Viper454 November 14, 2020 for Model Number 11081863810 Symptoms, washer completes initial fill and agitation cycle, drains and spins after wash cycle, fills and agitates on rinse cycle, but appears to have trouble during final spin cycle. The machine initiates the spin cycle but makes a loud clicking sound, never makes it up to full spin speed and stops shortly after it starts the cycle. Clothes are left soaked and about 3 inches of water in the tub. I have replaced the clutch, transmission & coupling and also the timer switch assembly as a process of elimination. What else could this problem be?
1 Answer Viper454, check the wiring between the capacitor and the motor and the wires to the motor. Remove the drain pump and check to see if the impeller hub is "dragging" or "stiff" causing the motor to stall near the end of the cycle. If all checks OK, replace the WP8529896/WP8529896 Motor Start Switch. Thanks, Read More...
Jake October 22, 2019 for Model Number Kenmore 110.82670110 This washing machine has strange symptoms in that at the start of a cycle, it will already be agitating when it is filling. Then once full, it'll do some of the correct cycles, but it won't stop after spinning as it should...it'll then start filling again and once full, just stop with a full tub. I've already tried replacing the water level switch (Number:WP387383) but that had no effect. The only other option I'm considering is trying to replace the timer motor. Could that be the correct fix?
Jim May 14, 2017 for Model Number 11082870800 washing machine runs - drains completely, the goes into spin cycle,and spins/runs but clothes are still soaking wet at end of spin cycle. whats wrong?
1 Answer Jim, It's not likely a timer problem, you'll want to recheck and make sure the inner tub does spin at a high rate (600-700 rpm) . You would want to check the drive coupler between the motor and transmission to make sure the rubber cushion and the tabs on the coupler aren't bent,cracked or broken. Then lower the transmission assembly and check for a worn clutch pad, or "sticky" brake shoes. Read More...
Faye January 06, 2017 for Model Number Sears Kenmore model 1108870120 I have a Kenmore 110.82870120 that does not drain before spinning. I had the clutch replaced and now told the timer needs to be replaced. Only Intermittently the last spin cycle doesn't work, just hums but I can push the button in and back out and it starts just fine or just turn the dial back around to spin and it's ok but I cannot sit and watch my machine during each load. I've read that if water doesn't drain before spinning then the gearcase needs to be replaced or the clutch will wear out quickly. Both the gearcase and the timer are expensive parts to replace.
1 Answer Hello Faye, The timer and gearcase issues sound reasonable from the problem description described. If the expense is too much all at once, you can replace the timer WP661549 first and the gearcase 3360629 a little further down the road. It is an important part of the repair, but it is not as crutial as the timer. Read More...
Bobby April 15, 2014 for Model Number 110.82870100 Washer machine agitator spins during the fill mode. Could this mean the timer going bad?
1 Answer Hello Bobby. Yes, it sounds like the contact in the timer is bad and the timer WP661549 will need to be replaced. Read More...
Sue April 13, 2014 for Model Number 11081375150 My appliance has stopped cycling. I can manually move the knob through the cycles and it work well in each washing phase, but it doesn't change automatically.
1 Answer Hello Sue. Test for power to the timer motor. If there is power there, and the timer does not advance, you will need to replace the timer on the unit. Read More...
Greg March 24, 2013 for Model Number kenmore 11082870100 My washer is filling up and agitating ok but when it comes to draining out and spinning its not doing that. It just keeps agitating all the way through the cycle until it shuts off. If I mess with the switch by hand I can get it to work but it is not working on its own.
1 Answer Hello Greg. If you move the timer and it works properly, you will need to order and replace the timer on the unit. Read More...
Stephan February 16, 2012 for Model Number Kenmore 70 Series, Model 110.81878800 My washer does not fill on light, normal or heavy wash cycle setting, the tub does not fill with water. When I select pre-wash the tub fill both with cold and hot water depending on selection. The water turns off when tub is filled. Pressure switch seams to be working fine, and the fill valves are opening and closing in the pre-wash cycle, does tha mean the only thing left is the timer?
