Roberto Frostedo for Model Number 110.26912691 Kenmore Series 90 washer. Motor overheated / smelly after agitation cycle / full drum of soapy water. Next day I pulled the motor & started it with no load. 70% of the time it just hums. 30% of the time it will start up, click & spin fast & fine. I can spin the drum by hand by turning the nylon coupler that connects the motor to the gearbox but it is a little stiff but it does turn by hand, turning the drum. I checked the gearbox by pulling it out & it spins freely. My question is: Do you think it is the kick-start capacitor or the motor itself. This could be the difference in repairing or junking it. It's a very nice washer but not worth over $200 for a new motor & have it be something binding up in the transmission gear box to drum drive portion. What is the part number for the cap? Thanks for your reply. RF
Answer Roberto, The part number for the capacitor is WP8572720.I would make sure that nothing is binding up the drain pump. You can simply remove the drain pump and leave hoses attached and run a spin cycle. If same problem persists then there could be an issue with your motor. Read More...
