Kenmore washer I have a Kenmore washing machine, model #24642300. It is a top loading machine. It fills with water just fine, but after that it does nothing. I am wondering if it is the lid sensor thingy blooper! I noticed on your site you said that when the lid is slowly closed you should hear a click. I do not hear a click. My washing machine will normally fill up with the lid open but does nothing else. The lid must be closed to make it operate. Thus, the reason for my suspicions. Do you have any ideas for me? Can I bypass that switch so it works regardless of the lid being opened or closed? Thanks for any help you can give me. Smiles, Teena

    Top loading washing don't always engage the door switch when door is closed because of what first appeared to be a bent door. Pressing down on door worked for months. You would hear click when switch engaged. How does this washer's door switch actually work and how can I bypass or fix the door/switch disconnect?

The switch can be bypassed BUT if you do be careful it is after all a safety device to prtect those who "know no better than stick their hand in a wash tub spinning over 700 rpm" the switch may be on the left side just behind left lid hinge on some it was even under right side and others on right edge of lid opening either the screw holes are broke off or lever is not pressing in to activate switch..1 other thing ck screws in hinges if left side is loose have seen it fail to engage switch lever

Fills with water and then nothing kenmore washer model 23822100 type 111

Top load machines will fill with water while the lid is open. Your problem starts when you close your lid. NOTHING happens. I believe this to be your LID SWITCH . Replace or have replaced and you should be OK. GOOD LUCK.

I have a top loading Kenmore Washing Machine. I don´t have the excat model but looks like a KENMORE HEAVY DUTY SERIES 70 AUTOMATIC WASHER, MODEL # 110.92273100. The problem presents after finishing...

You may have 2 defective parts.
First,make sure the hot and cold water hoses are connected correctly and both turned on.
If the water fill problem is the same,the water temp switch is bad.
The not filling after the wash cycle could be a bad lid switch.
Set the machine for SPIN and turn it on.
If it does not spin,replace the lid switch.

Leaks water

Probably a bad water pump. That is were the Kenmore usually leaks.
2 screws on the top panel right and left sides.
Remove these screws, tilt the control head backwards.
Remove the wiring harhess connector.
Remove 2 clips holding the cabinet to the back panel.
Remove the cabinet by pulling forward.
Pump is attached to front of motor.
