Series 90 Kenmore washes but won't rin...




By jmiller366 on Jun 16, 2009

I have the Kenmore series 90 Plus HD washer and it will agitate but nothing after the wash. It will not drain, rinse or spin. Washes/agitates, but then stops after cycle and water remains in tub.

Checked the coupling and it is fine. Familiar with this and was hoping that was the issue because I have replace it before. This is model# 110.28932790stock# 28932

The reset worked a couple of times on the water level after I opened & closed the lid, now nothing. Agitates, then sits and won't go to next cycle.

A washer that fills and doesn't do anything, or stops right after the wash cycle and then does not advance to the rinse cycle and drain is commonly caused by a lid switch malfunction. The lid switch is usually mounted under the washer top casing, on the right hand side on most top load models. It is activated by a plastic piece on the lid (called a "Lid Strike") through a small hole on the rim of the wash tub opening. In many cases the lid strike breaks off the lid, or the lid switch becomes loose and no longer makes contact. Inspect the lid to make sure the lid strike is still intact, and then inspect the mounting screws (adjacent to the small opening on the wash tub rim) and make sure they are snug. If you determine the switch to be defective, the following link explains how to replace one:

If the switch requires replacement, a new one can be purchased on line at searspartsdirect.com, pcappliancerepair.com, repairclinic.com, appliancepartspros.com. Just use your model number as your search criteria. All these sites offer competitive pricing, so shop all them for the best price. If you still need assistance, please contact me and let me know. If my diagnosis is not correct, please post back and elaborate a bit more so I can assist you further. If your washer is not configured this way, or if you still have questions, please let me know.
