Joseph November 16, 2020 for Model Number 110.20842990 Hello, I have a Kenmore Washer, Model No. 110.20842990. The basket won't spin. The time makes a slight rattle sound when turned on and I can hear the motor humming. I removed the water pump and the motor shaft can be spun in both directions by hand. The motor coupler is also intact. Any thoughts? Could it be the Starter capacitor? Thanks, Joe
1 Answer Joseph, A faulty capacitor is possible but not likely at this point. Based on your post information and description, you may want to check or replace the timer WP3953156/WP3953156 Timer. Thanks, Read More...
Steve October 19, 2019 for Model Number Kenmore 80 series model 110.23832100 Go thru all the cycles fine until it gets to spin doesn't spin at all, but it will spin if you turn the dial to a spin and pull the knob out. Just doesn't do it first on a normal cycle. Have bypassed the lid switch and replaced motor coupling but still didn't help. Please let me know. Thanks
1 Answer Steve, This issue would most likely be caused by a faulty neutral drain which is located in the transmission of the unit. Read More...
Charles September 03, 2019 for Model Number 110.28912791 My washer stopped mid-cycle. It will fill but ZERO motor movement. No buzzing or humming. I checked obvious things like lid switch. I had a similar situation before, but after removing motor and reinstalling it worked. I'm suspicious of the motor starter switch. Is there a way to test?
1 Answer Hello Charles, unfortunately the manufacturer/seller has not released any service information on this model, so we cannot advise you , other than if you access the control panel area there maybe schematic there you can use. Read More...
Michael January 09, 2019 How can you be sure the capacitor (661605) is installed and hooked up correctly. Can the wire hookup be transposed?
1 Answer Michael, The capacitor has 3 terminals 2 on one side and one on the other. there should be 1 wire connected to the single terminal and then one on the 2 terminal either post. Read More...
Tim April 05, 2018 for Model Number lsn1000lwo Where is the capacitor located, back panel or the motor?
Lou S March 19, 2017 for Model Number 110.27892790 After filling, unit sometimes clicks as if trying to start motor agitation, then trips circuit breaker. If it manages to start running, it will run through all cycles without further issues. Sometimes it starts without any issues. I've already purchased a new clutch, but before I pull it all apart to install it, I'm suspicious I may not be targeting the correct part. The lid switch is new. Thoughts?
1 Answer Lou, You will want to check the drain pump to make sure that there is nothing caught in it. Also another thing that could potentially cause this would be a capacitor or a motor that would be faulty. Read More...
Pete December 20, 2016 for Model Number Kenmore 110.24832200 Washer will empty the tub on final spin, but won't spin. Does this in all cycles.
1 Answer Hello Pete. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the clutch 285785 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Bubba November 25, 2016 for Model Number Kenmore Washer 110.20872990 washer works through all cycles, however when it starts to agitate the lights (in the house) dim. Kinda creepy looks like we're running an electric chair in the back room. After removing the case there's a very loud click as the motor changes direction to agitate. I've operated it with the pump removed and even the motor disconnected from the transmission laying on the floor.Same thing, that eliminated the pump being clogged or the transmission. could it be a weak capacitor or is it the motor?
1 Answer Bubba, With this issue it would most likely be a issue with the motor of the unit with the motor causing the lights to flicker. Read More...
Brad August 27, 2016 for Model Number 110.24052300 Hello, I've got a problem! My washing machine will fill, but when the timer moves on to the agitate, the motor hums for about 15 seconds until the thermal overload trips. If you manually move timer to spin setting, same thing happens, hum/no start. Once it cools off a bit, and you reset the timer switch it does the same thing. I have tested the lid switch, it's ok. Motor shaft spins freely by hand and it will run if I give the shaft a twist. I believe that it could be the start capacitor, although I attempted to test it and the numbers came up ok...please help.
1 Answer Brad, If the motor just hums and you can spin the shaft then it will start then the issue will be a weak motor and the motor would need to be replaced. Read More...
John July 27, 2016 for Model Number 110-23912-100 The washer works fine through all the cycles except the final spin. When it comes to the final spin the motor is working but the basket need a little help to get going. Once it's spinning it doesn't seem to spin as fast as it needs to to get all the water out. Is it the start up capacitor?
1 Answer Hello John. It sounds like the clutch 285785 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
