AE

The error code AE on a Kenmore washer typically indicates a problem with water leakage. This can be due to a few reasons:

  • Faulty water level sensor - The water level sensor monitors the amount of water in the washer tub. If it's malfunctioning, it might send incorrect signals to the washer, causing it to overfill and leak.
  • Leaking drain hose - A damaged or loose drain hose can leak water from the washer.
  • Clogged drain pump filter - A clogged filter can prevent proper drainage, leading to overflow and potential leaks.
  • Faulty drain pump - A malfunctioning drain pump might not be able to pump out water effectively, causing the washer to overfill and leak.
  • Leak around the door seal - Over time, the door seal on a washer can wear out or become damaged, allowing water to leak out during the wash cycle.

How to troubleshoot the AE error on your Kenmore washer

Important safety precaution - Before attempting any troubleshooting steps, unplug the washer from the power outlet to avoid any electrical hazards.

  1. Visually inspect for leaks - Look for any signs of water leakage around the washer, including the base, hoses, and door seal.
  2. Check the drain pump filter - Consult your washer's user manual for specific instructions on locating and cleaning the drain pump filter for your model.
  3. Inspect the drain hose - Look for any cracks, kinks, or loose connections in the drain hose.

If the AE error persists or you suspect a faulty component

  • Consult your Kenmore washer's user manual for troubleshooting steps specific to your model. The manual might provide additional information or diagnostics for the AE error code.
  • Consider contacting a qualified appliance repair technician for further diagnosis and repair. They can identify the exact cause of the leak and recommend the appropriate solution, which might involve replacing a faulty component or repairing the door seal.

Here are some additional tips

  • You can search online for troubleshooting resources specific to your Kenmore washer model and the AE error code. Include your model number in your search query for more accurate results.
  • Regularly cleaning the drain pump filter can help prevent clogs and potential leaks.
  • If your Kenmore washer is still under warranty, contacting the manufacturer's customer service might be an option for a free repair related to water leaks.
