Kenmore 417 model front-load washer error codes

Drain the water out of the washer. Unplug the washer and check the outer tub for cracks or leaks such as water dripping from the bottom of the washer tub or a hose. Replace the tub if leaking. If you find no water leaks, check the water level pressure sensor air hose for air leaks. Replace the air hose if it leaks. If the hose doesn't leak, replace the water level pressure sensor because it's not detecting the water level in the washer.

Some models have a magnetic reed switch in the dispenser drawer housing that detects whether the dispenser drawer is closed. If the drawer is closed, check to see if the magnet on the bottom side of the drawer is in place. Replace the magnet if necessary. Replace the reed switch if it's defective.

Check your house's washer drain and the washer's drain hose for clogs and clear any clogs found. Unplug the washer and check the drain pump for a clog. If the drain path is clear, the drain pump usually needs replacing.

The drain pump relay on the control board failed. Replace the electronic control board.

The drain pump relay on the control board failed. Replace the electronic control board.

This error is only on models with a digital display. Unplug the washer and check the wire harness connections between the water level pressure sensor and the control board. If the wiring connections are sound, the water level pressure sensor usually needs to be replaced.

This error is only on models with a digital display. If the washer is actually overfilling, check the inlet water fill valves to see if they are shutting off the inlet water flow properly. If they are defective, replace the water inlet valve assembly. If the washer isn't overfilling, the water-level pressure sensor usually needs to be replaced.

Unplug the washer and check the wiring harness connections between the door lock assembly and the electronic control board. Reconnect any loose wires or replace the wire harness if damaged. If the wire connections are okay, the door lock assembly usually needs replacing. If you replace the door lock assembly and the problem continues, replace the electronic control board.

Unplug the washer for 5 minutes. Restore power and see if the code returns. If it does, replace the electronic control board.

Unplug the washer. Check the wiring harness for the door lock assembly. If the wiring harness is sound, the door lock/switch assembly usually needs to be replaced.

Unplug the washer. Check the wiring harness going to the door lock assembly. If the wiring harness, is sound, the door lock/switch assembly usually needs to be replaced.

Unplug the washer and check the wire harness connections between the drive motor and the motor control board. Reconnect any loose wires or replace the wire harness if damaged. Check the resistance through the tachometer on the drive motor using a multimeter. If you don't measure between 105 and 130 ohms, the tachometer is defective and you'll need to replace the drive motor. The tachometer is built into the drive motor and can't be replaced separately. If tachometer resistance is okay, replace the motor control board.

Unplug the washer and remove the drive belt. Spin the motor pulley. If it doesn't spin freely, replace, the drive motor. If the motor spins freely, rotate the large drive pulley on the back of the washer tub to check the spin bearing. If the pulley doesn't spin freely, the outer tub and spin basket usually need to be replaced because a spin bearing failed. If the spin bearing is sound, check the resistance of the motor windings for a reading between 4 and 6 ohms. If the motor has failed, replace it. If the motor is sound, the speed control board usually needs to be replaced.

Unplug the washer and remove the drive belt. Spin the motor pulley. If it doesn't spin freely, replace, the drive motor.

Unplug the washer. Check the resistance through the tachometer on the motor. It should measure, between 105 and 130 ohms. If the tachometer has failed, replace the drive motor. If the tachometer resistance is within that range, remove the drive belt. Spin the motor pulley. If it doesn't spin freely, replace the drive motor. If the motor spins freely, rotate the large drive pulley on the back of the washer tub to check the spin bearing. If the pulley doesn't spin freely then the outer tub and spin basket usually need to be replaced.
