I am trying to repair my Kenmore series 90 washer model 110.26912690 (or maybe 110.26912691)
Following troubleshooting:
lid switch - I shorted it, not the problem
drain pump hose - I lowered the hose, the wate drrained, no obstruction
water pump belt - direct drive, no belt
coin trap - I lowered the hose, the water drained, no obstruction
I removed and examined the pump - not frozen
I hear no noise at all when it should pump.
How do I test the timer switch, I have seen the chart, but I'm looking for instructions

Hi Robi,
Does it do anything or it's completely dead?

Gene. It fills, it agitates. It does not drain or spin. robi

Gene. No. No motor noise, no sound when it should be draining.

Remove the washer cabinet and check all wires connected to the motor.
Unfortunately i could not find any electric schematics for this model. If you do have one and can post it here, it might help.

Gene. RR> Thank you, Gene RR> I will check the wires at the motor Wires looked fine. I checked motor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHtLlqeChww helped very little http://www.applianceaid.com/direct-drive-washer-motor-help.php [URL="http://www.applianceaid.com/direct-drive-washer-motor-help.php"][/URL] did help Start windings (black to yellow) 5 ohms - GOOD High Speed windings (blue to white) 1.6 ohms - GOOD Low Speed windings (white to white/violet) 0.3 ohms - PROBLEM Does that fit the symptom of no drain? Is it worth fixing? robi

What about wht to wht/orn on the motor? (extra low speed)
When agitation stops, does the motor attempt to start in drain mode? Does the timer continue to move?
Assuming the lid switch is good, if the motor doesn't attempt to start for drain, I think you have a bad timer.
The low reading on the low speed winding does indicate a problem however, the motor always starts in high speed regardless if it's agitate, drain, spin, or selected speed via the speed switch. Drain in normally in high speed only anyway.
A clear picture of the wiring diagram and timer chart is needed to help you troubleshoot with multimeter. The different models have variations in the way they are wired.

Has none.

Silence after the click of the timer at the end of the agitation
Eric> Does the timer continue to move?
No. I thought it was waiting for a level switch to say the water is low enough to spin.
Manually advancing the timer does nothing.

Diagram and timer chart are visible there on the machine. I can read wiring diagram but have no understanding of what the timer chart is saying or how to test it.
