My Kenmore washer fills but won't spin. What is wrong?

On Whirlpool-built top-loaders, a failed lid switch or worn drive coupler is a common cause. On front-loaders, a door lock or drain pump issue may stop the spin. Knowing the model prefix helps narrow it down.

My washer in a Windsor Park ranch may be leaking under the floor. What should I do?

Close the washer's supply valves, unplug it and avoid running it until it is checked. We can find whether the washer, a hose or the drain is leaking. If the water came from a supply pipe or the crawl space plumbing itself, that is plumber's work, and we will tell you so.

Our East Charlotte washer bangs during spin with big loads. Is that a repair?

First try a smaller, evenly spread load and make sure the washer is level on its feet. If it still bangs, worn suspension rods, shocks or springs are likely, and those are common repairs on heavily used machines. Bearings are a bigger job that we would price separately.

Kenmore Washers: What We Check First

Kenmore washers came from Whirlpool, LG and Frigidaire. The model prefix 110 usually means a Whirlpool-built top-load or front-load washer, 796 points to LG, and 417 to Frigidaire front-loaders. Top-load Kenmore washers from Whirlpool are especially common in older homes, and many are still running. Front-load Kenmore Elite washers were often LG-built. Laundry pairs from Sears were often sold as matched sets, so the dryer beside the washer may share the same maker and the same model prefix.

Lid switch failure on Whirlpool-built top-loaders stopping spin
Drive coupler worn on older direct-drive Kenmore top-loaders
Drain pump clogged on LG-built front-load Kenmore Elite washers
Front-load door boot mildew and bearing noise as machines age

The full explanation, including what you can safely check yourself and when repair beats replacement, is in our Kenmore washer repair guide.

Heavy Loads and Hidden Leaks

A washer that handles laundry for a large household wears in predictable ways. Drain pumps catch socks, coins and hair ties; lid switches and door locks fail from constant cycling; and machines that are routinely overloaded wear out their suspension springs, shock absorbers and tub bearings. Splitting large loads is the simplest way to stretch the machine's life.

Many East Charlotte ranch homes sit on crawl spaces, and the washer's supply hoses and drain often pass through the floor. A slow leak there can run for weeks before you notice a musty smell or a soft spot near the laundry closet.

What to Do First and What the Repair Involves

If you see water or smell dampness near the washer, close both supply valves and unplug the machine before running another load. On a front-loader, the pump filter behind the lower panel is worth checking with towels ready. Our technician tests the pump, switch or lock and the suspension, looks for the source of any leak and gives the price before working. Rubber inlet hoses are worth upgrading to braided ones.
