Kenmore catalyst elite washer fills but does not

REPLACE THE DOOR SWITCH . IF THAT DOES NOT WORK REPLACE OR CLEAN THE DRAIN PUMP..

Sounds like the coupling between the motor and the transmissionis broken or stripped.

sounds like a bad moter,

OL error means the Motor Controller has sensed an Overload.

The oL code means the motor control board is struggling to power the motor up. If it recurs after removing some clothes - usually this means a new motor control.... or worse - a new bearing.

If it were a problem with the tub floating up, the unit would spin instead of nutate.

Bearing failure in this machine is very common.

I suspect the drive shaft and bearing are the problem. The bearing and shaft are part of the outer tub.

The new outer tub with bearing W10128830 cost approximately $197 dollars.

If you can get access to the shaft it may be an Emory cloth will help smooth things down so that you no longer get the OL code.

This is an ambitious do-it-yourself project... as most appliance repairmen don't understand how this machine operates.

I have a kenmore elite washer. whwn on spin cycle it does not spin and als o will no agitate. There is a loud noise wen on spin cycle. Please help

it seems to me ur washer transmission is going out or already there

My Kenmore 98702 washer Fills and agitates as expected but stops at the end of cycle failing to drain or spin

If your washer fills, agitates, drains, but will not spin, the likely cause is the gear case (transmission). A new gear case can run about $200 just for the part. With labor, this could be a bit expensive to repair. I hope this helps you some.
