they probably for got to remove the yellow brace in side the unit that holds the drum during shipping

check the motor

Mine issue was a loose connection. I removed the back panel and pushed in all the wires. The washer started working again. If you take off the back panel and the belt is broken then that could be your problem. Unplug the washer first.

Do you hear if motor is running (an humming noise) ?if you can then It sounds like a badly worn belt that slid on the tub (the washer succeed to spin- depending on clothes weight in tub) . Open the rear panel, check for belt status and if it really worn,replace it with a genuine belt from the manufacturer.
Be aware you should disconnected power cable from the machine before starting work on it.

It could be the computer board but in most of the cases the reason for your problem are: - A deffective lid switch - A blocked water-inlet line

this sounds like something has gone into the pump, coins or whatever, the objects need to be removed, also check the hoses, remove the plug to work on any appliance the buzzing is the pump trying to work but unable to go round, start there and see how you go if i have helped rate me please

you can take the pump apart by removing the 3 screws that hold it together. take it apart to make sure there nothing in it that could be blocking the impellar. if theres nothing in there, replace the pump

you must be fairly competent to have got this far! So! it now needs a bit of brute force. I assume you have removed the drive pulley? Now lay the unit down, 'pulley side uppermost', support the outer tub from the floor with a couple of bricks at either side to give floor clearance to the inner tub, use a piece of hard wood (to protect the shaft end) and give the wood a HARD BLOW with a 4 pound hammer. The shaft is just 'stuck' in the bearings. Dont mess around tapping the shaft end with a small hammer, you will only bruise the shaft end. As they WOULD say around here

The manufactures suggest putting washers on the back side of the hinge to draw the door tighter to the seal, otherwise you may have to replace the seal.

The front load washers are supported by springs on the top and shocks on the bottom.  More than likely you broke a spring on the top or cracked one of the shock mounts which causes and unbalanced load all the time.  Will it go through a spin cycle with no clothes is it?

bizzy, as long as you are satisfied that the pump is ok, try putting it into a diag mode and see if we can come up with an error code.  First wake up the machine by pressing any button, then within 5 seconds press and hold the two greyed out buttons on the right  (pause and start cancel). As long as you hold those 2 buttons in, the error code should be flashing. Keep holding them in. Now you will have to count the times the 5 leds on the right flash. When they stop, count the times the start button flashes.  This will give you the code.  Post back here with the results and we'll see if we can come up with a code..Catriver

You shouldn't take off the front. The switch is inside the washing machine main housing near the door frame and you have to raise or open the top to get an access to it. Good luck!

It sound like door lock unit is broken or removed from the door. Good luck !

Your leak could be coming from the rubber door seal. Inspect all the way around the rubber seal paying particular attention to the areas behind the rubber seal where it meets the wash tub. They wear with age and can develop small holes. When they start leaking it appears like water coming from under the machine. I hopes this helps.

If it is only leaking when you use warm water it is likely a leak from the delivery side of the hot water inlet solenoid. The only way to check is to remove the top and look. https://www.google.com/search?q=Kenmore+80+series+washer+92281100+leaks ..

Thats a simple one to replace. Unplug unit. Take a putty knife and release clips that secure console to top. They are located on each front corner of console. Raise lid. Unplug harness from switch. Take ground screw out that is part of switch assembly. Release plastic tab that holds switch in place and remove switch. Install and snap into place new switch with lid open. Put ground screw back in place and plug harness back into place. Lower lid and then raise and listen for clicking noise. Put console back in place. That’s it.

If this is the model ('700S' is a series name), the lid is no longer available.https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model/3fpuvflk1q-000583/kenmore-elite-79629272000-washer-partsSo best fixes would be silicone and liquid metal epoxy as needed.https://www.google.com/search?q=kenmore+top-load+700s+lid+replacementI also found this, if the 'rubber plug' is the pivot on the back edge, you could make one from a dowel and fix with epoxy.https://www.searspartsdirect.com/product/59z4rap6tv-0026-795/id-afg72909503..
