Joel November 25, 2019 Hello! Upon changing my washer clutch on a whirlpool LSQ9600LW1 I managed to drop the motor and crush the motor start switch to smithereens! Do I absolutely need to replace that switch or can I just direct wire from motor to the harness. I can't believe I dropped the motor but, I did! Thank you. Joel Alexander
1 Answer Joe, I am sorry but you will need the motor start switch for the motor to operate. WP8529896 Read More...
Bob October 16, 2019 for Model Number 110.82781800 Kenmore 80 series washer makes a loud clicking noise only when agitating. what could it be? everything else works fine.
1 Answer Bob, It would be recommended to check the agitator dogs for this issue as it will be the most likely cause for the noise. Read More...
Beni September 29, 2019 for Model Number LSL9345EQ0 Hi my Machine fills but after filling it hums and it wont spin or let the water out.
1 Answer Beni, Since the pump is directly attached to the motor you should remove the pump from the motor while leaving the drain hoses connected to it and see it the motor spins on a spin setting. It is possible that the drain has seized up or has debris in it [sock] and keeping the motor from moving. WP3363892 There is a video under the part number on our site for this repair. Do not remove the drain hoses if there is water in the tub or it will come out onto the floor. Read More...
Herman March 06, 2019 for Model Number 110.23032100 Washer does not agitate or spin just hums. Removed pump from motor and still just hums. Pump less than 2 years only so unlikely. Manually turning motor shaft seems normal - gear case less than one year old so unlikely. That likely leaves motor, motor switch, or capacitor. How likely are these to fail? Thanks.
1 Answer Herman, based on what you have described, it sounds like you may need to replace the motor and capacitor, part number s are, WP8314869, and WP8572720 Read More...
Chris January 29, 2019 for Model Number maytag mvwc6esww1 I have a Maytag mvwc6esww1. Recently it started having trouble with the spin cycle roughly 80% of the time. It sounds like its switching to the spin cycle then stops. You then hear motor humming until the washer turns itself off. The washer performs as it should roughly 20% of the time.
1 Answer Chris, you will want to check that the inner basket moves freely. If the basket does not rotate freely, then this can stop the motor from operating properly. If it does not rotate freely, then you may have a brake/drive W10820043 issue or a gear case 3360629 issue. Another thing to check for is to make sure that the motor coupling is in good condition. There should not be any breaks or stretched out portions of the coupling. If there is, then this indicates a gearcase issue or failure from time and use. If none of these have occurred, then you may have a clutch WP8299642 that is not engaging properly Read More...
Mike January 26, 2019 for Model Number 11020842990 Washer will not spin or drain, motor does not go. It fills and agitates. The timer stops and does not advance from that point. It did shut off from an unbalanced load. Since that time these issues came up
1 Answer Mike, If the unit will fill and agitate then you will probably need to replace the lid switch. WP3949238 Read More...

Denis December 11, 2018 for Model Number 11023832100 I have an old Kenmore series 90, it does not drain, agitate or spin - just get a hum. Took off the pump and the pump seems fine. Dropped the motor down and trans turns free, With the motor removed from the trans and the water pump, I turned the dial to drain, agitate and spin the motor hums but when I turn the shaft just a little bit it starts up and runs strong and quite. Any suggestions? Could it be the motor switch?
1 Answer Hello Denis, This sounds like the motor capacitor WP8572720 has failed if the connection to it is intact. Read More...
Bob September 19, 2018 for Model Number LXR9445JQ1 replaced timer but timer will not advance once it comes off the wash cycle no rinse or spin cycles. timer seems to be deenergized.
1 Answer Bob, In order for the washer to drain and spin, the lid switch has to be activated. You'll need to check the 3949247V Lid Switch and wiring to the timer, check the WP358684 Strike to make sure it's not broken or missing and activating the lid switch, then check the lid hinge bearings WP21258 to make sure they haven't deteriorated causing the lid to be out of alignment .

Lou Rebelo August 20, 2018 for Model Number Kenmore 80 series 110.26822692 Washer will spin during drain after 1st cycle(wash). but in the rinse cycle spin fails. I can hear water pour in, pump working, dial advance, but not spin (feel no vibration). Dial is on "spin". I open lid and see agitator not moving but will jiggle slightly to left and hear a click. I close the lid and it will start spinning. This happenas on regular wash and permanent wash cycles. I have replaced the lid switch, It worked on the first wash and then back to failing. After the wash cycle is finished, if I move the dial to "spin" on any cycle of the dial and close the lid, the washer will spin. Last year I replaced the lid switch because the macine would fill up for rinse and stop. Dial would not move forward. That was on the original lid switch. Any hints, suggestions, questions is greatly appreciated.
1 Answer Hello Lou, we were unable to locate an exact wiring diagram for your Kenmore unit but from the issues you are experiencing it sounds like the issue could be a faulty contact point inside timer part number WP3950200 or a lose connection at the timer/motor. Hope this helps! Read More...
