If front loader washer quit spinning, check the wax motor switch. You can make a temporary fix by providing a short on the door lock contact. The Kenmore 417.29042992 front load washer provides a test connector that's readily accessible behind the front lower panel. Insert a wire between connector pins 1 and 2 (red and white/red color wires) and your washer should spin during the spin cycle. Hopes this helps.
SOURCE: door won't open after self-cleaning cycle is complete
Turns out that the latch is attached to a plastic piece (made by the manufacturer) and the spring melted! To boot, the fuse in the back which aids in heating the oven went out also. Repair man said this was typical after several uses in cleaning cycle. He recommended using a gentle steel wool pad with soap built in to gently remove backed on food instead of using cleaning cycle. It is just too hot for too long, and there seems to be a domino effect with things that will go wrong. Nothing like the old fashioned way and a little elbow grease!

Pulling the door open during the wash cycle meant that it was pulled open with the latch in the locked position. The door cannot be opened in this manner while it is operating. If the door now does not latch, it has probably been damaged and needs to be replaced. The following link explains how to replace the door latch:

Hello Jennifer Brookman - Unfortunately from what you are describing it sounds like the washer is either experiencing a communication error from the control board or wiring failure. Since you have already tried the basic troubleshooting by flipping the household circuit breaker off, do you notice if the door is securely latching? If it is not, then the issue can also lie with a faulty door latch assembly. I suggest contacting a professional for a proper diagnosis and to move forward accurately.
Hello Nina DeLuca - Try resetting the unit by unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. Wait approximately ten minutes. If the door does not open, then it sounds like the washer is possibly experiencing a communication problem with the control board, wiring failure or faulty door lock. Contact a professional to move forward accurately to properly diagnose/repair unit.
