Zman March 18, 2013 for Model Number 11024944301 When I start the "Wash" cycle and the lid is closed, the machine starts to agitate immediately as the water is filling. The water stops filling at the correct level so I leave the lid open until water level is stops at the correct level. Machine continues to agitate until I close the lid and only then will the machine start the "wash" cycle. Then machine goes through the "Wash" cycle OK but will not drain unless I open and close the lid. During the "Rinse" cycle it continues to agitate (sometimes) and only stops agitating when the lid is opened, also it won't drain after the "Rinse" cycle unless the lid is opened. Next during the "Spin" cycle water is continually on. It drains the water out at the end of the "Spin" cycle (sometimes) but the clothes are soaking wet. Sometimes the water does NOT drain during the "Spin" cycle. I think it is the timer. What are your thoughts?
1 Answer Hello Zman. It can be the pressure switch or the timer, mostly sounds like the timer except the fill issue is more like the pressure switch. It may be best to replace the timer and pressure switch on the unit. Read More...
Scott February 08, 2013 for Model Number 11026942503 My Kenmore Elite Washer is starting agitating before water is in and also continuing to fill with water during the spin cycle leaving a full tub when the spin cycle ends. I saw on one of the posts here that it may be the pressure switch. Unfortunately, my model does not have a pressure switch listed. Just a pressure switch clip. It attaches to a hose for reference. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Scott, Your unit has a pressure switch but the manufacturer decided to refer to it as a water level switch W10335056. Read More...
Rob November 24, 2012 for Model Number Kenmore Elite (Whirlpool) Washer 11015952400 Direct Drive Intermittently won't spin or agitate and motor hums. Already changed out coupler. Repeatedly pushing in and out/moving of the cycle knob will start it back up. Pumps, fills, and drains fill. Lid switch is OK.
1 Answer Hello Rob, The issue is being caused by a bad cycle selection switch WP3954573. If you wiggle a switch that restores normal operation, even temporarily, the switch is normally the source of the issue. Read More...
David November 04, 2012 for Model Number Kenmore Elite 110 series My washer just quit working. It fills but does nothing from there on. I am assuming that it is the timer. I have checked the voltage and it reads at 118. I have checked the lid switch and it checks out good. I have also checked for any obstruction in the lines and it seems clear. My thoughts are that the timer is bad. But I am worried about paying for one and finding out it is not the problem. What do you think?
1 Answer Hello David, While it is a possibility that the timer could be bad, we will need your model number to help you with this. Please post your model number with a new question on the parts page. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx Read More...
Larry August 27, 2012 for Model Number 110-15952401 The washer begins agitating before the tub has water in it. The water correctly turns off when the tub is filled at the set amount. However the water continues to run during the entire spin cycle. I'm thinking the timer is malfunctioning.
1 Answer Hello Larry. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the pressure switch W10339317 is bad and needs to be replaced. Read More...
Betty March 31, 2012 for Model Number 110,24954300 Why does the machine fill with water in all cycles-spin,fill, and drain; and agitate at the same time?
1 Answer Hi Betty. This means that the timer part # WP8541110 has shorted internally. Have you had any storms lately ? Thank You. Read More...
Jon March 27, 2012 for Model Number 110.24942301 When in agitate mode machine just humms, in spin cycle is fine. Could it be the timer?
1 Answer Hello Jon. Yes, if the spin contact is stuck in the timer, and you set it on agitate, the power will be sent to both terminals of the motor and the motor will just hums. It sounds like the timer WP8541110 is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
Mollie February 01, 2012 for Model Number 110.26924502 In speeds, agitate/spin, xtra-slow/slow & slow/slow the 20amp circuit breaker trips before it goes into spin. The fast/fast mode does not trip the breaker. Why? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Mollie. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the motor WP8541504 is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
David L January 13, 2012 for Model Number 11024942300 you have to turn the timer nob befor it will go to rinse cycle...is it the timer ?
1 Answer David, Yes, it's most likely the timer WP8541110 based on your post, the timer motor has failed or the escarpment gears have stripped and won't advance the shaft/dial. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Lafayette December 17, 2011 for Model Number Kenmore Washer 110.24962300 All cycles work OK except in spin cycle water continues to run in during entire spin cycle. Why?
1 Answer Lafayette, It could be a timer contact problem if, the washer is filling and spinning only in the spin cycle(s). Otherwise you need to start looking at the fill valve sticking open WP3979346 during the "spray rinse" portion of the spin cycle. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
