    My 3yr old Kenmore Elite HE4 Model # 110.85087400 has no power to front control panel. None of the buttons light up and none of the controls work. Power is good. I followed the tech troubleshooting guide located on the inside of the front, bottom panel. It lead me to "replace the machine control electronics". Cost: $165.00. Has anyone else had this problem? Have a solution?

    All the control lights won't work. Power is good, inside light works and can lock controls.

I checked Sears website and they have a service plan available for machines no longer under warranty. For $193 plus tax they will fix the machine and give you an additional 12 months coverage. This plan covers labor and parts up to $500. If they cannot repair the machine they will give you a $500 credit towards a new one. The guy came out today and replace the front control panel and another panel located on the top left side of the drum. It works fine now.

I have a Kenmore Elite HE4 smartheat quiet pak 9 that has power but will not start.

Sounds like the belt that turns the drum could be broken. I'd check that first.

My kenmore elite Smartheat quietpak9 model HE4, keep turn off after 15 to 20 minutes, it does getting hot. Could you please let me know what will be a problem. I bought it used so I am not sure how old is...

might need a clean out keeping heat inside of dryer,or you have abad motor,take the vent line off the back of dryer and run it to see if the block is in the vent line or in the dryer,also take off bottom panel,unplug dryer,take out lint filter and then remove the duct that the filter slides into,if it's blocked clean it out and you should be all set,usually the thermal fuse pops when this happens so that's why i say you could have a bad motor
