Kenmore 98702 Stacked Washer/Dryer Logo
Anonymous Posted on Jan 15, 2009

Cold water pours in during final spin

I have a Kenmore stacked washer/dryer combo model number 417.98702891 (not sure of the year). When I run it through the regular cycle with the water set to Hot/Cold, it works perfectly. When I run the same cycle on Cold/Cold, it doesn't. It will fill and drain fine, spins at full speed, and the water shuts off when it is full.

The problem is that the final part of the cycle, the spin, it will pour water out while spinning thus making the clothes wet when it is done (occasionally the tub will be partially full at the end of the cycle). If I switch the water from Cold/Cold to Hot/Cold during this final spin, the water will turn off and it will function normally. It does this for all cycle settings.

At first I suspected the timer was bad, but I now suspect it is the cold water inlet valve. However, if it is the cold water inlet valve, why would it work fine throughout the cycle except during the final spin?

No - the timer is the likely suspect.

Just purchased used a Kenmore stacked washer/dryer: tub spins during aggitation cycle. So my clothes are spinning around in water but not being aggitated. Now Im aggitated!! Grr!! How much will it cost...

Sounds like the plastic spacer between the transmission and the tub has broke. Part is no more than 5-10 bucks. Labor, not sure. Did you buy the warranty....I think you still have time to buy it if it's new... But I think Kenmore may guarantee for 30 days but you may want to call where you bought it from new.

Water under stackable washer dryer

The front panel comes off and you will be able to trace the water source. These combo units spin immediatly and if the drain is slow the water will spin up over the edge of the tub during drain.

No rinse

Make sure that you have both, hot and cold water connected and turned on. Some models will not advance through rinse if one of the hot or cold is off. See if this solves the problem, Catriver.
