KENMORE TOP LOAD WASHER

Have you unplugged it for a couple of minutes to see if reseting it will clear out the error

I don't know if you've tried this, but when my washing machine misbehaves or the buttons wig out or it stops working, I just unplug from 110 for a few minutes and plug it back in. This has always worked for me.

this is mainly because of having some problem in water drainage system. so make your drainage syatem proper

Sounds like you may have a faulty lid switch.

washer fills up with water when washer is off

POSSIBLE INSPECT MOTOR AND CAPACITOR

sounds like motor if nothing stuck between tubs or in pump ,check these first if ok you have bad timer

hi i would look at the lid switch

try to unplug and plug back after 30 seconds.

Maybe. Sounds like the motor is not agitating in the other direction??? There is a controller on this type of machine which handles the starting...direction of the motor..this is by far the most common for your description.
next would be the timer or transmission.
to check trans..grab top lip of bowl it should be locked in both directions. tilt machine back..you should be able to spin the pulley in both directions it not its the trans
I'm sorry bout the flow of this...not used to doing it like this...think i'm slowly getting better????
