In Reply to: Kenmore Washing machine Posted by: Les Donovan on February 15, 2000 at 11:19:59:

: I have a Kenmore washing machine that will go through all the cycles until its supposed to drain and spin out. It doesnt Drain or spinout, no movenemt at all. The belt works. I even replaced the push pull thing ( I cant remeber the name of it but, it had 4 wires going to it). This didnt fix the problem.
: What should I do?

Sounds like the problem is in the pump. If the water isn't pump out to a lower level the water level switch won't allow the washer to spin. Uplug the machine & remove the access panel, now manual turn the belt while feeling the pully of the pump to be sure it is turning. Be sure to turn belt both ways. If feel it may still be nessary to remove the pump to check for blockage in the short hose or even in the pump. NOTE :REMEMBER WHERE THE SHIFT ARMS POSTION IS, IF NOT IN THE SAME POSTION WHEN RE-INSTALLED IT WON't SHIFT PROPERLY.

Good Luck

Eric
