycle to remove any water that may be left over. Next check all the wiring, I have had a washer that one of the wires came out of the holder and rubbed up against the drum and after awhile of rubbing against a spinning drum it finally broke the wire. The only way I found this was dissembling the machine to expose the wiring. Worst cast would be your motor or control board and those would be the most expensive to replace. Hopefully this helps, and good luck.
My he3t keeps over filling setting off the FH code. Stops on C05 when running diagnostics and not advancing. Help needed
Sounds like a sensor to me, Hard to diagnose without seeing it.
Mine does it to turn the water off above the washer every time you’re done washing until you fix it
Hi I know this video is posted so long and the chances of you to replying to this question are slim but I was wondering is this something that would help fix the f2 code? It's also throwing SUD
Lol and yet here I am. That was a code I was having when I went to clean out the basket. The problem I found with mine was a rubber band was left in someone’s pocket and fell out during the wash cycle and made its way down to that area and caused it to error. Once I cleaned it out everything worked perfectly so I would not hesitate to try this on yours. Hope the fix is as easy for you as it was for me. Thanks for watching.
@@funbro1 thanks so much for the reply! So I haven't cleaned it out yet because I haven't had the time today. I was also wondering, some times my cycle will go all the way through with out stopping could that still be the issue ?
@@chrislloyd7642 It would be worth the time to try it. Wouldn't hurt.
I feel like I didn't tighten it enough as mine is still leaving. It def worked but it leaks
If it is tight enough and still leaks It is possible that the O ring is damaged. Take it off and check it closely for any damage.
Thanks for watching.
