My life got a whole lot simpler after I just started replacing the timer ever time my DW's kenmore washer or dryer went south. Appliance wiring schematics suck and 2 or 7 beers don't make them any better. So far, it has worked 100% on the washers and about 80% on the dryers. Your results may vary. :dunno:

Worst case is the timer don't fix it, then you can carry it to some alkihaulic applance repair man who can fix it and you then have a working washer and a back up timer for when the ****er does burn up.

Again its the motor. Scrap it or ya can piss money away on a timer and still have a blown motor :****:

98TJ · Feb 28, 2013

The timer is a whole lot easier to change out than the motor. Its so easy, even my Damn Wife could change it.......... I meant Darlin' Wife. :spin:

It's not that hard to change the motor. It's out but still attached to the gearbox in this pic, but only takes a few bolts to unmount it. I could have the motor completely out in 15 minutes or less

I read this whole thread thinking it might have some tech I can use and it did not. I am sending the video to my brother who is an appliance repairman to see if he can diagnose your issues. GLWW.

****, you took half the funkin' machine apart to get that motor out. ;D

Kenmore Whirlpool top load washing machine/washer won't agitate or spin,just hums

Have you taken the back of the top of the washer off and looked in there? Many time you can see something ****ed up; like a terminal burnt off or something. You can also look and see if the motor on the timer is running. Sometimes, the timer motor can take a **** and sometimes the little brass gear on the timer motor can strip out.

If you can't fix this son of a bitch, go work on your ice maker. Its almost always either the timer or the tray heating element and it's eye level and easier to work on.

Had to tak the whole motor/gearbox assembly out as 1 peice to change the clutch band, can't take that out without disassembling the agitator lol. I reckon I'm just gonna carry it to the appliance store, pay him $10, and just hear what he has to say and go from there. Worth $10 to hear what he has to say before I say to hell with it and buy a new one.

Usually I'm not that patient and that's what I do, but my parents only live 5 minutes from me and I usually drop by there on Sunday evenings for a little bit anyway so I just carry my laundry with me, wash it, bring it home, and dry it while I watch new episode of The Walking Dead lol. I usually only have 1 load a week to wash, maybe two if I go wheeling one weekend. So it ain't bothering me at all to take my time and try to fix it for half of what I would give for a new one. molaugh

Ain't had time to get it loaded up and drop it off lol. I live by myself and work 2nd shift, which means most everyone I know are at work or not around during the day to help me load it up and bring it down there molaugh

Still washing clothes at the 'rent's house for now so I ain't in much of a hurry anyways
