If you run it with the agitator out, do you see the center post of the drive shaft moving? it may be the transmission… what is your washer’s model number?

Hello, I have a problem with my washer..what happens is it spins in both directions and it also brakes just fine…the only problem is that it won’t agitate. I took apart the agitator and looked at the drive shaft and the cog and BOTH are steel and there is no wear in the teeth. I didn’t get underneath that because I don’t have a big enough wrench..anyways I am wondering if it is not a mechanical issue but an electric one..cause like I said it spins both directions and brakes without issue

Hard to say for sure with kenmore… What is your washer’s model number? If the washer is this whirlpool type then you may also want to look at the tub hub… It definitely could be the transmission. If the clutch bell is spinning under the washer when it should be spinning then your transmission is okay. It would be a problem between the clutch and the break/ drive tube or the tub’s connection to the upper dive tube with the drive hub. Hope that helps some! Good luck!

Thank you for the video. My kenmore washer will not spin. It will adjatate. I did test the lid switch and it is working. I did buy and install the clutch kit but it still will not spin. Is it time for a new tranny?

One side thought… the timer will still make a noise even when nothing else is being energized. you may also have a bad lid switch. If the buzzing/ humming noise is coming from down inside the washer it would probably be the motor or something in the pump, but if the buzzing is coming from the timer, check the lid switch.. Hope that helps!

I think you are on the right track. There may be a sock or something stuck in the drain pump. Does it still agitate?
February 12th, 2013 at 5:57 pm
Because I am thinking that if it was the clutch or Trany that it should atleast still drain. Do you think it is the pump?

Hey AAssist, can you give me some suggestions have whirlpool Ucare ll Top loader. It has a wheel timer it makes a buzzing noise and doesn’t drain the water. What could that be?

My Maytag Performa washer squeaks extremely loud when cycle comes to a stop. I’m guessing bad/dirty brake drum? I would appreciate any advice, great videos by the way very useful thanks

Hi I have a Maytag Washer MAV2757AWW I am having problems with it not spinning out the water. It spins some but not really fast to get out all of the water. I kept the lid open and it seems to be like it is agitating and spinning at the same time but slowly. It also sometimes makes a very loud noise something like a jet plane taking off when it is washing. I just can not afford a new washer right now but don’t want to put a lot of money in this one it has not worked right since I purchased it.

Thank you so much, yes hard lessons usually stick for life
February 12th, 2013 at 8:05 pm
Opening the transmission is not recommended… as you now know : ( There is no good way to get the oil back into the gear case and get it sealed up again. You may be able to find a new gasket and oil online but it is fairly rare that the gear case is repaired, it’s usually replacement only. Knowledge is expensive sometimes, but hard lessons usually stick with you for life. However, I have no doubt you can figure something out. Good luck!

Not that I am aware of… If this looks like a GE washer that you have seen I would love to know the model number. Thanks for the comment!
February 12th, 2013 at 8:16 pm
I must admit that I have learned something here today. I do, however, got a question for you. I, while opening the transmission boy, leaked oil ( i think most of it). Now, I don’t know how to add more to it. Is there any way to do that without opening the transmission boy again. If not, how do I do it by opening the transmission box. Where exactly the oil goes to?
Thank you

what causes the washer to adjutate and drain but when it starts to spin it jerks like its binding but its slowly turnning
February 12th, 2013 at 8:58 pm
The clutch would usually slip if it was going bad but it should still engage somewhat… have you looked at the break arm? it should catch on the inner band of the clutch pad, next to the tension spring to release for spinning. The outer bell of the clutch drives directly off the transmission, so you may have a transmission problem : (

I did take it apart and turning by hand from the motor coupling, if I turn it to the left the agitator cycle work okay if I turn to the right it does spin, I put the drive tube in the transmission and the clutch not engage, I just did what you did at 5:10…. I just want to make sure it is the clutch bad?
February 12th, 2013 at 10:15 pm
It could be the clutch.. but usually that will start with clothes that are just more wet than normal, and get progressively worse. If it sounds normal but is not spinning at all the motor coupling is the more likely cause. There may also be a fast clicking sound when it is trying to spin. Sometimes the agitation will work because it puts less strain on the coupling than the spin function does. Take a look at the motor/ coupling video and see if that gives you any ideas. Good luck!
