Kenmore Washer Poor spin, Drain, out of balance

If the lid does not lock the safety controls will not allow a spin. Look for a broken lid lock - either the lock assembly or the small latch finger that inserts into the lock.

With no model number there is no way to be more precise. Sears Kenmore is sourced from more than one supplier (manufacturer) and there are literally thousands of models over the years.

Sounds like either a wire has come loose from the switch or the motor that spins the the ( may be integral part of switch ) has gone bad.

out of balance or too much clothes.... try removing half the load you put in and try again ...............Good Luck.

They overload easy, and get out of balance easy, so check for those two problems by rearranging or removing some clothing.

when you tipped the washer was the drain hose still attached? and if so was the drain hose elevated? most top load washers will have an amount of leftover water in the bottom of the tub. with the drain hose off and the washer tipped towards the rear you should lose any excess water. also try to open the top of the agitator to see if there is any water trapped there. hope this helps....

Try this first.

Washer won't drain or spin
• Is the drain hose clogged, or the end of the drain hose
more than 96" (2.4 m) above the floor?
• Is your voltage low?
Check electrical source or call electrician. Do not use an
extension cord.
• Is the "SUD" routine active?
Cycle will complete once extra suds are removed.
• Is the load balanced?
A single or bulky item may cause imbalance. Add more items
or redistribute the load.

ck lid switch ..rug may have gotten off balance first spin and broken lid switch

i cleaned out the pump under the front bottom panel

don't suspect yet for the belt! if the motor runs then the belt could be the problem but not exactly! you could tighten the belt by adjustments of some components.

for the drain, make sure that the drain hose is placed down. try to look for connection for the drain knob going to the drain outlet. it could just be a cut/broken line!

notice also if there is a leak (water) on the bottom of the washer spinner. if it has, then the water seal has worn out causing slipping and poor spinning!
