My washer stops after washing. It won't drain or spin. What is the problem?

Whats your washer brand name. Is it top load or front load. The model number. It all depend on your machine model.

If it is KENMORE or Whirlpool top load more than 6 years old, then most likely it is your door switch. It is straight forward fix and cheap.

I have a Kenmore top load washer model 20692. The washer won't drain and whenever the washer is supposed to turn all I hear is a hum. What could be the problem and is it worth fixing in a 10 year old...

Hi,
Sounds like you have multiple problems...you are right... probably not worth fixing...
Look at the front loaders... they use way less water and are more gentile on your clothing...



If you are having a problem with your top load washer then check out this tip...

I need instructions for replacing snubber pads

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/index.action

Enter your model number and you'll see a list of major sub-components with diagrams and parts.

Look at the diagram of the machine base.

If you have the basic Kenmore top load, you can use a thick screwdriver to pry the tub base up from the machine base and pop the old pads out.

Removing Back Panel of Kenmore Washer Model 11020902990

if its less than 15 years old its a direct drive whirlpool, no belt, remove the cabinet, not the back panel. look up direct drive whirlpool washer cabinet removal on internet, and replace the coupler, most likely, if it drains.

Smelly wash tub, in washer.

Model nums are fine in the store, if it is an oasis or calypso make sure drain hose is not in drain more than 5 inches. If not your pump might be going out or is clogged. A great cleaner developed is called washer magic and it will help the smell with some elbow grease. If not and is a traditional top load check motor and gearcase or even the timer for wear in a old machine.
