Replaced the clutch and motor coupler a month ago. Ran great. Washed tennis shoes. Came in to remove clothes, didn't spin. Wont agitate or spin, i could hear the motor running. Just replaced the motor coupling, it was broke. Now it seems its frozen. Motor humming. Won't agitate or spin, fills up fine = wont drain. Timer is clicking and there is power drain, dimming the lights in the room.

was the coupler replaced correctly? I have replaced it incorrectly myself b4.so it can happen. might want to check ur counter weights too, check ur clutch for slipping .for safe measure check door switch

Madam, motor runs but makes noise won't agitate and spin possible cause is broken coupler

Have you checked for any damage on the lid switch at all? Washers won't engage the cycle you're having issues with if the lid switch is faulty. usually a magnet or plastic piece that pushes down the piece to engage agitation.

kenmore washers have a rod that when the machine goes int spin will drop the rod so the drum clutch can start to spin if the clutch ring is good then your rod is stiff or stuck if the rod drops the clutch ring is bad goodluck

HI. This is a drive assembly issue. The actual motor coupler and clutch are damaged at this point. These vital components should be replaced asap.

Hello Friend, Your solution is very simple. You need to replace the clutch assymbly. It's easy to replace the clutch assymbly on your machine. First, pop the cover off the top of your agitator and remove the bolt that holds it in place. Gently pull the agitator up and out of the machine. Now, remove the two screws that hold control panel in place and tilt back exposing the two metal clips that hold the cabinet in place. You will see some wires plugged into the cabinet, just unplug them. There are two clips, one on each side. Just pop these clips off and lift cabinet slightly from back and tilt forward. At this point you will be able to completely remove the cabinet. Once you have cabinet removed just set it aside. Now, just lay the washer on it's back. At this point you will see the water pump, motor, and transmission. Remove the pump by snapping off the two spring clips. The pump will slide right off the motor shaft. Now, remove the two screws that hold the two spring clips attached to motor. Unplug all the wires etc. and then snap the metal clips off motor. Lift motor straight up, it should slide right off. Now you will see three bolts holding the transmission in place, just remove these three bolts. Now, gently pull the transmission out of the washer and sit it in an upright possition. At this point you will see the clutch assymbly on the top of the transmission with the agitator shaft going through it. There is a spring clip holding the clutch in place be sure to wear eye protection. Just pop this spring out and remove the entire clutch and replace with new clutch assymbly. Re-assymble the washer and the problem you are encountering should be solved. Happy to help, Tim.

if your sure it will agitate?[because the pump is on the other side of the motor and will drain,but if coupler broken ,wont agitate or spin although it makes noise like its working.so if will truely agitate drive coupler fine and its going to be the clutch or that area unless somthing[clothing] is between the two tubs creating anough resistance to stop the tub from taking off.clutch pads will just slip on drive plate.hope that helps>God bless ,tom

* Test the lid switch

* Inspect the drive belt (belt drive only)
* Inspect under the washer for soot (clutch)
* Test the motor

if your coupler is good change your agitator dogs that will fix slow wash and clutch on top of transmission or lid switch for no spin

if it wont drain , check your lid switch, check out your motor coupler, if it will not agitate and spin, replace your motor coupler, if it agitates and dont spin, replace your lid switch.

alot of times the washer will drain but we hurriedly cut it off when we hear noise or the water is out but it never spinned and so the clothes are soapy wet...
