Kenmore 3.2 cu. ft. Plus Top Load Washer - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

If you have moved it recently there were some Kenmore washers that had pins on the tub underneath that fit into sort of cups. I leaned mine over and didn't get them back into place and it shook like a earthquake . There are some machines with bumpers underneath that keep the tub from moving too far to the sides. See if you can move the tub by hand side to side on all four directions to check movement. Go online and check your model for recalls, consumer complaints, world of wealth on the net.

Maybe lid switch is bad. I think that model has a fuse in the switch assembly if I remember correctly.

Hi,

It sounds like it could be the coupling that has worn or broke, to verify this put the washer in spin, let it drain the water out (if it will) then turn off the timer or open the lid, wait 10 seconds or so then start back up in spin. If the washer just whines then it is most likely the coupling. I have put together some instructions on this if you follow this link it will tell you more about it and how to replace it if you wish. Let me know if this helps.

Most likely the sight of water leaking from the front of the machine, means it is leaking from somewhere else. Check all inlet and outlet hose connections. Hard water deposits build up and can cause minor leaks over time. If it is only noticeable during the wash cyclee,(agitating) it is possible there is a leak in the drum. Rare, but possible.

Go back to 5 and see if 6 comes back?

The appliances were not designed to be stacked so I would not attempt it if anything I would build a shelf (ledge) to put the dryer on, then bracket it to the wall but be careful of the height especially with a gas dryer and be sure to have plenty of space for airflow. Good luck

no it is not suppose to slip it sounds like the agitator dogs need replacing it is quiet easy to repair and not expensive it only cost me $8 and took twenty minutes to do when I replaced the ones on my washer

Looks like you have low voltage or a defected run capacitor problem.

sounds like the clutch is bad

What's your model number? "Series 90" doesn't really help, there's a lot of machines with that number.

The cubic feet of the Kenmore washer model 110 heavy duty is 2.8 cubic feet. Measured to the top water line 14.5 inches and using the radius of the tub of 10.375 inches.

the lid switch controls the spin cycle, pump probably has clogged

First remove the back panel, and pry off the top, start with the front. only clips holding in place. be careful with the paint.

what is your model number is then we can get started then okay

call Chas&Son,s appliance repair at 570-379-0993 and they will come out the same day no less okay

It is a common fault that the drain fails to work in most machines in a period of time and is the most problematic fault in a washing machine. In all occasions it is important that your observation is most important and so is vital to the identification /rectification and solution. If you have noticed that water has leaked then as the drain hose pump/valve and fittings are located on the underside of the machine it is important that you look for possible leaks here. In some cases the drain hose would be clogged at the drain end to outlet of the house and so there will be back flushing resulting in overflow to the outside. Also the drain pump/valve can be clogged. Now remove the drain hose clamps and remove the drain pump/valve, clean the drain pump/valve, use back flushing to clear off all dirt. Now test using power to see if this works and can be simulated. When refitting, the hose must be tightened properly. If the pump/valve does not work even with power then it must be replaced. If there is intermittent power to the drain valve/pump then the program controller unit is a suspect.

Finally the washer must be placed with a tilt- use a spirit level- so that all water will drain to the outlet port and thereby there is no residual water remaining.

If drain hose is connected to a standpipe check that it's inserted no more than 4". You may be getting a syphoning situation that is allowing gray water to contaminate clean clothes.
