If the timer on your Kenmore washer is broken, there are a few things you can try to get the spin cycle to run:
Manually advance the timer: If the timer is stuck or not moving, try manually advancing it to the spin cycle. To do this, locate the timer knob and turn it clockwise until it reaches the spin cycle. Once you have manually advanced the timer to the spin cycle, try running the washer to see if it will spin.
Use a multimeter to test the timer: If the timer is completely broken and not advancing at all, you may need to test it with a multimeter. You can find a multimeter at most hardware or electronics stores. Follow the instructions for using the multimeter to test the timer. If the timer is faulty, you will need to replace it.
Use a jumper wire: If the timer is not advancing or you are unable to replace it right away, you can try using a jumper wire to bypass the timer and run the spin cycle. To do this, unplug the washer and locate the wires that connect to the timer. Look for the wires that correspond to the spin cycle and connect them with a jumper wire. Once you have connected the wires, plug the washer back in and try running the spin cycle.
Note: It's important to exercise caution when working with electrical appliances. If you are unsure of what you're doing, it's best to seek the assistance of a professional or to contact the manufacturer for guidance.
Possible there is problem with the timer controller unit. It seems that the stepper motor is not moving to the next cycle until you manually move it to the spin. You can use some contact cleaners on the switch and also carefully try to see if the timer moves within , replacement is a costly issue and must be debated
So it will spin and drain when put in the spin cycle right? More than likely it is your timer if you have to keep manually setting. I would check on timer prices and go from there.
Sounds like the timer might be defective. Try turning the timer manually to see if it goes into spin cycle. If it does then thats what it is. Hoped this helped if not let us know thankyou!
seems the timer knob is old and need of replacement normally happens due to age as the timer switches inside the timer knob become old and sticky mostly unable to move so the timer isnt able to do much of its job
does it go thru the rinse cycle? does it do this if you wash on any cycle, or just one?
