I don't know how old this thing is...


anyways. the kenmore 110.28812790 won't drain or spin.

It will fill and adgitate.

don't know how to diagnose what the problem is and what needs to be fixed so I'm just starting somewhere. Any suggestions would be helpful.

What I want to do is find out if there is a way I could bypass the dial via the wires in the back to "make it" drain to test that component. And if it did drain to get the old water out.

could anybody help me on what two wires to cross to make it happen or how to read what wire does what?

thanks.

Is It A Belt Drive?

no not a belt drive

check the lid cover to see if the strike is not broken then check the lid switch to see if that,s not broken off the cabinet there will be two screws.

well I got ahold of someone who could read an electrical diagram. After crossing a few wires and testing a few things. Quite easily....

It was determined that the centrifugal switch is bad.

BTW the lid switch is fine.

A way to easily drain the water out of a washing machine.

Get a garden hose stretch it all the way out, make sure it's down hill a little, doesn't have to be much of a slope.

take a gallon jug of water. Hold up the end near the washing machine, pour the water from the gallon jug into the hose as fast as you can. as soon as it's done put the end into the water of the washing machine. It should siphon it all out. Slowly but it will.

Make sure you don't have any clothes in it.
