I am getting 2 codes E3 and F5 on my kenmire 600 series washer. What do they mean?
@back2me3 the F5 E3 alert indicates there is an issue with the lid lock. Do not force the lid open, as permanent damage could occur. Remove any objects from the lid and clear any obstructions. Touch POWER to exit cycle, then touch POWER again to release lid. If this is unsuccessful, reboot the machine by unplugging the washer and wait two minutes before plugging the machine back in. Also, check this video from here Remember that your Kenmore is actually made by Whirlpool. We might find more information if you can give us your washers serial number.
It means that you lid look mechanism is malfunctioning try unplugging it for 2 minutes then close the lid before you press the start button
