Kenmore 796.41282310 Use & Care Manual page 28

Should you experience any problems with your
washing machine, it has the capability of transmitting
data via your telephone to the Kenmore Connect
Team. This gives you the capability of speaking
directly to our specially trained technicians. The
technician records the data transmitted from your
machine and uses it to analyze the issue, providing a
fast and effective diagnosis.
Using the Kenmore Connect
TM
System
Follow the technician's instructions and perform
the following steps when requested.
If you experience problems with your washer, call
1-800-4-MY-HOME ®. Only use the Kenmore Connect
System feature when instructed to do so by the
Kenmore Connect Team. The transmission sounds that
you will hear are normal and sound similar to a fax
machine.
Kenmore Connect cannot be activated unless your
washing machine is turned on by pressing the POWER
button. If your washing machine is unable to turn
on, then troubleshooting must be done without using
Kenmore Connect.

the mouthpiece of your phone over the POWER button, when instructed to do so by
the call center, no more than one inch from (but not touching) the machine.
