Newport Rob September 18, 2020 for Model Number 110 82172810 My Kenmore washer was not spinning, the spin solenoid was found to be open circuit. My question: Is there something to check before installing the replacement to be sure another fault would not burn out the new solenoid? Thank you.
1 Answer As long as everything seems to move freely, then just the solenoid needs to be replaced. Read More...
Laundrylady March 12, 2018 for Model Number WFW8300SW02 My whirlpool front loading washer wont spin and drain during a cycle, but when I restart the cycle, it drains and begins the new cycle till its reaches the drain & spin, where it stops dead. Any help would be great. Thank you.
1 Answer Laundrylady, For this issue the most likely cause would be a control board issue with it draining when restarting but not draining and spinning in normal operation. Read More...
Tony October 02, 2016 for Model Number A558-XKW1 Hi, I know my washer is really old but it seems to be working great except now it won't spin. It will agitate and pumps all the water out. I tested it by switching the selenoid wires. it spins when they are switched and no agitate. Put them back the correct way and agitate with no spin. Volt meter says no power to the spin selenoid. I checked continuity and all appears to be good. Everything else on the machine works. Thank You in advance, Tony
1 Answer Hello Tony. The part needed 84867 has been permanently discontinued by the manufacturer and we don't know of any source or replacement for the part. Read More...
Sierra June 28, 2015 My washer will slowly add water then drain it all out and repeats. It never washes or goes through a cycle. It also doesn't fill up when it's doing this.
1 Answer Hello Sierra. You need to check and see if the drain hose is siphoning the water out into the drain pipe. Read More...
Peggy December 14, 2014 for Model Number Kenmore Limited Edition11082294800 Hi,My washer doesn't owe me a thing but if I can fix it ,Id rather for obvious reasons!When you push the button to start the cycle,you hear a noise(I think it is the pump).The water turns on and starts to fill but the drain is pumping it out just as fast.It seems to stay on ...not allowing the washer to fill at all...just keeps draining.What would you check first?I don't think it is a siphon issue because I am hearing the pump on.Thanks in advanmce for any suggestions.Peggy
1 Answer Peggy, This issue would not have anything to do with the drain pump as the pump is a mechanical pump and not a electrical pump. This would most likely be a siphoning issue where the standpipe is not high enough or the drain hose is making contact with water in the stand pipe. Read More...
Mike February 06, 2014 for Model Number LKA5800W3 My washer won't agitate, spin or drain. The tub is free to rotate. I pushed a screw driver up against the belt and then it got going, the wig wag went back and forth and would function in all modes once it got going. I assume this is a bad belt?
1 Answer Hello Mike. Check and see if the belt is stretched and if so, you will need to replace the belt on the unit. Read More...
Anita A. September 15, 2013 for Model Number whirlpool wet3300sq1 Will not fill with water when turning on water comes on for about a minute then shuts off if you push knob in then pull it back out again does same, will not fill the tub with water.
1 Answer Hello Anita, This sounds like the temperature switch W11103599 has failed. Being an electronic control, there is no way to test it other than replacing it. Do not throw the old one away so if it is good, you can return it for refund and try the next most likely suspect: the water valve WP3979345. Read More...
Paul January 27, 2013 for Model Number LA5500K My old belt driven washer gets stuck in drain mode. If I manually slide the swing arm on the pump it holds for the wash cycle but then stays in drain mode for the rest of the cycle. Could it be a bad Wig Wag (solenoid)?
1 Answer Hello Paul, You are correct. The wig-wag shifts the unit from agitate to drain. If the solenoids are not energized, the unit will remain in one state. You should first check the wiring to the wig-wags first as these had issues with the wiring breaking, shorting, and burning in the connector at the main top. If the voltage, (120Vac), is reaching the wig-wag solenoids and they are not energizing, you can change the wig-wag with confidence that it will resolve the issue. Many wig-wags have been changed needlessly because of a wiring issue. Read More...
Jane November 04, 2012 for Model Number Whirlpool Washer LFA7800W4 My belt drive whirlpool washer do not agitate or spin. I have checked the motor and the belt , they seem working fine. Can you give me some clues what the problems. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Jane. Check for power to the motor. If there is power there, and the motor does not run, you will need to order and replace the motor kit 285222 on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Tom October 28, 2012 for Model Number Whirlpool LSQ9030PQ5 washer The washer sometimes spins the clothes dry and sometimes it doesn't. If the clothes don't get spun, we run the clothes through the whole cycle again and usually they will get the water spun out. If I put the selector on spin only without running through the whole cycle, the clothes never get spun. Is the lid switch acting up?
1 Answer Hello Tom. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the clutch assembly 285785 may be bad and need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
