Kenmore 110 Series Washing Machine: Why won't my washer spin or drain?

Thu, 11 Sep 2025 06:20:30 -0700

It will fill with water but won't spin or drain on its own. I can drain it if I put the hose on the ground, but not if it's in its usual spot.

Kenmore 110 Series Washing Machine: Hardly turns during the wash cycle but spins and drains

Sat, 03 Aug 2024 22:29:50 -0700

I have a Kenmore HE top loader washer that I bought new in 2012. Model 110.26002012

I have noticed that my cloths are not getting clean and they smell even after washing. I wanted to see what was actually happening during a "normal" cycle so I unscrewed the lid lock and placed it in the lock slot with the lid left open.

I used the recommended amount of HE detergent and did not overload the washer.

The wash filled with a normal amount of water. Enough to saturate my cloths but not cover them completely. From my research, this is appears to be normal for HE washers.

The washer then moves into the "wash" mode. This is where I think I am having a problem. The bucket moves but only slightly. It's not actually agitating the cloths or moving them in anyway. It's moving so little that it's not even creating suds with the soap. At this point my cloths are pretty much soaking in somewhat soapy water.

After the "wash" mode is complete it moves onto the rise, drain and spin cycles. These all work great. It spins very fast and drains so much water out that my cloths that they take no time to dry once moved to the dryer.

The wash driver belt and washer actuator are brand new.

Any thoughts or suggestions on what would cause my washer to not agitate correctly but spin/drain successfully?

Kenmore 110 Series Washing Machine: Why does my washing machine pour water during the spin cycle?

Fri, 01 Mar 2024 23:33:05 -0700

My washing machine has an issue where it pours water during the spin cycle, while it is draining. Basically, it pours water from the top while draining it out from the bottom. It drains the water faster than it can pour it, so it does not actually fill with water, but it does re-wet the clothes, so the clothes are dripping wet when the cycle is complete.

It also agitates while filling with water. This is not much of a problem, but it started happening the same time that the other issue above started happening.

Model: Kenmore Elite 26964503

This is what the washing machine is supposed to do:

Wash Cycle
1. Fill with water.
2. When full, begin agitating.
3. After a while, drain water.
Rinse Cycle
1. Fill with water.
2. When full, begin agitating.
3. After a while, drain water.
Spin Cycle
1. Spin while draining water.
2. When empty, continue spinning and draining.
3. After a while, stop.

This is what the washing machine actually does (the bold text marks the differences):

Wash Cycle
1. Fill with water while agitating.
2. When full, continue agitating.
3. After a while, drain water.
Rinse Cycle
1. Fill with water while agitating.
2. When full, continue agitating.
3. After a while, drain water.
Spin Cycle
1. Spin while draining water.
2. When empty, continue spinning and draining but also begin pouring water from top.
3. After a while, stop.

Summary

The main problem is 3-2: in the spin cycle, the machine begins to pour water after it has drained all of the water. It is not supposed to be pouring water at this point; it defeats the purpose of the spin cycle.

What could this be? What would cause it to pour water during the spin cycle?

Kenmore 110 Series Washing Machine: "Ratcheting" noise in wash cycle only

Mon, 17 Nov 2025 17:31:50 -0700

During the wash cycle the machine makes a LOUD ratcheting sound. This is the only time it makes the sound and is not affected by different washing selections. The sound started as brief noise and has grown to a full time noise.

Any ideas?

Kenmore 110 Series Washing Machine: Washer makes very loud noise during spin cycle

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 14:20:52 -0700

My washer makes a very loud noise during the spin cycle (it does not make the load noise during any other cycles). The load is balanced and the drum is not wobbling side to side.

I have the same problem, it’s the drum bearings and seal. The seal leaks and water gets in the bearings and destroys them, hold the outer drum then try to move the inner drum, if it moves at all it’s gone!!

I'm going to pull mine apart and goto an auto parts place to match them! If that doesn't work will try to find them by the old part number on each one, I have two bearings and one seal. Good luck!

Washing machine will not turn on, no selections will work. GFCI power outlet was tripped, I reset the outlet and it does have power. Tried different outlet, same result.

Is there a reset button in washer or any fuses. Made sure lid was fully closed.

Our washer makes a loud noise during the spin cycle and does not seem to spin as much water out of our clothes as it use to. Clothes are heavy and wet. I have to wash very small loads and spin several times. Model number for our washer is 22442100.
