Washer will not run Kenmore 90 Series 2872 Top Load

MOTOR OR CAPACITOR BAD POSSIBLY LID SWITCH BUT NOT LIKELY

If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/elite_9cbd96cb0728162b

My washer did the same thing and it was the safety switch that determines if the washer lid is closed or not. If you replace the safety switch it will spin and drain again. :)

This assumes that you have a basic Kenmore / Whirlpool top load, direct drive, neutral drain (it doesn't spin until the pump removes most of the water) machine.

First, see the Sears parts site for your washer:
http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/index.action

Enter your model number (###.######) and you'll see a list of major sub-components with diagrams and parts, part numbers and Sears prices.

If your complete model number is
110.22992100See the following:

I assume that you're talking about the Lid Switch.

Most local appliance parts should have the switch since it is one of the most likely parts to be replaced.

On the Sears site, you may see a comment in effect "manufacturers authorized substitute". If the first three digits of the complete model number are 110, the washer was made by Whirlpool and those are Whirlpool numbers. Again, usually available at appliance parts stores.

sounds like a bad water valve. Try disconnecting for a few minutes. If problem continues, the solenoid on the water valve is staying open which means the circuit is not opening. Replace valve.

you probably need a new clutch (Whirlpool Washer Clutch Kit 285785 fits kenmore too) , or your gear case is shot.

Sounds like the timer has failed. It's a common problem.

Part number 8545379, $83.69 from SearsPartsDirect.com

You have a broken lid switch. Its # ll in the diagram. Part # is 3949238. Let me know if you need info on how to replace it, Dave www.washermd.com

KENMORE ELITE TOP LOAD

Washer stops, won't fill, rinse or agitate


• Check the following:
Is the power cord plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet?
Is the indicator on the Cycle Control knob properly lined up
with a cycle? Turn the Cycle Control knob to the right slightly
and pull to start.
Are the water inlet valve screens clogged?
Are both the hot and cold water faucets turned on?
Is the water inlet hose kinked?
• Does the water level seem too low, or does the washer
appear to not fill completely? The top of the agitator is
much higher than the highest water level. This is normal and
necessary for clothes to move freely.
• Has a fuse blown or is the circuit breaker open? If problem
continues, call an electrician.
• Are you using an extension cord? Do not use an extension
cord.
• Is the washer in a normal pause in the cycle? The washer
pauses for about 2 minutes during certain cycles. Allow the
cycle to continue. Some cycles feature periods of agitation
and soak.
• Is the washer overloaded? Wash smaller loads.
• Is the lid open? The lid must be closed during operation.
Washer will not agitate or spin with the lid open.

easy easy you need agitator dogs thats right the official name of the part is agitator dogs! 5 dollar part can chat you through the fix

Aside from complete disassembly & cleaning it, try a hot wash on full with nothing in it except a bunch of bleach.
