My Kenmore Elite HE3T washer will not start. The door is locked shut with clothes inside. Any wash cycle selection I press, the button flashes on and off. If I press the Start button it doesn't do anything. I have unplugged the unit and waited, then plugged it back in. Not sure what else to try. Any ideas?

After the complete wash cycle is finished, the clothes are still soaking wet sometimes. This is not an every load problem.
SOURCE: My kenmore Elite HE3t Giving a code F 06
"F06" is a Motor Speed error code. This is an indication that there is a problem with the Drive Motor, Tachometer, Motor Control Unit (MCU), Central Control Unit (CCU) and/or interconnecting wiring between the all these components. The following link explains:

I would begin by checking all the connector plugs between the CCU, MCU and Drive Motor to ensure none of them are loose or have corroded contacts.
Read through the link and follow the steps provided. If you have questions, please let me know. I hope this helps.
NOTE: The majority of the time this failure is attributed to a bad tachometer which is located on the MCU. If defective, the MCU must be replaced. There is a technical data sheet that comes with the washer. It is located inside the washer behind the lower toe panel directly below the door. The panel comes off by removing the screws located under bottom front edge of the panel. With the screws removed, the panel will drop down, then come off. If the tech sheet is not located directly behind the panel, it will be affixed to one of the interior cabinet walls. Included are all the diagnostics and troubleshooting advice for your washer, including diagrams to show test points. HINT: For better access to the screws you can prop the two front feet of the washer up using a 2 x 4.

It sounds like the water inlet valve is letting water enter the machine at times when it shouldn't.
The valve can be replaced and is part number 8181694 it runs about $40.00. The valve can be accessed by taking 3 screws out of the machine top located on the back of the machine, slide the top up and back to remove. The fill hoses connect to the valve in the back and the remainder of the connections are inside from the top.

We experienced the same thing. I was able to restart and locate the noise to the water pump. After disassembling the water pump found the impeller shaft sliding out. For some reason this shaft will not stay in place. Had to order a complete pump assembly as the electric motor is not available.
