Kenmore 70 series washer will not spin or agitate
Model Number: 110.20722990 Brand: Kenmore Age: More than 10 years
I have a Kenmore 70 series washer, model 110.20722990. I replaced the motor coupling about 6 months ago and washer worked great until recently. The washer will fill with water but the agitator will not spin at all. It used to freely spin by hand counter-clockwise but now it seems completely seized up. It will fill and drain, but no agitation or spinning at all.
Is this likely a transmission or clutch issue? Ads By Google Related Models

Hi.
Does the motor run when it should agitate and spin? Simon.

Hi.
Yes it's normal. Check the coupling again. Simon.

In taking the new motor coupling off, it appears as though the metal inner piece has broken loose from the plastic.Once that is off, I still cannot manually rotate the agitator blades in any direction. If the clutch or transmission froze up, could this piece have broken loose from that?

Grab the small shaft with a pair of pliers (where the coupling goes) and see if you can turn it without effort.
Jammed transmission should be replaced. Simon.

Talked to a washer repairman today, he said a simple test of the transmission is to spin the coupler clockwise, the spindle should rotate back and forth as if agitating. If you spin the coupler counter-clockwise, the spindle should not move at all as that is the spin for the spin-cycle. Has anyone else heard of this?
I can spin the coupler by hand either direction, and the spindle alternates spins both ways.
