Kenmore washer drains but won't spin.

Hello, I have a sears kenmore model 110 20902990 washer that doesn't spin but does drain. The motor is turning but drum doesn't engage. It did smell as if something was hot or burning. Also there was some black dust (rubber) under the machine. thank you!

I replaced the motor coupling on my washing machine and it now agitates and spins. The new problem is that it does not have the power it used to. It spins slowly and does not agitate like it used to.
What is my next option? What can it be? HELP! I have the heavier load accumulating.

The first thing you should check would be that you had pressed the motor coupling far enough onto the motor shaft and the the shaft on the gear case the shafts should be flush with the coupling if not this will cause a bind on the motor and also cause it to have a hard time starting

    I have the same problem where I replaced the motor coupler and have agitation and spin, but smell something scanky and burning. I checked and I did not seat the coupler completely, but fixing that did not get rid of the smell. I am wondering if something is dragging. The motor feels hot to the touch after just one agitation cycle and one spin cycle.

Washing Machines will not rinse or spin

If the water won't drain out of your washing machine, either something is stuck in the drain hose or pump, or the pump is broken. Both fixes are simple if you're even just a little bit handy with tools. We're showing the repair on a Maytag washing machine.
What is wrong with a washer that does not spin?
If your washer fills with water but doesn't agitate, the problem is likely to be a faulty lid switch, a broken belt, or a problem with the motor. (Note: Direct-drivewashing machines do not have belts.) To diagnose the problem, do the following: 1Check the washing machine's spin cycle.

What causes a washing machine not to drain and spin?
If the washer won't drain there might be a clogged pump or hose. It's common for small socks or other small clothing items to get into the water drain system and clog the hose leading to the pump or the pump itself. Remove the hoses from the pump in order to remove the article of clothing.

Kenmore Washer 70 series Model #110.22722100 won't spin

Check door switch: If the lid switch is bad it will not drain or spin. Try this test: With lid open let it finish wash cycle. Press lid switch down with screwdriver. Washer should begin draining. Release switch. Motor should stop. Press switch a second time. Washer should start spinning as it continues to drain. If motor doesn't come on while lid switch is pressed, replace the switch. OR

Sears washer model 417.43042200 won't agitate or

This is typically a sensor issue. If the door sensor is malfunctioning, this will cause the washer not to enter the wash cycle. The wash motor is separate from the drain motor, so this may also be a control board issue. Contact Sears, as the control boards are typically under warranty longer than other parts.

I have a Kenmore top loading washer model #110 and won't agitate

First, see the Sears parts site for your washer.

Also see the Whirlpool (Kenmore) Service Manual for top load, direct drive washers.

The first thing I'd try is using a different cycle. If the washer works as it should, the problem points to the timer.

I'd also check to make sure that when replacing the switch, the connections to the timer haven't come loose.

Since you've replaced the Lid Switch, the motor has power for the drain and spin cycles.

These washers use a reversing motor. The motor turns one way for agitating and reverses for the drain and spin.

Since you cannot hear anything when it is supposed to be agitating, the problem does point to the timer or motor.

My kenmore washer won't spin

I just had the same problem last week. It would not drain or spin. I called Sears and they said to drain it on my own with the shop vac and unplug it for three minutes and it should reset itself. Turns out it didn't Sears came out and told me the motor was bad and it would cost $850.00 to fix it.

Kenmore washer drains but won't spin.

Sounds like the motor coupling has broken, fairly inexpensive part but does require some finesse to install. let me know if you decide to attempt it.
