Steve May 23, 2014 for Model Number 11020702990 My washer runs through it cycle but when it comes to the spin cycle it won't start spinning until you either lift the lid or pull & push the switch . Once it starts spinning it seems to spin fine and spins all the water out of the clothes. I have already checked the water pump and removed the wash drum and checked for debris clogging the the pump inlet every thing is ok there. Any ideas ?
1 Answer Hello Steve. You need to order and replace the lid switch WP3949238 on the unit. Read More...
Jeff April 27, 2014 I have a old Kenmore heavy duty portable washing machine that hooks up to the kitchen sink. The machine will no longer fill in any of the wash cycles, however, if I select the rinse cycle I can get it to fill that way. Any solutions?
1 Answer Hello Jeff, This is most likely a failed hot water inlet valve. Since this is model dependent, I am unable to look up the part number for you. If you would like us to look up the part number for you, you can re-post with the model number from the units' I.D. tag or you can call in at 1-877-477-7278 and one of our reps will be happy to look it up for you.

Aaron November 12, 2013 for Model Number Kenmore 110.92596100 I have an old Kenmore washer that my wife and I really like. We inherited it from a family member and it has been running fine for the last two years. Recently though, it has been stopping directly before it drains the washer. Often times we'll come back to find that all of our clothes are suspended in water and the washer has just stopped. From there we can usually play with the knob and eventually get it to drain and once it does it finishes the cycle fine. However, sometimes it takes a couple of tries to get it to get past whatever glitch it seems to be encoutering directly before it drains. Is this a likely problem with the timer? Is there any way to test to see if that is the problem before buying a new one?
1 Answer Hello Aaron. You have already tested the unit if you can play with the timer and it starts to work. Then the timer is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Gloria August 25, 2013 for Model Number 110.20722990 My washer fills with water but nothing else happens. It does not spin, agitate, or drain. Could the problem be the lid switch?
1 Answer Hello Gloria. Yes, it could be the lid switch and you will need to check it. 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...
Kevin July 31, 2013 for Model Number 11020712990 So I changed the clutch assembly as suggested but it still will not start to spin in the reg or HD cycles only the gentle and hand wash. agitates and drains just fine but when it gets to the spin for the rinse or final spin it simply jerks like it want to start spinning but wont and drains. If I push in the control knob and pull it back out you can see the tension release on the drum and it will spin. I am very thankful for the help but cant afford to just keep going part after part.
1 Answer Kevin, This issue would be caused by an internal problem with the transmissions spin gear cam. This would require the transmission 3360629 to be replaced. Read More...
Kevin B July 30, 2013 for Model Number 11020712990 Kenmore series 70 washer washes fine but will not start the spin cycle in the regular or heavy duty cycles. It drains but will only start to spin if you push the control know in and wait a second to pull it back out then it does spin. Would this be a clutch issue or a timer problem as it is not in every cycle?( reg and HD are used most) thanks for your help
1 Answer Hello Kevin. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the clutch assembly 285785 needing to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Mike February 15, 2013 for Model Number 11020722990 My kenmore washer will not go through the wash cycles. It will stay on the wash cycle all day if I let it. I have to advance it to the next cycle by moving the knob. I suspect it's the timer but not sure.
1 Answer Hello Mike, Based on the information the timer would be the problem. You will want to double check the lid switch to make sure that it is not making intermittent contact. Read More...
Don January 07, 2013 for Model Number 11020702990 kenmore washer filled tub with water and started agitating but it stopped within a few seconds. I turned timer switch back to start agitator and starts but stops immediately. My question is do I need a new timer switch. Thank You for your help.
1 Answer Hello Don, You would check for something clogged in the pump or a bad lid switch connection. You will also want to check your motor to see if it is getting proper voltage. Read More...
Steve January 05, 2013 for Model Number 11026702690 Washing machine overfills onto floor on wash and rinse cycle but it will work if the timer is manually turned, and works independently well on other cycles. Would this be a timer prob.?
1 Answer Hello Steve, This sounds more like a defective water level switch W10820051 since it is responsible for turning the water off. Read More...
Bob July 24, 2012 for Model Number 11020712990 Washer is over filling. If I try filling several times then it will work normal for days. Will act up again and over fill. Water level set on large load. I think its the timer not sure.
1 Answer Hello Bob. If you can stop the water from entering the machine and overflowing by turning off the timer or unplugging the unit, you will need to look for a bad pressure hose or replace the pressure switch. If the only way to shut off the water is at the shut off for the water hoses, you will need to replace the water valve in the unit. Read More...
