This sounds like it might be the motor coupler. They do tend to break now and then. It is a relatively inexpensive fix and can be done in a few minutes. If this helps, please rate my answer. Thank you. If it doesn't help, we'll take it further and try to get you fixed up.

My 21882 top load Kenmore washer will start the cycle but stops after filling up; i can restart the cycle by pushing the knob in and going a little further in the cycle then starting again. But after a...

When the cycle doesn't advance, it's probably the timer or a cold-water supply problem:

  • It's the timer, if your washing machine fills with water and begins agitating, but the timer never advances--or if the washer is in a spin cycle and the timer won't advance. Then you need to replace the timer.


  • It may be a cold-water supply problem, if the washing machine fills with water, agitates, drains, and spins, but then doesn't fill with rinse water. See There's no cold water.

    Kenmore washer (model # 110 24872300) won't agitate.

    Your machine has no belt. It has a direct drive coupling. The direct drive coupling between the motor and transmission must be replaced.

    Washer will fill with water but the agitator won't spin.

    No agitation or spin in any cycle? If so and the machine will drain check the coupler.

    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.
