Kenmore 417 series laundry center washer

Make sure that the water supply faucets behind the laundry center are fully open. Check for frozen fill lines in the winter. Unplug the laundry center and disconnect the fill hoses from the back of the washer. Check for proper water flow through the fill hoses. If water flow is inadequate, have a plumber repair the water supply to the faucets. If water flows okay, check the inlet screens on the water valve assembly. If you find clogged screens, replace the water valve assembly rather than cleaning the screens. Cleaning could allow debris to enter the valves, resulting in the valves sticking open and causing a flood. Check the drain hose for proper installation. An improperly installed drain hose causes fill water to siphon out through the washer drain. If you find no problems with the above issues, you'll likely need to replace the water valve assembly.

Check the drain hose for proper installation. An improperly installed drain hose causes fill water to siphon out through the washer drain. Manually drain the water out of the washer. Unplug the laundry center and check the washer outer tub for cracks or leaks such as water dripping from the bottom of the washer tub or a hose. Replace the tub if it leaks. If you don't find any water leaks, check the water level sensor air hose for air leaks. Replace the air hose if it leaks. If the hose doesn't leak, replace the water level sensor because it's not detecting the water level in the washer.
