Question about Kenmore 94812 Top Load Stacked Washer / Dryer

1 Answer

Washing machine belt won't move

My washing machine belt started to smoke during the spin cycle. I got a new belt and it seems as if the pulley coming out of the motor is spinning very well but it will not turn the belt. When I grabbed the belt I found that the belt will not move in the direction that the pulley is spinning. Why is that? Is the transmission messing up? The belt will move by hand only in one direction, and not the same direction as the pulley.

You probably have bad spin tube bearings. Look above transmission for a water leak or evidence of one.

Why is my frigidaire washer not spinning?
  1. Stopped Mid-cycle
    • If your Frigidaire washing machine started spinning, but then stopped, verify that the power cord is still connected to the outlet. See if the outlet blew by plugging in a different appliance into the outlet. See if you blew a fuse. A blown fuse usually is either black or has broken wires. Replace the fuse. If you have a circuit breaker instead of a fuse box, reset the circuit breaker if it's been tripped. Check the lid switch, which is located inside the main housing of the washing machine, near the door frame. If the switch is burned out, order a new part from a Frigidaire parts dealer.
    Pump
    • The pump's sole responsibility is to remove water during the spin cycle. If the pump isn't working properly, see if it's clogged with debris or clothing. Use needle-nose pliers to remove these items. Check the pump pulley, which is connected to the pump. This component must move freely for the pump to work. If it won't turn, purchase a new pump pulley since you can't usually fix this component.
    Lid
    • Check the door latch assembly if the door isn't closing correctly. If any of these components are broken, order a new part from a Frigidaire parts dealer. If you do not, the washer won't start spinning since it believes the door isn't closed. Your Frigidaire washing machine won't start the spin cycle until the lid or door is closed. Always close the lid, and remove any items preventing the lid from fully closing. Always close the dispenser drawer.
    Additional Concerns
    • Never over- or under-load your washing machine. Your Frigidaire washer may not enter the spin cycle if the load is too large, since this can damage the washing machine. Remove a few pieces of clothing. If the load is too small, add a few similar items to the washing machine. Check the internal belt, drive motor and motor coupling. If any of these components are broken or very worn, they may not work properly, preventing the washer from entering the spin cycle. Order replacement parts from a parts dealer. Check the tub and basket bearings, and get new ones if the current ones have broken components or are defective.

Amana washing machine started smoking last night. It had just finished the wash cycle and was going to spin. The garage filled with smoke and it smells like burning rubber. No fire and it does not seem...
Sounds like seized . New could well be the next move .

MOTOR SMELLS OF BURNT MOTOR WINDINGS. iS IT NORMAL
No, the pump works while spinning. The burnt smell is probably the belt, especially if your wife saw smoke. Did she put a big load in it at the time?

The belt will slip until the tub catches up with the motor. If there is a heavy load, it can burn the belt up. I would replace it. Make sure the idler pulley on the motor moves freely also.

Samsung fully automatic washing machine
HI The drive belt (or belts) of a washing machine may become worn or damaged, causing noisy operation or stopping the washer entirely. A damaged drive belt is easy to replace. Remove the back panel of the washer to gain access to the belt. To remove the belt:

Step 1: Loosen the bolt on the motor bracket and move the motor to put slack in the belt.

Step 2: Remove the old belt and stretch a new one into place on the pulleys.

Step 3: To put tension on the new belt, use a hammer handle or a short pry bar to push the motor into position while you tighten the bolt in the adjustable bracket. The belt should have about 1/2 inch deflection when you press on it at the center point, midway between the pulleys. If the belt is too loose, it will slip on the pulleys, causing the machine to malfunction. If the belt is too tight, it will wear very quickly and will probably become so hot that it will start to smoke or smell.

Loose pulleys can also cause problems. Most pulleys are fastened to shafts with setscrews around the hub of the pulley. These screws must be tight or else the pulley or belt will slip. The resulting malfunction may seem to be caused by a faulty motor, but it can be corrected by tightening the pulleys and adjusting the belt. For this reason, always check the belts and pulleys before working on the motor.

Maytag LAT9356AAE drive pulley stuck during spin cycle
I had the same problem called a repair guy who told me the transmission is ceased up and the main bearing and seal is shot. Told me that Maytag uses defective parts in their machines and recommended direct-drive washer. Repair would cost more than to buy new. Sorry!

"howling" noise during spin cycle (still there after changing burned off belt)
Travioso, there was two service flashes out on this model concerning the seal and bearing which means they had an issue with this washer. The howling noise you are hearing is the bearing and will need the new designed triple seal and bearing kit. This should be covered under your warranty, I believe it is 5 years. The numbers for the service flashes are TDL-0048A-B. Call Maytag and inquire about these service flashes, these should be covered. Catriver.

Kenmore Laundry Center 94812 / 94814 drum problem My unit is popping the feed (mains) breaker while drying on any heat setting. The belt looks very good and the motor turns freely but the drum seems to resist turning by hand, so I'd like to check the bearing and felt drum seals. Can anyone offer me some disassembly instructions so I can get to these parts? Any other troubleshooting suggestions would also be appreciated. Thanks!

I replaced the timer, easy to do, no problems....except....I pulled the black tab all the way out. When I put it back in, I don't know if I got it alligned right (it's different on each side)...because it fixed what the washer was doing, but now it keeps going into the next cycle, instead of cutting off. Ex.: goes through the Permanent Press cycle, then goes into the Knit/Delicate cycle...keeps on going. Thank You!
