dc
On a Kenmore washer, the dc error code indicates an unbalanced load. This means the washer has detected that the clothes inside the washer are unevenly distributed, which can cause the washer to vibrate excessively during the spin cycle. This vibration can potentially damage the washer or lead to errors during the spin cycle.
How to troubleshoot the dc error on your Kenmore washer
- Redistribute the clothes - Open the washer door and try to redistribute the clothes more evenly throughout the washer tub. Make sure there aren't any large, heavy items clumped together on one side.
- Add more items (for small loads) - If you're washing a very small load, adding a few towels or other bulky items can help balance the load during spinning.
- Level the washer - An unevenly leveled washer can also contribute to unbalanced loads. Check the washer's leveling legs and adjust them if necessary to ensure the washer is level on the floor.
If you've tried these steps and the dc error code persists, it's possible there could be an underlying issue with the washer's suspension system or other components. In such cases, consulting a qualified appliance repair technician for further diagnosis and repair is recommended.
