HI THERE, IT SOUNDS AS IF YOUR PUMP IS BLOCKED, NOT WORKING OR SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS. START BY CHECKING THE PUMPS IS NOT BLOCKED, LOOSE CHANGE NORMALLY CAUSES THIS AND IS RELATIVELY EASY TO FIX.

Finding the pump on the Kenmore Elite top load washer is a fairly easy project that can be done in about a half hour. The Kenmore Elite is part of the GE line of appliances and shares many of the same interior mechanical parts and systems. The Kenmore Elite is a very streamlined exterior cabinetry design, but the interior can be accessed by removing just a few screws in order for you to locate the water pump.
things you'll need:

  • Screwdriver
    • 1

      Unplug the electrical cord of the Kenmore Elite top load washer from the electrical outlet before attempting to locate the pump.

    • 2

      Remove the end caps on the control console of the dryer by pressing in on the caps with your thumbs and pulling the caps forward to unfasten them.

    • 3

      Unfasten the screws on the ends of the control console in the front with a screwdriver and tilt the console back so that it rests on the back hinges.

    • 4

      Unplug the top lid switch from the rear of the lid that sits underneath the control console, pulling the switch straight up off the metal prongs by hand.

    • 5

      Pry the metal clips that sit on the top lid up with a screwdriver, lifting the clips to unlatch the top and pull the top lid cover off the washer base, setting it aside.

    • 6

      Locate the water pump at the base of the washing machine on the top of the motor shaft.

    • 7

    • take the cover off the pump and remove any blockage or debris.

thanks and good luck

iain

My 21882 top load Kenmore washer will start the cycle but stops after filling up; i can restart the cycle by pushing the knob in and going a little further in the cycle then starting again. But after a...

When the cycle doesn't advance, it's probably the timer or a cold-water supply problem:

  • It's the timer, if your washing machine fills with water and begins agitating, but the timer never advances--or if the washer is in a spin cycle and the timer won't advance. Then you need to replace the timer.


  • It may be a cold-water supply problem, if the washing machine fills with water, agitates, drains, and spins, but then doesn't fill with rinse water. See There's no cold water.

    Washer will fill with water but the agitator won't spin.

    No agitation or spin in any cycle? If so and the machine will drain check the coupler.

    Washer stops, won't fill, rinse or agitate


    • Check the following:
    Is the power cord plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet?
    Is the indicator on the Cycle Control knob properly lined up
    with a cycle? Turn the Cycle Control knob to the right slightly
    and pull to start.
    Are the water inlet valve screens clogged?
    Are both the hot and cold water faucets turned on?
    Is the water inlet hose kinked?

    • Does the water level seem too low, or does the washer
    appear to not fill completely? The top of the agitator is
    much higher than the highest water level. This is normal and
    necessary for clothes to move freely.
    • Has a fuse blown or is the circuit breaker open? If problem
    continues, call an electrician.
    • Are you using an extension cord? Do not use an extension
    cord.
    • Is the washer in a normal pause in the cycle? The washer
    pauses for about 2 minutes during certain cycles. Allow the
    cycle to continue. Some cycles feature periods of agitation
    and soak.
    • Is the washer overloaded? Wash smaller loads.
    • Is the lid open? The lid must be closed during operation.
    Washer will not agitate or spin with the lid open.
