Kenmore 11029132414 washer Parts

PF on a Kenmore washer means a power failure; the washer detected an interruption in electrical power during a cycle. On Kenmore model 11029132414, you can usually clear PF by pressing Pause/Cancel/Stop twice, then restarting the cycle (see the 11029132414 use and care guide).

What causes a PF code?

A PF code is almost always triggered by a brief loss of power or a momentary drop in voltage while the washer is running.

Common causes include:

• A household power outage or flicker
• A tripped breaker or blown fuse
• A loose power cord at the outlet
• A GFCI outlet that tripped
• Using an extension cord or power strip (not recommended for washers)

What to do next (quick checklist)

Use these steps to get the washer running again safely:

• Press Pause/Cancel/Stop twice to clear the display.
• Unplug the washer (or turn off the breaker) for 5 minutes, then restore power.
• Plug the washer directly into a grounded wall outlet (no extension cord).
• Check the breaker panel; reset the breaker fully (OFF then ON).
• Restart a normal cycle and watch for the code returning.

When PF points to a bigger problem

If PF returns repeatedly without any obvious power flicker, focus on the power source first, then the washer controls.

What you notice	Most likely issue	What we recommend
PF happens during storms/outages	Utility power interruption	Clear PF and restart cycle
PF happens when other appliances start	Shared circuit or voltage drop	Move washer to a dedicated circuit
PF happens randomly, frequently	Outlet, cord, or control issue	Check outlet fit; consider service

Why it matters

A power interruption can stop the motor, drain pump, or lid lock mid-cycle. Clearing PF correctly helps prevent incomplete draining, poor spin performance, or a locked cycle that will not restart.

On Kenmore washer model 11029132414, unclogging the drain hose usually means safely disconnecting it, clearing debris, and then reinstalling it correctly so the washer can drain and spin normally. The manual also notes to avoid pushing the hose too far into the standpipe (more than 4.5 inches).

Safety first

• Unplug the washer before handling hoses.
• Turn off both water faucets.
• Keep a shallow pan and towels ready for water in the hose.
• If the washer is full of water, run a Drain/Spin (if possible) before disconnecting anything.

Steps to unclog the drain hose

1. Disconnect the drain hose from the home drain (standpipe or laundry tub). If needed, disconnect it from the washer end as well.
2. Check for a simple blockage at the hose ends (lint, coins, socks, sludge).
3. Flush the hose with hot water. For buildup, soak the clogged end in hot water with vinegar for 20 to 30 minutes, then flush again.
4. Clear the drain path: make sure the standpipe or tub drain is not clogged.
5. Reinstall correctly using the drain hose form and secure it; do not tape over the drain opening.

Drain hose installation checks (prevents repeat clogs)

The most common “clog” symptoms are actually an installation issue. Use the guidance in the 11029132414 owner’s manual.

• Drain hose should not extend more than 4.5 in. (114 mm) into the standpipe
• Do not raise the hose end higher than 96 in. (2.4 m) above the floor
• Do not kink, crush, or sharply bend the hose behind the washer
• Use the hose form and secure the hose to the drainpipe or tub

When a clog points to a part problem

If the hose is clear but the washer still drains slowly or shows long-drain symptoms, the drain pump can be jammed or failing. For this model, the replacement pump is the washer drain pump W10876600.

Symptom	Most likely cause	What to check next
Slow drain, standing water	Partial blockage	Hose, standpipe, pump inlet
Hums but won’t drain	Pump jammed	Debris in pump, impeller damage
Drains sometimes, not always	Intermittent pump	Wiring connection, pump wear

Why it matters

A restricted drain hose can prevent proper spinning, leave clothes wet, and trigger long-drain behavior. Correct hose routing (depth and height) is just as important as removing the clog.

To reset a Kenmore 11029132414 washer, we recommend doing a simple power reset: unplug the washer (or switch the breaker off) for about 1 minute, then restore power and start a new cycle. This clears many temporary control glitches and stuck cycle states.

Quick reset steps (power reset)

• Press Start/Pause/Unlock Lid once to pause the cycle.
• Wait for the tub to stop moving; the lid unlock can take a few minutes if it was spinning.
• Unplug the washer (or turn the circuit breaker off).
• Wait 60 seconds.
• Plug back in (or turn the breaker on).
• Select a cycle and touch and hold Start/Pause/Unlock Lid to restart.

For button behavior, lid lock timing, and cycle status lights on this model, follow the 11029132414 owner's manual.

If an error code is showing

Some codes can be cleared from the control panel without unplugging.

• If an F-type error code appears, touch Start/Pause/Unlock Lid once to clear it.
• Touch Start/Pause/Unlock Lid again to restart the washer.
• If the same code returns, the issue is usually not a “reset” problem; it points to a component or control fault.

Common “not a reset” causes to check

• Lid not fully closed or something preventing the lid from locking
• Oversudsing from too much detergent or non-HE detergent
• Load tightly packed or badly unbalanced
• Power supply issue (tripped breaker, loose outlet)

When a reset does not help

If the washer still will not start, stops mid-cycle, or will not unlock, the problem is often in the lid lock circuit or main control.

Symptom	What to check first	Related part for this model
Won’t start, lid won’t lock	Lid strike area, lid lock operation	Washer lid lock assembly W10810403
Dead display or random behavior	Power supply, then control board	(Control board may be needed)
Stops and won’t drain	Drain path, pump, hose	Washer drain pump W10876600

Why it matters

A reset clears temporary software states, but it does not fix mechanical failures (like a drain pump jam) or electrical failures (like a lid lock that will not engage). Using the right reset method helps you avoid repeat interruptions and protects the washer’s control.
