Hi,
I've got a similar issue. I can press down on the center where the screw is and it spins during agitation, but once I release pressure, it ceases to spin. Actually it spins just a little bit- maybe about one rotation in a minute. I popped the cover of the center and it looks like the angled pieces aren't "catching" on the inner housing where there seems to be a sort of gear or ridges. I've read elsewhere about a transmission going bad...

I have same problem. My husband and I used a clothes pin to hold it down. I am looking for the part now.

Does the wash fill? Can you hear the motor running? I need further details in order to diagnose correctly.

Thanks a ton. It in fact was the Dogs. I was wondering what those pieces of plastic were inside the inner housing- at first I thought they were pieces of pineapple, but they were faded, broken off dog ears. This isn't from overloading. Just from time as the machine is close to if not over 15 years old.

Thanks again

Spin cycle does not drain water. The washer just stops when it gets to the spin cycle. The washer is a 70 series heavy duty.

Kenmore Series 70 Washing Machine Cycle stops at the point it would spin and drain. I am guessing it is possibly a bad lid switch.

Probably bad lid switch. Your ratchet noise is normal during the wash cycle.

Kenmore series 70 washer won't stop agitating when lid Is lifted.

I have a Series 80 and when I lift the lid it does not stop aggitating when in wash mode. When I lift the lid it does stop spinning when in rinse mode. As designed.

To stop wash-mode aggitation at lid-lift, using the existing lid switch and other electrical components, is not easy and not recommended. I can think of a way to do it (triple-pole lid switch) but I will not detail the idea .. for safety concerns.

To stop aggitation, simply use the main settings dial control. You'll save money and possibly prevent a fire hazard!

Water won't drain

This is usually caused by the lid safety switch. When the switch malfunctions, The washer believes the lid is open and the washer will not spin or empty. The switch is intended to prevent injury during the spin cycle. The timer could be bad but it is usually the switch..

Kenmore washer machine series 80

If it will not spin either, you most likely have a broken drive coupler. This machine is "direct drive" and has no belt. As techs, we see this several times during our work week. Otherwise, if you have the "two piece" agitator, you may simply need new "dogs" in the agitator. if the machine spins fine, fill it only on the smallest load size with no clothes in it. When the agitate cycle starts, take note if the bottom section of the agitator is going back and forth. If it is, and the upper part does not "ratchet" then you just need to rebuild the agitator and that is an easy job.

NO,your transmission is probably ok!! Inside your top end of agitator are these 4 plastic parts called "dogs" they need to be replaced.To be 100% sure ,do this first,Fill upthe machine on small load and while its washing look to see if the bottom end of agitator is moving back and forth ,if it is replace the dogs.In some machines you have to change the upper part of agitator.If the agitator is not turning at the bottom than,remove the top of agitator cover so you can get a extended half inch socket in to it and pull the agitator up and check the transmission splines.If they are smooth and cannot grab the agitator than your trans, is bad.
