The elements should not be red as this indicates a lack of water to cover the elements
that would account for the spinners not working as the pump will not be pumping water to make them spin
check the water level or call a technician to diagnose the problem properly and quote

Hi, I've got a Kenmore model 110.70052991 and the drum won't rotate. It will intermittently. I have just replaced the belt and it still won't spin consistently. Could it be the

are u able to spin the drum manually? do u hear any sounds? squeaking? scraping? smell anything? the rollers (spinners lol) usually make funny noises when they go out and may still turn but roughly. Bad bearings may be an issue here? However if the motor has bad windings it may not have enough power to run (turn) drum consistantly, u can remove the drum and belt and housing and run the motor by itself and see if it turns and runs easily. with no pressure or weight added? Then add drum and belt, once the drum is added and it stops or runs half hazardly its ur motor ? In some cases the tensioner the belt sits on ( near the motor) can be damaged and cause similar problems , lastly u did add the belt correctly?

I've got mould in the little squares of my salad spinner. What's the best way to clean it?

I'm guessing that your salad spinner is made of plastic. If you don't have a dishwasher with a hot water option, I would fill your sink with very hot soapy water and let it soak until the water cools. By then, most of the mold should have come off and you can simply rinse it.

What does a salad spinner do?

A salad spinner washes and takes away extra water from the lettuce/spinach/etc. The lettuce spins around which creates a centrifugal force. This force gets rid of the water.

My maytag neptune dryer dc is heating but is not spinning

If the clutch fails the first thing noticed is a UC or DC error displayed and there is no drain or spin.

If you are seeing the above error and having a problem with spin and drain then the most likely cause of this is the clutch. The clutch fails to lock down the spinners and the basket is unable to go into spin and without a 90 RPM there is no drain.

Replace the clutch.
