Ed for Model Number 11026924500 This is a Kenmore washer 11026924500. The motor seemed to be jammed. Made a loud humming noise. I pulled the motor and just letting it sit in the floor, not connected in any way to the machine other than the wiring connection it still would not go, ... just hums. However, if I spin it by hand it takes off and runs strong, smooth and quiet. I have changed the capacitor and that did not fix it. Opening and closing the lid turns the hum on and off. So I reason it is not the lid switch. I just purchased your timer. What are the chances that is the problem? Do you think it could be the motor? Could I have been sold the wrong capacitor? (From a local parts house Didn't fix it and can't be returned.) Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. Ed
Answer Hello Ed. If you turn the motor by hand and it runs, it sounds like the motor WP8541504 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Thursday, July 18, 2013
