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.

Is an old top-load washer in a Westerly Hills house worth fixing?

Frequently it is. Lid switches, couplers and belts on common top-loaders are inexpensive and quick to replace. If the transmission or tub bearing is failing on a very old machine, we tell you plainly that replacement may be the better use of the money.

Do you work on the stacked washers in west-side apartment complexes?

Yes. We repair stacked and compact laundry in apartment units, either for the property manager or for an owner who rents the unit out. Include the building, unit number and gate code when booking so the technician can reach the door quickly.

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.

Top-Loaders That Fill but Won't Spin

Older top-load washers are everywhere on this side of town, and their most familiar complaint is a machine that fills and agitates but leaves the clothes soaking. Depending on the design, a worn lid switch, a broken drive coupler or a slipping belt is usually responsible. A washer that hums without moving may have a jammed pump or a failing motor part instead. Stacked units in apartments along the Tyvola and Billy Graham Parkway corridor have less room to work in, and a drain hose pushed too far into the standpipe can siphon water out mid-fill, which looks like a fill fault.

What to Try and What We Do

Unplug the washer, then check that the lid strike on a top-loader is intact and the drain hose is not kinked or crushed behind the machine. Do not run it again if water is on the floor. Our technician tests the switch, coupler, pump and motor, explains the cause and gives the price before starting. For duplexes and rentals, we can reach the owner for approval while still at the unit.
