Kenmore 44042 - No spin cycle

Our Kenmore 44042 Front loader has just stopped spinning.

My wife had an unbalanced load a couple of days ago and now it has stopped the Final Spin cycle.

Tried it on Fast and Normal settings and the same thing happens..

It drains the water out just fine, does the back and forth low speed tumbling but then when it is supposed to rev up, you can hear it whine a little and it starts turning but then slows down and does the back and forth tumbling again. I am halfway handy with a wrench/screwdriver and am happy to get it apart if anyone has a clue.

Thank you

 

Phil

The front load washers are supported by springs on the top and shocks on the bottom.  More than likely you broke a spring on the top or cracked one of the shock mounts which causes and unbalanced load all the time.  Will it go through a spin cycle with no clothes is it?

Asko 12005 washing machine vibrates and banging on side when spinning

The load has become unbalanced. Pause the machine in mid-cycle (do not Stop it) and when it ceases spinning, open it and re-distribute the load evenly. Then press Pause again to continue the cycle. Note: if you Stop it, then restart when finished balancing, the machine will start washing from the beginning instead of continuing from where you Paused it.

It appears as though this is a known problem with the spin control board component, so ordering a new board should solve the problem.

Shaking

Most common cause for the machine to shake during the spin cycle is due to a unbalanced load. A load of a couple of small bulky items or a small load in general may not be able to distribute the weight properly causing the machine to be unbalanced. It is best to wash full loads whenever possible. We have a brand new front loader as well, our first load about took the walls down...We just tossed a couple things in to see how it worked....thats how I learned to wash full loads. Now with the knowledge of why it shook so bad, we have had no more problems. Hope this helps
