 I went out on a "call" today to see if I could get a friend's washer working again. She has a 2009 Kenmore 80. It won't fill with water. There is no power to either solenoid regardless of where the temp switch is set. The machine spins fine and also dry agitates in the 4 minute window of the "Bulky" cycle where it's supposed to. That means the motor and (I think) the main timer are fine.
This is one of those machines that has the "auto water level" feature and an exceptionally complicated combination water temperature/water level control. Attached to this are a water temp thermistor AND a water flow sensor.
I can rebuild a 1954 Maytag AMP but this SOB completely flummoxed me today!!!
Does anyone have any thoughts as to the best way to proceed? Call Sears Service? :P | ||

 I've heard/read that the water level control is a frequent source of failure on these machines. There are at least two designs of the control so be sure the correct replacement is used. It starts agitating immediately? Does some water spray in at the *end* of the final spin (that's a common symptom). | ||
