Kenmore 90 series washing machine wont go into rinse cycle.

the clutch should be checked for wear by spraying water from water bottle on it when you run the spin load and it should not show any steam or sizziling, you can also remove the clutch and try to hand spin the inside while holding the body it should not be able to spin easily, should be difficult to move. should be a tight fit, im sending more pics but fixya giving me problem s sending them, also check the motor coupler for damage or broken pieces on floor.

also test the door switch by jumpering it,

Hi,

please rotate your cycle dial in the opposite direction of its usual motion by 90 degrees (probably counter clockwise). Then you can run the cycle again and the drain/spin/rinse should work. Otherwise, please power cycle your washing machine.

Thank you.

The lid switch controls the rinse and spin cycles.
If the lid switch is bad the cycle fails to advance.
Replace your lid switch.

First, see the Sears Parts site for your washer:

Next, see the Whirlpool / Kenmore Service manual for top load, direct drive washers:

I hate to say it but it sounds like a Timer problem.

I'd use the troubleshooting section of the Service Manual and the timer testing procedures to confirm the problem.

Note that there are two types of timers with different procedures to remove them.

Also see the following for how to release the console for access to the timer and other controls.

replace timer...thumbs up...stay calm 8-d

Yes, most likely but to be sure you can check voltage at the timer assembly 2 small black wires coming out of the timer.....

Sounds like the timer has failed. It's a common problem.

Part number 8545379, $83.69 from SearsPartsDirect.com

most common solution is to replace the lid switch. (the machine thinks the lid is still open)

check for cold water,,good check for lid switch

Sounds like you have a broken lid switch, most likely part # 3949247,,#11 on diagram. Dave www.washermd.com
