Question about Kenmore 22642 Top Load Washer
An expert who has achieved level 3 by getting 1000 points
If your washer is not spinning fast enough, or barely spinning at all, this is usually a symptom of any one or all of the following: 1. Bad gearcase (transmission). 2. Bad basket drive, with which the transmission couples to under the agitator. 3. Bad clutch/brake assembly. Which mounts on top of the gearcase under the basket drive. Usually a tell tale sign of a gearcase beginning to fail is the sign of an amber colored oil coated under the washer or inside the casing. I said, "usually". It doesn't always happen, but if you notice any signs of oil, the gearcase is shot. The basket drive and clutch assemblies are harder to diagnose and require some disassembly of the washer and the removal of the gearcase to inspect. Let me know if this helps.

If you're going to rate my advice as "Not Helpful", it would be nice to know what you have done so far, so that I may try to assist you better. I work on these machines all the time, and have repaired many different problems with them. The advice I gave you is a "best guess solution" based on the symptoms you gave. It's often hard to determine a cause without being there, and not knowing more than the initial symptoms. Let me know if I can still help.

washer not spinning fast enough.
clothes are still wet when finished spinning.
I have the same problem.. My machine spins but not fast enough to dry clothes. I did notice that there is oil splattered below the tub and gearcase and was not sure were it was coming from?
i'd have almost the same problem it whines through all the cycles and i'd can't figure out what wtong with it if any od you can tell what it is i'd appreciate it it get louder during the spin cycle
I have the same problem but it seems to be intermitent. Should I suspect the same as listed above?
washing machine isn't spinning enough water out so it takes 2-3 times as long to dry clothes
We using nord language on washing mashine so it's difficult to understand. On the screen we're seeing "pump ..." Maybe wring is blocked?
