Kenmore 80 Series Washing Machine: Help to Remove the Top

Wed, 27 Aug 2025 19:22:57 -0700

I've taken apart plenty of washers but this one is different and incredibly frustrating. I have a Kenmore 80 Series 110.16862502 and I cannot open it up to change the latch switch. Any suggestions? Nothing like it online anywhere. The back is one piece and the side caps are screwed to the control panel from the inside.

Kenmore 80 Series Washing Machine: Kenmore 800 Doesn't complete rinse cycle

Fri, 01 Aug 2025 09:21:28 -0700

I have a Kenmore 800 that won't complete its rinse cycle during a normal wash.

After the initial wash it drains the soapy water it then starts putting fresh water in but then stops before there's enough water to actually do a proper rinse then stops.

If I then manually set it to run a rinse only cycle it completes both the rinse and spin just fine.

Issue happens with both normal and heavy duty cycles.

Kenmore 80 Series Washing Machine: Can't get transmission shaft out to replace the clutch

Mon, 26 May 2025 05:48:53 -0700

I have a kenmore series 80. It doesn't spin well so I think it needs a new clutch. However, the transmission is totally stuck and I can't remove the transmission shaft out of the drum. Is it just rusted solid and beyond repair, or what could i do to fix it? I also can't get the tub nut off, even with the special tub nut wrench.

Kenmore 80 Series Washing Machine: Dripping water into the machine

Fri, 22 Nov 2024 12:10:47 -0700

Hi there, love this machine - it's over 20 years old and strong! It just started dripping water into the machine tub. It's coming from the center where water fills the tub. Is this an easy repair or is it time to replace? I can do very minor repairs, but would most likely have to call in for service. Thanks!

Kenmore 80 Series Washing Machine: Kenmore 80 series washer won’t advance to next stage after wash cycle.

Thu, 02 May 2024 19:51:53 -0700

I have a Kenmore 80 series top load washer that will start the wash cycle but not advance to the next stage. If I physically turn the dial to the next stage it will start the next stage and then I have to turn the dial again to complete the wash. The model number is 110.29852991. I’m pretty handy. Is this something I can fix? 😊

Kenmore 80 Series Washing Machine: motor does not stop to trigger the final spin cycle

Tue, 16 Jan 2024 12:54:55 -0700

Have similar problem. All cycles including spin cycle after wash. Problem happens at the end of the rinse cycle, tube totally drains, but the motor does not stop to trigger the final spin cycle, just continues to pump all the way through spin cycle without a spin. motor stop at the end leave clothes very wet, need to run a second spin....

Now did find out that if I lift the Lid at the beginning of spin cycle (stopping the motor) and close the lid it activates the spin cycle, Wala clothes come out dry... It appears Lid switch is working properly, I have replace the clutch no change, all drain hoses are clear no obstructions. seems have to do with sensing end of rinse/drain to trigger motor to stop the start at begin of spin trigger final spin.

Kenmore 80 Series Washing Machine: Clothes remain wet after cycle

Clothes are still soaking wet after a cycle. It requires an extra spin cycle to have the clothes ready for the dryer.

I noticed water rises to top of drain tube and sets there for awhile, so wonder if there is a clog. I'm gonna try snaking it out.

Snaked for about 160" and encountered no clogs.

Wondering about drain pipe height....manual says 39" FROM FLOOR. Mine is 43" from floor but only 30" to the trap that then does a 90 parallel to floor. Does that matter? Should I extend drain pipe 10"?

Kenmore 80 Series Washing Machine: Washer and dryer will not provide any heat.

Sat, 25 Nov 2023 01:45:46 -0700

I’ve been using my washer and dryer for months now but since the last week-ish both my dryer and washer will either not give any warm water from the washer or give any “hot air”/dry the clothes in the dryer. The dryer could be running and spin for hours but clothes would remain cold and damp even when on the highest temperature setting. The washer also won’t use warm water in the cycle, when put on warm or hot temperature the clothes will still be cold. This seemingly came out of no where as I have not tweaked with the washer and dryer at all. Is it wear and tear? An internal issue? Piping? I don’t know much about washer/dryer machines so any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
