Peter for Model Number 11022996101 You mentioned that the loud noise before the spin cycle starts could be from brake assembly? What is the part number and where is it located on Kenmore 11022996101. Thanks
Answer Hello Peter, The brake is actually part of the basketdrive W10820043. It is accessed by dropping the gearcase and turning it to release the brake while pulling down on it. The spanner nut under the agitator does have to be removed first or the gearcase and basketdrive will not come out. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Friday, March 10, 2017
