Bob September 25, 2017 for Model Number 11028102310 Greetings, I own an 11 year old Kenmore 700 Series top load washer. The lid switch was loose (after filling up with water it wouldn't run), so as a quick fix I shimmed it up so it wouldn't slide around. My problem now is that my washer won't start at all, and there is no audible humming to indicate power when I pull the timer knob at any setting. I checked the power cord for continuity (all good) and power coming from the outlet is all good. Could my timer be at fault? "Feel"-wise, the knob still "snaps" nicely when pushing and pulling on it.
1 Answer Hello Bob. Test and see if there is power to the control board. If so, and the unit does not work, you will need to replace the board WPW10583051. You will also need to replace the door lock assembly WPW10619844 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...
Jon November 18, 2013 for Model Number 27731600 I'm trying to get to the timer is there a video or helpful hints?
1 Answer Hello Jon. Disconnect the power and release the locking clips under each front corner of the control panel. You can use a flat blade putty knife to release the clips. Now you can access and replace the timer in the unit. Read More...

1 Answer Teri, The timer is one of the possible issues, and the more likely. But you would also need to consider the motor WP661600 it may have an "open" high speed winding. If you have access to a multi meter you can check across terminal #4 and Terminal #3 on the motor switch for a "closed" circuit. If the resistance is a closed circuit, the motor winding is OK and you need to replace the timer. Read More...
