Kenmore 600 3.5 cu. ft. Top Load 110-2962 Washer - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

SUSPECT THE LID SWITCH HAS FAILED

How do I make the waher Kenmore drop the fabric softener

you mean the water pressure switch? you will have to remove the panel then the switch will pop out onnce u remove the hose, and push in the tab and turn slightly to release it. see pics

sounds like a program prob not familiar with this mech but it seems suspect

usually to do with the water pump packing in or the outlet tube from the pump being clogged up with coins ,wires from bra straps etc...

blockage in the hoses but I suspect the pump may have an obstruction or has gone bad?

sounds like the bearings are gone

Lid must be closed for spin to start. If the lid is closed and still no spin, the sensor (switch) for the lid may be bad. If you can locate it and manually trip the sensor, you may find it out of adjustment. Yours may be on the rear-left of the top of washer. Replacing the sensor isn't too difficult or costly...but, always-always unplug the power before you work on it. If you have determined that it is not the sensor, give the timer a little click forward. If that works...the timer may be going bad (not advancing). Does the spin work in other wash cycles? If so, it might be bad timer.

don't know of any reset on this washer.need more info.

What is the complete model number of your unit?

You have a bad lid switch. Replace it with this part and you will be good to go!

It is possible that the machine does not start off the cycle because there are errors due to feedback from the inputs. For the program to start up the main program controller must initiate the INLET/MOTOR/DRAIN pump/ valve to open up and allow each function to be driven starting from the flow of water into the drum as also the drain valve to open to exit the water at the point of the program cycle. If this does not happen then the voltage at the valve/motor/pump must be checked or the fault relates to no voltage from the controller. This means the controller is a suspect.

If the water flows then the flow should be good, if not the inlet valve is bad or there is dirt in the filter. Also check the flow at the inlet of the water line. Once the water comes into the system the WATER LEVEL SENSOR - normally a pressure switch- must activate at the preset/chosen level to give the signal to the program controller to switch on the motor. What is most important for the motor to start functioning is that the door switch must be ON when the door is shut or this will be an error for starting the motor for rinse and wash.

Check this link to replace the inlet valve:

Finally after the wash the drain valve will be activated, the water is allowed to come in to rinse and then finally the dry spin with the drain valve/pump activated so as to drain off all the water from the clothes during the spin.

Make sure that a fault in any of the cycle will relate to the specified action, so check the command from the program module and then the executing device be it the valve or motor or pump.

Hello there and welcome to fixya
If your washer doesn't seem to work at all, check these:
No power Check to see whether power is getting to the washing machine. Is it plugged in? Has a fuse blown or is a circuit breaker tripped? try to unplug for 15 min then reset the home breakeer than plug in the machine again and try Lid switch If the lid switch is defective, your washer can't spin and may not function at all. The switch is inside the washing machine main housing near the door frame. Often you have to raise or open the top or front of the washer to get to the switch. If it's defective, you need to replace it. To determine if the lid switch has failed, watch the part testing video . at repair clinic.com Some machines have a special lid-switch fuse near the lid switch, inside the control panel. If this fuse blows, the unit won't fill with water until you replace the fuse. or it will fill but will stop after that

Hi,

If it is only leaking when you use warm water it is likely a leak from the delivery side of the hot water inlet solenoid. The only way to check is to remove the top and look. https://www.google.com/search?q=Kenmore+80+series+washer+92281100+leaks ..

Question edited for clarity. 'then', a moment in time. 'than', a comparison between one thing and another. It depends on the model, but usually related to the lid lock. Also check the breaker. Why does my washer stop working after filling with water? If the Top Load Washer stops after filling with water, be sure to check the house circuit breaker/fuse as well as the outlet and plug. Washers should be plugged into their own separate, dedicated outlet. ..

Usually it's the lid switch..When you open the lip look straight down usually..When you close the lid it inserts a small plastic piece that goes into the hole telling the washer the lids down..If it broke it will make the washer stop mid cycle..You can stick a wooden (only made of wood) into the hole and sometimes it will start to work..Then you know that's the problem and just get your model number of the washer and replace it..Hope this helps

You start with under the agitator, then the filter, then the pump, then the hoses at the base of the drum and then everything else. Then you find nothing and remember you took it out of your pocket and put it in........ ..
