My Kenmore 90 series washer fills, but won’t agitate or drain. There is a hum for a short time then all is quiet. I took it apart and the coupler looks fine. All the parts seem to spin freely execpt for the water pump is stff.
Separate the motor from the machine but leave it connected to the wire harness. Protect from any wire-to-metal contace and jump the lid switch. See if the motor will run without a load attached. If it does, attach the pump to it and try it again. if it runs, there’s something wrong in the gearcase. Post your results.
Thanks for the advise. I disconnected the motor and it still humed. I had to reset it by plugging it in then opening and closing the lid 6 times in 12 seconds. Then it started spinning again. When all checking was done it turned out to be a small sock in the pump. I purchaced a new pump and all is working well. Thank you.
