20 Most Recent Kenmore 24712 Top Load Washer Questions & Answers

Here is a video to help you with the repair.

Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome to the site. If you have a washer that has a weak agitation or no agitation at all, here are some possible solutions. You need to check your belts. Most washers have one or two belts. Check your lid switch. If a lid switch is bad, it can cause the washer to not work properly. Sometimes, they will not work at all. Make sure you check your drive motor. The drive motor controls the spinning, draining, and agitation. Most washers have the reverse motor, meaning the shaft rotates in both directions, clockwise and counterclockwise. It is possible to lose one direction and not the other. Some washers have a clutch that controls the agitation. If it is bad or worn, it may prevent the agitator to work. Most of these washers come from General Electric. You could have a bad motor coupler. They are located on the side of the motor drive inside the washer. It is also possible that you have a bad transmission. Check the agitator itself. You could have a bad spline or two. The splin accompanies the shaft and allows the movement of the agitator. If you rule out all the parts above, you may have an electrical issue or an issue with the control board. It is very important to test each part and make sure it is getting power. If a part is not working and not getting any power, the power loss may be the reason that it doesn't work. You can test the current in the wires with a voltage meter.

There are a set of "teeth" in these agitators that where out. Pull the fabric softener dispenser off. Remove the screw holding the agitator in place and pull it up and out of the tub. Then you'll have to separate the agitator, just pull really hard, using a forked object like a tree (seriously). Then you will see the dog ears 4 of them get replacement parts install in reverse. It will work great, like new.

Hello Friend, Just replace the water pressure/level switch. Replacement will make it fill correctly and agitate. Happy to help.

I would guess it is a belt issue. You may have a worn drive belt that is making all the noise.

GE Washing machine will not spin

First, see the Sears parts site for your washer:

Also see the Whirlpool Service manual for top load, direct drive washers including test procedures and a troubleshooting section.

If you manually move the timer to the spin cycle and it drains and spins, the motor and transmission are OK.

If it won't do anything after filling, the problem points to the timer or motor.

It is relatively easily repaired but you'll have to decide if the cost is worth the repair.

Personally, I tend to fix rather than replace so I'm probably not the one to ask.

the agitator dogs are found under the top half of the agitator. take out the agiator and you will see 4 cream colored pieces of nylon, these are the dogs and they wear down and the agitator will not move. you do not need any kind of tool to change them.

Tweetly, no spin, no drain, usually a sign of a broken lid switch. Also check the switch actuator on the lid. Lid switch part number 3949238. Check that out first and post back. Catriver.

If it is only leaking when you use warm water it is likely a leak from the delivery side of the hot water inlet solenoid. The only way to check is to remove the top and look. https://www.google.com/search?q=Kenmore+80+series+washer+92281100+leaks ..

Thats a simple one to replace. Unplug unit. Take a putty knife and release clips that secure console to top. They are located on each front corner of console. Raise lid. Unplug harness from switch. Take ground screw out that is part of switch assembly. Release plastic tab that holds switch in place and remove switch. Install and snap into place new switch with lid open. Put ground screw back in place and plug harness back into place. Lower lid and then raise and listen for clicking noise. Put console back in place. That’s it.

If this is the model ('700S' is a series name), the lid is no longer available.https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model/3fpuvflk1q-000583/kenmore-elite-79629272000-washer-partsSo best fixes would be silicone and liquid metal epoxy as needed.https://www.google.com/search?q=kenmore+top-load+700s+lid+replacementI also found this, if the 'rubber plug' is the pivot on the back edge, you could make one from a dowel and fix with epoxy.https://www.searspartsdirect.com/product/59z4rap6tv-0026-795/id-afg72909503..

Question edited for clarity. 'then', a moment in time. 'than', a comparison between one thing and another. It depends on the model, but usually related to the lid lock. Also check the breaker. Why does my washer stop working after filling with water? If the Top Load Washer stops after filling with water, be sure to check the house circuit breaker/fuse as well as the outlet and plug. Washers should be plugged into their own separate, dedicated outlet. ..

Usually it's the lid switch..When you open the lip look straight down usually..When you close the lid it inserts a small plastic piece that goes into the hole telling the washer the lids down..If it broke it will make the washer stop mid cycle..You can stick a wooden (only made of wood) into the hole and sometimes it will start to work..Then you know that's the problem and just get your model number of the washer and replace it..Hope this helps

You start with under the agitator, then the filter, then the pump, then the hoses at the base of the drum and then everything else. Then you find nothing and remember you took it out of your pocket and put it in........ ..
