Kenmore Elite 79641482411 washer Parts

For the Kenmore Elite washer model 79641482411, the cabinet size is 27 in. wide x 29 3/4 in. deep x 38 11/16 in. high; with the door fully open, the depth is 51 in. These are the key dimensions used for fit, installation, and clearance planning (see the 79641482411 owner's manual).

Dimensions and key specs (79641482411)

• Width: 27 in. (68.6 cm)
• Depth (door closed): 29 3/4 in. (75.6 cm)
• Height: 38 11/16 in. (98.3 cm)
• Depth (door open): 51 in. (129.5 cm)
• Net weight: 205 lb (93 kg)

Measurement	Door closed	Door open
Depth	29 3/4 in.	51 in.

Clearance guidelines we recommend

Even when the washer fits by dimensions, it still needs space for hoses, airflow, and door swing.

• Leave at least 1 in. clearance on each side
• Leave at least 4 in. behind the washer
• Leave at least 27 in. in front to open the door
• Install on a solid, rigid floor (avoid soft surfaces)
• Keep the washer level; allowable slope is up to about 1 in. across the footprint

Why it matters

Correct sizing prevents installation headaches and helps reduce vibration, noise, and hose kinks. The “door open” depth is especially important for tight laundry closets and hallway clearances.

To hard reset your Kenmore Elite washer model 79641482411, unplug it (or turn off the breaker) for about 1 minute, then restore power and press POWER to restart. This clears many temporary control glitches and lets the washer reboot its electronics; see the 79641482411 owner's manual for model-specific control behavior.

Hard reset steps (power cycle)

• Press POWER to turn the washer off.
• Unplug the washer from the grounded outlet (or switch the circuit breaker off).
• Wait 60 seconds.
• Plug the washer back in (or turn the breaker on).
• Press POWER to turn the washer on.
• Run a quick Rinse/Spin or Drain/Spin style cycle to confirm normal operation.

If the washer is stuck with water in the tub

If the door stays locked because the tub is hot or there is water inside, use the manual drain/spin method described for this style of Kenmore Elite front-load washer.

• Press POWER.
• Press SPIN SPEED (without selecting a full wash cycle) to start draining/spinning.
• Wait for the DOOR LOCK indicator to turn off before opening.

What a reset can and cannot fix

Symptom	Reset often helps	Usually needs troubleshooting/parts
Control panel frozen or unresponsive	Yes	If it repeats, check power supply and wiring
Cycle won’t start after a power flicker	Yes	If door won’t lock, inspect the lock system
Not draining	Sometimes	Drain pump, hoses, or blockage

If you still have drain problems after a reset, the drain system is the first place we check on this model; common service parts include the drain pump motor (4681EA2001T) - washer part by lg electronics 4681EA2001T and the tub-to-pump hose.

Why it matters

A hard reset is the fastest safe first step because it restores normal control-board logic without disassembly. If the same failure returns quickly, the washer is usually reacting to a real condition (door lock, drain, or power issue) that needs correction.

On the Kenmore Elite washer model 79641482411, an F5 code points to a door lock or door latch problem. The washer will not run unless it senses the door is fully closed and locked, so this code usually shows up when the lock system cannot confirm a safe lock.

What to check first (fast, no parts)

• Press POWER to cancel the cycle, then restart.
• Firmly close the door; remove any laundry caught between the door and the door boot.
• If the tub is very full of water, run a drain and spin so the door can unlock normally.
• Unplug the washer for 60 seconds, then restore power and try again.
• If the washer is hot or the water level is high, wait; the door may stay locked until conditions are safe.

For the exact control behavior and door lock indicator details, follow the steps in the 79641482411 owner's manual.

Likely causes and the most common fixes

In this model family, F5 is most often triggered by the door lock system (lock, strike, wiring, or control not reading the lock state).

Symptom you see	Most likely area	What usually fixes it
Door won’t lock, cycle won’t start	Door lock assembly	Replace the door lock
Door closes but won’t “click” or feels loose	Door strike or hinge alignment	Replace strike, check hinge screws
Intermittent F5 (works sometimes)	Loose connection or failing lock	Reseat connectors, replace lock if recurring
F5 after power glitch	Control not reset	Power reset (unplug 60 seconds)

Parts that commonly relate to an F5 door-lock issue

• Lg washer door lock EBF61315802
• Lg washer door lock strike MFG63099101

Why it matters

The door lock is a safety system. If the washer cannot confirm the door is locked, it prevents tumbling and spinning to protect you and to prevent leaks.

On Kenmore Elite washer model 79641482411, the quickest way to force a drain is to run Drain & Spin and choose NO SPIN; that activates the drain pump and removes water without a full spin cycle. For exact button steps, use the 79641482411 owner's manual.

Fastest way: Drain only (no spin)

1. Press POWER to turn the washer on.
2. Press SPIN SPEED until NO SPIN is selected.
3. Press START/PAUSE.

• This forces the drain pump to run.
• The washer may tumble briefly before draining.
• If the door is locked because the water is hot, wait for the lock indicator to turn off before opening.

If it still will not drain

Most no-drain problems come from a blocked hose, a restricted tub-to-pump path, or a failing pump.

• Check the drain hose for kinks, pinches, crushing, or clogs.
• Confirm the standpipe or sink setup is correct (hose not shoved too far down).
• If you use a hose extension, keep it short; long extensions cause poor draining.
• Listen for the drain pump: a steady hum with no water movement often points to a blockage.
• If the pump is noisy, intermittent, or silent during Drain & Spin, the pump or motor may need replacement.

Drain hose setup limits (important)

Item to check	Target for best draining
Standpipe insertion depth	About 8 to 12 inches
Max drain height	Up to 96 inches from washer base
Hose past elbow bracket	No more than 4 inches

Parts that commonly fix a no-drain issue

If the washer drains slowly, stops mid-cycle, or shows drain-related symptoms, these model-matched parts are common fixes:

• Drain pump motor (4681EA2001T) - washer part by lg electronics 4681EA2001T
• Washer tub-to-pump hose 4738ER1002A
• Washer pump 3108ER1001E

Why it matters

Forcing a proper drain protects the control board and door lock system, prevents standing water odors, and restores normal spin performance on your Kenmore Elite 79641482411.
