Jason April 18, 2022 for Model Number 110.29822801 The spin options are the only functions that work, nothing happens with all other selected options.
1 Answer Jason, it would be recommended that the temperature switch WPW10248240 is tested for 120VAC (when set to cold or warm wash) at the violet wire found at terminal J2 while the unit is set in a normal cycle. If there is not voltage, the timer WPW10187167 has failed. If there is 120VAC, the next step would be testing the yellow wire with a red stripe for 120VAC. If there is not voltage, the switch would need to be replaced. If there is voltage but water does not go into the tub, the valve WPW10175893 has failed. Read More...
Tad February 26, 2021 for Model Number 110.29832801 The washing machine will fill with water and then stop. The agitation cycle does not start up, so the washing then continues to fill with water. I just replaced the switch that reads the pressure and it did not fix the issue. Could it be the timer? I tried to advance the switch to other parts of the cycle and nothing happens. I also took the motor off and then inspected the Main Drive motor switch and opened up the cover to find some burn marks. Seemed like things were making contacts. I cleaned the contacts with some light grit sandpaper and put it back together, but continue to have the issue. Any suggestions before I order a ton of parts to troubleshoot? Thanks!
1 Answer Tad, if the water level does not fill to the proper level within a few minutes, there would likely be an issue with the valve WPW10175893. However, if the water does not rise at all, the drain hose would need to be checked to see if it has settled into the standpipe more than 6-8" as this can cause a siphoning issue. In regards to the motor having burn marks, it is possible that there may be an issue occurring in the area of the burns and the process of elimination would be necessary. Once the fill issue has been identified, the next step would be to move the timer WPW10187167 to an agitation portion of the cycle and test for 120VAC at the blue wire at pin 36. If there is 120VAC, the next step would be to visually inspect the motor capacitor WP8572717 to identify if it has any indicators of failing. If not, the likely failure would be the motor WP661600.

Dan November 28, 2020 for Model Number Not sure but paired dryer is 110.76912692 Lately my wife is finding that after a completed cycle there is still (clean) water in the bin with the clothes. If she tries to turn the control back around to the start of the last spin cycle she can sometimes get it to go through with the last part of the cycle including draining. Do you think replacement of the timer/control is likely called for? It doesn't seem mechanical because it sometimes does exactly what it is supposed to do and can often be made to complete the full cycle when it doesn't. Unit is probably 20 years old but wife prefers repair attempts because of all the stories about new washing machines being harder to repair, more likely to break down. I gave the washer model because all the grime or wear is making no number visible on the washer where I look. I could take apart further to see if I can find the number but figured the problem description and the paired dryer model number would suffice for now. Appreciate any wisdom. NeedHelp in Boston
1 Answer Hello Dan, without the washer's model number, we can only give you a generic answer, but the spin/drain cycle is controlled by the timer. Read More...
Jim November 12, 2019 for Model Number 110.29822801 Regardless of which cycle option is selected, the unit starts agitating as soon as the cycle is initiated. It used to fill before agitating. Also, it starts to fill again at the end of a spin cycle. Unsure whether to replace the timer or agitation delay circuit board. Any help would be appreciated!
1 Answer Hello Jim, the load sensing switch is faulty, and internal relay contact is stuck closed. The part is WPW10248240. Read More...

1 Answer Jim, unfortunately, the model number provided is registering as a partial model number. If the full model number could be verified and posted in a new inquiry, this will allow for the most accurate information to be presented. Read More...
Mike August 07, 2017 for Model Number 11029822801 On certain wash cycle settings, the spin cycle does not drain all the water out. On other cycles it does. It's not the drain hoses, etc all that is fine. Is it the Timer switch? Or is it the Washer Agitation Delay Control Board? Or both? I'm suspecting the Timer since some cycles work others leave water in the bottom after spin cycle.
1 Answer Mike, With this happening on certain cycles then it does sound like the timer would be the issue with the unit. Read More...
Barbara August 13, 2016 for Model Number 11029822801 Re: Kenmore washer. Not sure what part should be replaced. The cycles are mixed up. Turning the dial to wash and the machine spins or the spin cycle will start to fill the machine. The casual cycle is the only one that sometimes works through the whole process but seems like the agitating is very fast. The machine is approx 7 years old. Any ideas?
1 Answer Barbara, The most likely cause for the unit to spin on wash or fill on spin would be a faulty timer on the unit. You will want to check the knob to make sure that it is in place properly but if this checks ok then the timer would be the issue. Read More...
Richard June 03, 2016 for Model Number 11029822800 Kenmore washer Machine will not start, fill with water or agitate. The only cycle that will work is the spin cycle. Raising the lid during spin cycle stops the machine as usual. Suspect the timer. Can it be anything else?
1 Answer Richard, If the unit will not fill with water then it will not agitate. You will want to check to see if there is power getting to the water valve when you turn the unit on. If there is power to the valve and the water supply is turned on then the issue will be a faulty water valve. If there is no power to the valve then the timer would be likely. Read More...
Joe April 10, 2016 Hello, I have a Kenmore washer and when I put it on regular wash it starts to agitate then fills with water and leaves the clothes soaking wet when its done. If I put it on any other wash type it works fine. I replaced the timer( W10187167 Washer Timer) once and it was fine for a while but now it is doing it again so do I need a new timer or do you think it could be something else? Thanks.
1 Answer Joe, Timers don't fail, that often, and the likelihood of it failing the sane as the previous timer is even more unlikely. First check and make sure the top of the drain pipe is high enough(39 -40 inches off the floor) check the water level switch and air tube for loose connections kinks twists,etc. then check the harness and switches in the remainder of the control panel components. If you need to repost a question, please include the model number of your product. Thanks Read More...
Ga33 March 08, 2016 for Model Number Kenmore model 800 The washer makes noise and agitator only rotates in one direction tying up clothes around it.
1 Answer GA33, The first thing to check is the lower agitator WP8578209 to make sure it's not stripped on the shaft and the agitator cam assembly WP8537434 to make sure the "dogs" aren't damaged or stripped. If those all check OK, proper, then the problem is in the gearcase/transmission 3360629 . Read More...
