Default Kenmore Washer Wont Spin
Model Number: 110.92380200   Brand: Kenmore   Age: 5 - 10 years   

I have a kenmore washer ( not sure how old) but it no longer spins. I was told I needed a coupling, which I bought. However, I cannot figure out how to install it. I tipped the machine on its side to access the bottom. The coupling is wedged between, what I think is the motor and a metal covering, which may be the transmission. I am not sure how to remove the motor ( there doesnt seem to be any bolts). Do I have to remove the metal piece? I am a single mom and cannot afford to pay a repairman, so I am determined to do this myself. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Before we proceed with the coupling replacement I need you to answer on these questions:

Did it agitate?

Did it drain?

You probably have a bad clutch. Will need to pull tranny to change.

Default Kenmore Washing machine will not spin

My first problem began when my motor coupler broke and I received a replacement (newly designed with metal inserts on each side of the plastic pieces of the coupler). I replaced the couple and did a test run with no clothes and all the cycles completed successfully. I then put just a few clothes into the drum and tried this again......no go. The machine will agitate fine but when it begins the spin cycle, I can hear the relay clicking trying to engage the motor to spin the tub over and over again quickly then just stops. The tub does begin to spin for about 3 seconds then just stops.

I read through some of your other forums and I unfortunately did pick the transmission up the shaft a couple times. I can spin the coupler and see the motor and transmission shaft turn. Should I focus on the tub now?
Any suggestions?

Thanks
Todd-

Hi Todd,

What is the complete model number of the washer?

Gene.

Hey Gene, I don't have the exact data that you are asking for. All I know is that its a Kenmore 90 series Super Capacity Plus with the Quiet Pack III and it was bought new in 1998 from Sears. I just pulled the control pannel and see that the manufacturer left the wire diagram but it doesn't come out and say any particular model number...all I see on wire diagram is part no: 3953250

Not sure if this helps.

Todd-

Hi Todd,

Usually the name plate with model number is under the lid.

Gene,

I was eager to tear into the washer again to find out what could be causing the problem so I basically stripped the washer down to just the tub and the support frame. I was careful to note where everything goes so going back together will not be an issue. However, I took a closer look and the transmission and the splined shaft and noticed that when I stick the shaft directly upward there is play left and right and I fairly certain there shouldn't be any. Would you agree? Also, with all the components removed, it still feels like the tub is not easy to spin. I guess I'll need to go test out how easy it is to spin a new unit from the store. Any suggestions would be helpful. Please respond.
Thanks
Todd-
