Susan April 08, 2015 for Model Number Kenmore Model 110.26832692 The washer is set for one rinse but it always does the second rinse. Does the timer need to be replaced?
1 Answer Susan, If the second rinse switch is a dial in which you have to select the cycle then this switch would most likely be the cause for the issue. Read More...
Joe December 01, 2011 for Model Number Kenmore 110.26844694 Yes, thanks for your help. In an interesting turn of events, my wife ran the washer again last night (intending to wring the clothes out by hand) and it now works without me doing anything to it. She said she changed some settings on the control panel, put a load of clothes in, and it ran (initially making some unusual noise during the spin cycle). Now the entire washing cycle works without a problem. If the problem reoccurs, where would I connect the voltmeter probes? Should I strip the wires going to the motor near the timer?
1 Answer Hello Joe. You will test where the wires plug into the motor. Hopefully, the unit will continue to run for you. Thank you. Read More...
Joe November 30, 2011 for Model Number Kenmore 110.26844694 Thanks for the response. I have several follow-up questions: 1) How do I check whether the timer is sending power to the motor? Does the washer need to be filled with water (test during an actual wash cycle) or is there something easier? 2) If it is not the timer, then it is the "motor assembly". Does this mean the motor, or the drive system that includes the motor, clutch, and transmission?
1 Answer Hello Joe. Yes, you will test it by turning the timer to spin cycle and turning on the machine. If the motor has power, but does not run, you will only replace the motor. Hope this helps. Read More...
Joe November 29, 2011 for Model Number Kenmore 110.26844694 Washer fills, agitates, rinses, and drains -- it does not spin. When it gets to the spin portion on the timer, the machine makes no sound other than the progression of the timer. If only 1 rinse is selected, the wash cycle ends; if 2nd rinse is selected, it will move on to the second rinse (fill and drain) but again will not spin. Lid switch seems to work correctly (checked continuity also timer will stop progressing if lid is opened during spin cycle). Is this a timer problem (my guess) or a clutch/transmission problem.
1 Answer Hello Joe. Test and see if the timer WP3951708 is sending power to the motor. If not, you will need to replace the timer. If there is power to the motor during spin, but it does not run, you will replace the motor assembly. The motor reverses directions during the spin cycle. Hope this helps. Read More...
