Kenmore stackable washer/dryer doesn't cycle or advance, not spinning? Try THIS !

[@brandireed9106]

Oh my this is exactly what has been happening to me! Mine is flipped from yours but it's also older. I bought my condo in 2004 and the unit was already old. It's been 20 years now and has just started doing this. Thanks so much for posting!!

[@AllOrZer0]

For reference, this seems to apply to the Kenmore, GE, and Frigidaire washers of the same era. Likely the core issue is the control panel that cable is plugged into. Replacement part: WH12X10164

[@JimTMcDaniels1]

These are some of the best ever made! Keep them running, all the parts are available!

Only a few days from Christmas with my washer full. Thank you! Worked great and also see where I need to clean.

[@lindag3736]

Senior with health issues. Bought a Kenmore stackable in April. Finally two different people got it set up. But it won't do much. Only difference I could see was yours has an agitator & mine doesn't. Now it just keeps filling with water & if I forget it floods the utility & kitchen. And I hate not having water levels....problem with not having a lot of trust...lol. I'm going to look into your solution & beg my friend & neighbor to repair. Hope it works! My new dishwasher is still sitting on porch in box & garbage 🗑 disposal is setting next to sink! First electrician & handy man in March took me for $4500 & didn't complete one thing. Now money gone & I'm despairing of ever trusting again & no one wants to do the work. Sorry I rant... But I just want to stay here at home 🏡 & I need repairs done. I subscribed & looking forward to more of your videos. I was like you at a younger age but this older painful body doesn't allow me to do things I want to. GREAT VIDEO & I really like your voice & spirit! Be safe & stay well!

Hi Peggy G Its Oct 19, 2022 & I just sent this to my friend & neighbor Im begging him to try this on mine! Mine is a 2006 without agitator & my buttons just push in....no pull! Paid $800 for it in March & have fussed with it since April. No money to buy another one so im praying youve given me the answer! 74 years old & many health issues...trying to get house better for this old body. As of today dishwasher is installed, large bathroom has shower walls up & the Johnson brothers are under house making sure sewage is doing right! Y'all pray for me. Got taken in March & nothing accomplished But the Johnson brothers are being amazing! Going to widen door in bedroom & washer/dryer are going into that bathroom Thanks for your KZbin!

Unplug the wire block, spray some CRC QD electronic parts cleaner (under $5) on the contacts and try it again.

I have a 32 year old direct drive in the basement. It has been repaired one time. They run forever. I bought a 2017 speed queen top loader and matching dryer. They’re waiting on a basement remodel. The lady kenmore won’t even give me a reason to put her on the curb. I’m going to put both the washer and dryer in the speed queen boxes and set them in the garage. When I build a new house, I’ll find a spot for them. The dayum things aren’t even rusty. I gave such great pride

[@danherrmann8755]

Great job. Kill all power. Pull the plug that you tapped on... get some no lox from a Electritian and an acid brush. Paint the pins with no lox to coat pin. The corrosion from warm water and bleach is enough to pit the pins and not conduct electric... if every electrical connection was soldered and sealed. The corrosion would not cause this problem when unit ages. The newer stackable washer and dryers are junk because the micro processor is located above to wash tub and is not built for a humid corrosive environment. All these units should be recalled because of design flaw. Many wires are black on the inside of the insulation from acid corrosion. If used in Florida along the coast the salty air is twice as bad on units. 4 years life instead of 20 years life. Thanks for the tip. Need to scrap the micro processor and go back to 120 controls with GFIC receptical on washer. Coal all connection to keep corrosion away. Later

You're my hero, and I'm an idiot for forgetting the old "tap it with a hammer" trick. Also, take a look on the timer, it'll have it's build date on the tag. Mine is 1999, on a washer that is '06 vintage.

[@BraddaJay]

Great video! Loved the way you used the jug of detergent to prop up the inner instrument panel! Way to improvise. You’re too cute! I am the master of “garage yoga”. Wife and kids always get a laugh out of watching Dad precariously propping up something sharp and heavy while transitioning from warrior pose, to downward dog, to table pose…scanning and grabbing for, literally, Anything. lol! The best part is when the laughter reaches exit velocity and they’ve successfully convinced me of the ridiculousness of my predicament. To see the sheer joy they get as they roll in the ground, laughing, slapping their knees in desperation for the inhale was well worth all the ensuing boo-boos I’ve sustained over the years (except for maybe the time I was on a ladder holding up a full sheet of drywall and maneuvering to reach my impact gun and screws that I casually left on a second ladder, 3 feet away..Yup, Ouch..) Anyway, great video! I’d like to hear the story of how you came to find the short term fix. Did you get it properly fixed before you switched to a new unit?

[@peggyzum]

Haha - Garaga yoga! My ex is pretty handy, and as I mentioned in description, after the video, we learned it was the timer. So yes, we ordered/replaced the timer. Thanks!

[@raymondrivera617]

Oh my God, that's exactly my problem with my Kenmore Stack Washer/Dryer, the midsize one. It did fill but the cycle stopped. Also it's 10 years old. The dryer works fine but the washer won't cycle. I'm going to try this in the morning and if it works, I'm going to cancel my repair service which will be not until the 23rd of this month. That would save me a lot of money. Thank you so very much.

[@peggyzum]

Yay! ...And BTW, it wasn't the black "electrical plug", it was the points on the timer that it was being plugged into. Get your serial number and google Kenmore timer and you can order a replacement timer. Even if you have someone come out, you've still saved a bunch! Good luck Raymond!

[@mattkonetski9818]

You may never see this but...Check the cold water inlet filter. Mine was clogged and would shut it down mid spin cycle. Not enough water to balance the load.

Does it still cycle through? Mine is the same, it will agitate(wash) but the dial will not move past the wash part, it will not go to the rinse or spin part of the cycle?

[@peggyzum]

Hi Emily. As I mentioned in the description, we learned after the video, that it was the timer. So we ordered a new one. So if you can expose the panel, and get the timer, maybe have a friend install it, unless you're handy yourself! (I'm too chicken - had a friend install the new timer) good luck!
