Most motors are simple enough to change as the wires are generally all captured in a connector of some type. The model number you provided is not in a normal Kenmore format, so I cannot speak to your specific washer, but as long as you can get to it, the replacement shouldn't be to difficult. BTW, after several techs looking at the washer and not repairing it, how did you arrive at it needing a motor?

Water not draining can have several causes depending on the make and model. Because I don't have that information, I will be rather generic in thinking you might have a lid switch failure. If the switch isn't closed the machine will not begin a spin or drain cycle. If I had the make and model, I could be a bit more specific in my suggestions.

Hey Andre,

Looks like your model is 110.98573120 make by Whirlpool. You said the machine wasn't draining, so if you set it for a spin cycle, what does it do? If it just sits there, then I am back to the lid switch as that will prevent any operation during the spin cycle. Does it fill and agitate when a cycle is started? Let us know what you are finding.

Sounds like two problems. First, if the motor does nothing, no sound nothing when set for spin, I still would say check your lid switch. If you start a cycle and the water just keeps running no matter the position of the water level switch, either the switch is bad, or the clear hose that runs from the pressure switch to the bottom of the tub became dislodged when you changed the motor. Verify the tube is connected and check the lid switch operation with a meter. Also, after re-reading your original post, if might be a good time to recap what the original failure was since your posting was asking how difficult it is to replace a motor after having service techs work on your washer. It seems each post is not leading to a solution, but rather a different failure and I am not sure what the original failure was.

Knowing what is wrong would go a long way toward solving the problem. Otherwise, you may end up spending money on part due to advice based on inaccurate information. As a technician, I like to deal in facts so knowing what the concern is allows me to ask better questions which eventually leads me to the possible problem. Without being able to trouble shoot the machine myself, I must rely on your input and use your senses for what it is doing.

As for the parts I suggested checking, they are not difficult to replace and as for cost, I would rarely use the term cheap when describing appliance parts, but by comparison, they are less expensive than a new machine. But we need to know what started the problem and what the problem is, or throwing parts at it will only get more expensive.
