E2

The meaning of E2 on a Kenmore washer can depend on the specific model you have. There are two main possibilities -

  • Door Lock Error - In many Kenmore washer models, particularly front-load washers, E2 signifies a door lock error. This means the washer's control board isn't detecting a secure closure of the washer door. The washer won't start a cycle if it can't ensure the door is properly locked to prevent leaks during the wash process.
  • Drain Issue (Less Common) - In some older Kenmore washer models, particularly washers in the 110 series, E2 might indicate a drain issue. This could be due to a clogged drain hose, drain pump malfunction, or a problem with the water level sensor.

How to troubleshoot the E2 error on your Kenmore washer

For Door Lock Error

  1. Check the door - Ensure the washer door is firmly closed and all latches are engaged.
  2. Wipe down the door strike - Sometimes, debris or moisture around the door strike (the area on the washer frame where the door latch connects) can prevent a proper lock. Use a clean cloth to wipe down the door strike area.
  3. Reset the washer - Try unplugging the washer from the power outlet for a few minutes, then plugging it back in and restarting the cycle. This can sometimes reset any glitches with the door lock sensor.

For Drain Issue

  1. Check the drain hose - Inspect the drain hose for any kinks or clogs that might be preventing water from draining properly.
  2. Clean the drain pump filter - Consult your washer's user manual for specific instructions on locating and cleaning the drain pump filter for your model.

If the E2 error persists after trying these steps

  • Consult your Kenmore washer's user manual for troubleshooting steps specific to your model. The manual might provide additional information or diagnostics for the E2 error code.
  • Consider contacting a qualified appliance repair technician for further diagnosis and repair. They can help identify the exact cause of the E2 error and recommend the appropriate solution.
