Kenmore 26642 Top Load Washer Questions & Answers
Kenmore Model 110.26622690 This machine leak water
This assumes that you have a basic Kenmore / Whirlpool top load, direct drive, neutral drain (it doesn't spin until the pump removes most of the water) machine.
First, see the Sears parts site for your washer:
http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/getModel!retrieve.pd?modelNumber=110.26622690&pathTaken=partSearch
and you'll see a list of major sub-components with diagrams and parts.
See the section for the basket and tub assembly's
I'd pull the cabinet in order to get to the hoses going to and from the pump first.
See the following:

If the hoses are fine, check the shaft from the motor to the pump and check inside the pump to make sure the inlet and outlet aren't blocked.
I'd also check the gaskets at the bottom of the tub.
If you're reasonably mechanically inclined, these are easy fixes.
If you have to get to the gaskets at the bottom of the tub, see the following for how to remove the agitators, pump, motor, transmission, spin tube and basket.
(It sounds a bit complicated but it's not really that difficult.)

You don't have to buy a special spanner wrench to remove the spanner nut. I've used a short 10" pipe wrench hooked over one of the tabs on the spanner nut, tap the handle with a hammer and it should loosen.
Also, don't directly hit the drive block with a hammer. Use a short piece of wood under the drive block and tap up on the wood.
As an aside, see the following Whirlpool Service Manual for top load direct drive washers.

Depending on the problem (hoses or gasket) it's certainly less expensive than calling in a repair person.

Since the clicking appears to be connected to the brake operations I'd pull the drive tube / brake and inspect the springs / shoes for wear or damage.
Replace lid switch on kenmore washing machine top load model #110.24962301
Thats a simple one to replace. Unplug unit. Take a putty knife and release clips that secure console to top. They are located on each front corner of console. Raise lid. Unplug harness from switch. Take ground screw out that is part of switch assembly. Release plastic tab that holds switch in place and remove switch. Install and snap into place new switch with lid open. Put ground screw back in place and plug harness back into place. Lower lid and then raise and listen for clicking noise. Put console back in place. That’s it.
Kenmore filled up with water then quit working?
Question edited for clarity.
'then', a moment in time.
'than', a comparison between one thing and another.
It depends on the model, but usually related to the lid lock. Also check the breaker.
Why does my washer stop working after filling with water?
If the Top Load Washer stops after filling with water, be sure to check the house circuit breaker/fuse as well as the outlet and plug. Washers should be plugged into their own separate, dedicated outlet.

Kenmore washer 110.20022013 stops after wash cycle
Usually it's the lid switch..When you open the lip look straight down usually..When you close the lid it inserts a small plastic piece that goes into the hole telling the washer the lids down..If it broke it will make the washer stop mid cycle..You can stick a wooden (only made of wood) into the hole and sometimes it will start to work..Then you know that's the problem and just get your model number of the washer and replace it..Hope this helps
Kenmore 98702 center won't drain when using cold water cycle.
Troubleshooting: Check the drain hose: Ensure that the drain hose is not clogged or kinked. If it is, straighten it out and remove any blockages.
Inspect the drain pump: Check the drain pump for any debris or foreign objects that may be blocking it. Clean it out if necessary.
Check the lid switch: Ensure that the lid switch is functioning properly. If it is faulty, it may prevent the machine from starting the drain cycle.
Check the waste hose: Ensure that the waste hose is not clogged. A clogged waste hose can prevent water from flowing out of the machine.
If this troubleshooting does not work, you may have to turn to professional assistance from a repairman.

Well done for fixing it
Testimonial: "Thank you just seeing this now. A couple of days ago I tore it all apart again. I checked the clutch and everything was fine. To my disbelief the coupler that I replaced 2 months, separated from the metal insert. So, I purchased one that was all plastic. I got everything working but it was shaking really bad on the spin cycle. I happened to see some stating to check the skate plate and sure enough it wasn't lined up. Everything is working great but there's still a slight vibration on the spin cycle. I think I will replace the 3 plastic pieces under the skate plate. All the springs look great so still not sure why it's unbalanced when spinning out."
