Hi there I suggest that some machines have that white ball to stop water from syphoning out of the machine when on a wash cycle but your problem is either a blocked pump, (try and take the pump off as some debris will go past the filter and stop the impeller from turning hence no water being pumped out) or a kinked outlet hose which can easily happen when you push the machine back into it's place in the kitchen. I'm not too conversant with your make of machine but in general all machines are basically the same. If you can't hear the pump spinning then it may be something more like one of the circuit boards may have failed.

To recall an error code:

• Wake the machine by pressing any button
• Wait 5 seconds
• Press and hold the Start and Pause Cancel buttons simultaneously
• All LEDs will go blank and after a few seconds the control will signal the stored code using audible beeps and blinking LEDs. The control will repeatedly signal the code, as long as the Start and Pause Cancel buttons are pressed. A two-second pause between repeats affords you the ability to make accurate counts to identify the correct error codes.

• Hope this helps. When mine didn't spin it was the door switch, I ordered the part from Lowe's and it was an easy fix.

The F33 error code indicates a pump drive system error. If the pump ohms out correctly & the harness is secure I recommend replacing the CCU (central control unit).

Remember to disconnect power to the washer before attempting access.

Thanks for using FixYa&^%%$

Seems that the controller thinks your machine is full of water. Water level pressure sensor may be sticky. May be blockage down air line to pressure sensor - try blowing into sensor end to clear.
(Always disconnect from power before attempting repairs).

IF you take the panel off the is below the door, there is a drain plug and you should take it out. YOU will get lots of WATER. Be ready. Clean this out and try again. The issue is most likely the water solenoid valve is bad or the board that controls it is bad. You can also find the tech sheet when you look for the drain. It has all the tests that you can run.

Whirlpool-made Front Loading such as the Kenmore Elite washing machines use a door lock and switch assembly having a tab that can be pulled manually for emergency opening of the door. This tab can be accessed with the removal of the lower front access panel. Disconnect power to the washer and drain the water from the tub before accessing it.

Remove the three screws attaching the lower front access panel to the cabinet then pull the panel down and off the cabinet. You can prop up the bottom front edge of the washer or cushion and lean it against the wall to access and remove the screws more easily.

Once the panel is off, reach up along the inside of the front panel and locate the bottom of the door lock and switch assembly on the right side. Locate the tear-drop shaped tab then gently pull it down until a click is heard, and then open the door.


The door lock and switch assembly may need to be replaced if the problem persists. The replacement procedure is here.

Some Whirlpool-made Front Loading such as the Kenmore Elite use another type of door lock and switch assembly but still with the release tab and can be accessed through the washer top. Remove the screws attaching the top panel to the rear of the machine then pull the panel rearward and off the cabinet. Pull the release tab until a click is heard then open the door.

Does it have a code...the access panel in on the front..above the drawers..screws are under so look for them...also go to their web site Kenmore.com and the have a help section.

There's no reason you couldn't just put powder HE detergent on top of the clothes before you wash. The water will still run through the soap dispenser

To open the door when locked. Start new wash cycle and the door will lock - unlock then lock again. when it unlocks open the door quick.

im sorry to say but your main control board to the machine is now defunct aka broken you can find the ecb at marcone appliance online and they will mail you the part directly to your front door hope this helps sorry about the bad news

hi faulty controller not enough time given to the drain pump to empty

By what you have stated, it sounds like a lid switch failure. The lid switch has to be closed for the drain and spin cycle on your washer. If the lid switch is faulty, it will act as if the lid is not closed. On this model, make sure the lid hinge screws are tight. If the screws are loose, the hinge might not activate the lid switch. A quick check you can do is to jump the lid switch and see if it will drain. If the washer operates, the lid switch needs to be replaced. To jump the lid switch you need to unplug the washer and open the console. I have provided you with the instructions for opening the console below. Once you have the console open, locate the connector for the lid switch. Place an insulated jumper between the gray and tan wires. Not the green it is a ground and will cause a short. After inserting the jumper make sure it will not touch anything metal, plug the washer in. Start the washer in a drain cycle. If the washer drains and spins, you need to replace the lid switch. Do not leave the jumper in while you are waiting for the part. The jumper is only of the test. To you replace the lid switch you have to remove the cabinet of the washer. The instructions for that are also in the image below. Once the cabinet is removed you can take the screws out securing the lid switch and remove the harness from the clips along the underside of the cabinet. Then reinstall the lid switch in the reverse order. Before you reassemble the cabinet, please read the instructions for installing the cabinet provided in the image. I hope this is helpful.
