Note: Sub-Zero primarily manufactures refrigeration appliances and does not produce washers, dryers, microwaves, dishwashers, stoves, or ovens.

General Tips for Troubleshooting and Fixing Common Problems with Kenmore Appliances:

• Washer: If the washer is not spinning or agitating, check the drive belt, lid switch, and motor coupling. If the washer is leaking, check the hoses, pump, and door seal. If the washer is not filling with water, check the inlet valve and water level switch.
• Dryer: If the dryer is not heating, check the heating element, thermal fuse, and thermostat. If the dryer drum is not turning, check the drive belt, idler pulley, and drum rollers. If the dryer is making unusual noises, check the blower wheel, drum bearings, and motor.
• Refrigerator: If the refrigerator is not cooling, check the condenser coils, evaporator fan, and compressor. If the refrigerator is leaking, check the water inlet valve and defrost drain. If the refrigerator is making unusual noises, check the evaporator fan motor and condenser fan motor.
• Freezer: If the freezer is not cooling, check the evaporator fan, thermostat, and compressor. If the freezer is leaking, check the drain pan and drain tube. If the freezer is making unusual noises, check the evaporator fan motor and condenser fan motor.
• Microwave: If the microwave is not heating, check the high voltage diode, magnetron, and capacitor. If the microwave is making unusual noises, check the turntable motor, stirrer motor, and cooling fan.
• Dishwasher: If the dishwasher is not cleaning dishes properly, check the spray arm, wash impeller, and detergent dispenser. If the dishwasher is not draining, check the drain pump, drain hose, and garbage disposal. If the dishwasher is making unusual noises, check the circulation pump and motor.
• Stove: If the stove burners are not lighting, check the ignition system and gas supply. If the stove oven is not heating, check the bake element, broil element, and temperature sensor.
• Oven: If the oven is not heating, check the bake element, broil element, and thermal fuse. If the oven is not self-cleaning, check the door lock motor and control board. If the oven is making unusual noises, check the convection fan and cooling fan.
