[QUOTE="TacomaJD, post: 286189, member: 1780"] My washing machine has been fawked up for going on a month now, so I've been doing laundry at the parent's house in the meantime. I am deadset and detirmined to fix this thing myself and am curious if any of you could shed any light on what may be the problem, as I'm sure there's plenty of you out there that have had various washing machine issues at home and fixed them yourself. It makes no sense to me to buy a new one if this one can be fixed for 1/4 or less of the price. It's a Kenmore 80 series super capacity. First off I done some Youtube searching and found that the transmission coupler goes bad alot in these Kenmore washers and is only $16 to replace. Tore it apart, transmission coupler is fine, so I put it back together. Next, I also found that the clutch band could be the problem, so I tore it down, bought a new clutch band kit for $30, replaced that, put it back together, still the same problem. There are no belts or anything as this is a direct drive washer. I put two dirty bath towels in it (light load) after replacing the clutch band, started it, and it went through all cycles fine, but with a normal load in it, it stops and does this when it's supposed to spin. It agitates fine and I've had all the agitator parts out of it and they all seem fine as well. My only other guesses is something to do with the motor about to burn up maybe? Or something in the switch itself? And while it's making this noise, keep in mind as far as I can tell nothing in the washer is turning or trying to spin. The more I mess with it turning it on and off while it's making this noise trying to get it to spin, the noise gets weaker. I made this video after the washer had set for at least 2 hours after first stopping on spin cycle and stalling out...so the noise sounds stronger (another reason I'm thinking it has to do with the motor.) That click you hear toward the end of the video is the automatic safety cutoff, have to wait awhile for it to reset after it does that before it will do anything else. What do yall think????
