If front loader washer quit spinning, check the wax motor switch. You can make a temporary fix by providing a short on the door lock contact. The Kenmore 417.29042992 front load washer provides a test connector that's readily accessible behind the front lower panel. Insert a wire between connector pins 1 and 2 (red and white/red color wires) and your washer should spin during the spin cycle. Hopes this helps.

1. Remove the lower panel under the door by loosening the three screws
under the bottom edge on the front of the washer. HINT: If you prop up
the front feet of the washer with some small blocks of wood, this will
make access to the screws much easier.
2. With the screws removed,
the lower panel should drop down then come off. If the panel sticks, a
light tap on either side will knock it loose.
3. Reach your hand up
inside the washer behind the front casing on the right-hand side. This
is where the door latch assembly is located.
4. At the bottom of the
door latch assembly is a small pull tab. This is the manual release for
the door. Pull the tab straight down and the door will come open.
Sometimes
these doors will not unlock for whatever reason. If there are no error
codes being generated, this could have just been a momentary glitch. If
you see "Fdl" or "Fdu" error codes, these are usually indications of a failed door latch assembly and will require replacement.

yes!! the F/11 is triggered under high voltage conditions like high speed spinning. The part is called the MCU motor control unit. if it goes into failure while using your machine and locks the door, just wait 3 minutes and the door will unlock after the MCU resets. Try using you machine with a low speed spin for awhile.

Manually Unlocking the Door Lock System
1. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
2. Remove the lower kick panel.
3. Reach up along the inside of the front and locate the
bottom of the door switch/lock unit.
4. Located on the bottom of the door switch/lock unit is a
tear-drop shaped tab.
5. Gently pull the tab down about a ¼" or until a click is
heard.
6. The door may be opened.
