Here's my story. My Kenmore washer is just over 5 years old and wasn't spinning clothes dry enough - my wife needed to wring clothes out to put in dryer. For quite a while she has had (at times) to start the spin by hand. Yesterday i opened it up to check out the coupling. Coupling seemed to be fine, couldn't see any other problem so I put it back together.

Now it doesn't move through any cycles (e.g. it will fill with water until I manually move it to next cycle), it has little-to-no spin power (when I manually put it on spin and use a screwdriver to bypass the lid switch) and doesn't seem to be agitating at all. It does drain fine.

I am wondering if the timer is the issue with it not moving through cycles, but what's up with the agitator? I pulled the top part of the agitator off, but didn't know how to get the bottom part off and didn't know what I'd be looking for. Can u help?

The model is 110.24832200.

Thanks - that is helpful.

It doesn't seem to be advancing through cycles on its own. Does that sound like the timer? It's strange that that problem started after I worked on it (well, maybe not so strange, considering i am not a handy guy) - it was going through its cycles fine until yesterday. Sound like timer? Any other possibilities.

I think the lid switch is ok since I can get it to spin and drain by using a screwdriver.

Just in case this is helpful to someone else, I checked my connections and found that I had crimped the water level tube when I reassembled the washer. When I fixed that, the washer went through its cycles correctly again. Now my only problem is the spin cycle not fully spinning clothes dry which is probably the clutch.

Thanks again for your help.

Usually if it's a coupling the machine will not agitate either.
