Model # 82891120 kenmore washer will not spin or agitate..

It could be the agitator dogs (which can cheaply be replaced). It is not the motor coupling as it spins. If the aggitator assembly is broken, that is another matter. Here is a video related to replacing the dogs. https://www.appliancepartspros.com/repair-help/kenmore-washer-11023012101-repair/11023012101-will-not-agitate.html Here is text about the dogs. https://homeguides.sfgate.com/obsessively-clean-gadgets-13771620.html and

The following site offers an agitator repair kit. I have no idea what is in it but you could inquire. The point is, you have to step by step eliminate the possible causes. And to DIY it, you have to locate the instructions about testing each possible cause in turn. Sears offers diagrams and so forth. There may be additional YouTube videos about each possible cause and a procedure.

try ask jeaves

Yours is a 2 speed motor. Does it spin in 2 different speeds. If so, then it most likely is designed with only to agitate in 1 speed. If it only spins in one speed, then your motor is defective

the lid switch controls the spin cycle, pump probably has clogged

the drive coupling or clutch is bad ! the coupling is between motor and the transmission. on a lot of washers its rubber or hard plastic to keep from ruining appliance if it breaks.this is why washer will not spin.

Take a look at this tip I wrote on the no agitate or spin condition of your washer.

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.

This model has a safety switch in the door switch. This switch goes bad and the machine will not spin or agitate. Have that replaced and you will be back in business. Hope this helped you out. Good luck.

I need to get the model of the washer. (e.g. 123.123456789). This will greatly help to identify the problem and a fix for the washer. Thanks
