    Kenmore Elite Washer - fills water and then pauses . It does nothing
    It first showed CE error message. After some research on the internet I made sure the connections are correct and now it started and fills water after that it just stops and does nothing... it just waits.. I cancelled the cycle and restart a new cycle it fills water again and waits after it fills water... would appreciate if you can help me troubleshoot... please help!

    If it fills with water and stop, it should start to wash by then.

    The part that would transfer the connection is what we called the pressure switch or sometimes they call this the water level switch.

    It would transfer the power from the solenoids to the wash cycle .

    If you have the schematics, trace the contacts if it would transfer. Pull the small hose that is attached to this part and blow on it. It should transfer the contacts as the diagram would say.


    Tnx 4 using AMHD,

    It turned out to be the lid closed sensor on mine. As a temporary solution I had to unsure the left bracket that holds the lid on and pin it down with something.

    The washer would fill and then stop and do nothing. Something inside (I have not yet fully investigated) had worn to the point that when the lid was closed it was not quite hitting the button or whatever is inside.
