You need to check the lid switch, does it click. you can unplug and then remove the 2 screws to see it, if it looks like it is coming apart then the lid switch is bad. you can buy one for about $40 or so dollars. i am assuming it doesn't spin either.

    ok i want you to open the lid and twist the agitator, the agitator sits on top of the shaft in side the drum. if you can twist it back and forth with out it grabbing anything, then your agitator dogs are bad. they cost like 5 bucks. pop of the little lid on the agitator and then remove the nut at the bottom of the agitator. replace the 4 little dog ears, they look like tear drops or commas with teeth. just pay attention on how the come out so you can put them back in. kelly

Kenmore elite 90 series 11028902790 fills w/ water & agitates. On drain cycle it won't drain unless you put drain hose to floor drain position. Drains water but will not start the spin cycle. Help

It is either a bad pump or a bad control. Call Sears. Hard for the homeowner to fix. If not in warranty, ask them how much to fix and then decide if the old one is worth the money. If the machine is 10 years old, go for a new one.

My wahser just stopped working it filled with water and then started agitating and then all the sudden stopped please help

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

    Kenmore series 70 washer will only fill with water.

    I recently had this problem. It was found that the main drive belt broke and the washer would fill but not spin, agitate or drain. I replaced the belt and everything worked again. A defective or disconnected cover switch would also cause the same problem.

    Kenmore washer 80 series 110 model not spinning.

    unless your washer is over 20 years old, then it wont have a belt. the temperature of the water wont have anything to do with it spinning or not.
    need to know if it agitates or drains and just wont spin.
    if it agitates but no spin or drain, then you have a bad lid switch.
    if it wont agitate or spin, but will drain, then you have a broken drive coupling.

    Broken Washer

    it could be the direct drive coupling that connects the motor to the transmission. fill it up with water and see if it will agitate, if it will NOT agitate then it is a good chance that this is the problem. 0404472.jpg

    worse case scenario is the transmission is bad, but this is unlikely.

    Kenmore 80 series washer

    Your transmission is not engaging thats why the speed changes your making will sometimes get it to work.Honestly any machine after the 10 year age mark is not worth the cost of replacing the transmission.

    Kenmore 80 series top loading washer won't agitate and is noisy

    Sounds like u may have broken the coupler gear between the motor and transmission... the replaced the belt with these gears on this model... But should go fill & pumb water out and NOT spin Or agitate... IF these gears or broke or stripped... heavy loads like u  said would do this... recheck and see if wash will pumb water out But will NOT agitate or spin.. IF so the above is your problem  and is Not to hard to repair  or much money

    Below is a pic with the motor remove the white piece in the middle is 1/2 of the gear system with a rubber piece in the middle (not there)  and another like gear on the motor
    sounds like these gears may be broken or stripped on your washer
