You have a bad lid switch . Try inserting something into the hole on the top and see if that starts the machine in drain/spin . If not , still bad lid switch . If so , tells you still bad lid switch .

The washer will not spin with water in it. Looks like a drain blockageis the issue, remove the drain hose and put it in a bucket close to the floor as you can get it. If water flows out the machine maybe ok, Cycle the washer near the rinse and spin cycle and note if the water comes out with force? (this will tell you if the pump is working) If all of this checks out you have a plumbing issue in the wall to sort out.

Kenmore Washer 70 series Model #110.22722100 won't spin

Check door switch: If the lid switch is bad it will not drain or spin. Try this test: With lid open let it finish wash cycle. Press lid switch down with screwdriver. Washer should begin draining. Release switch. Motor should stop. Press switch a second time. Washer should start spinning as it continues to drain. If motor doesn't come on while lid switch is pressed, replace the switch. OR

Kenmore 70 Series Washer

The lid switch is bad . You can either replace it , or bypass it under the control panel . Try putting a pencil down into the hole on the top where the lid actuator goes into to see if it drains and spins .

Kenmore 20722990 series 70 will not drain

I have the same problem right now. I found a dime in the discharge but it still does it. I am going at it from the front side of the pump now. I need disassembly instructions for the upper sections to get to it. It was really nasty dirty and stinks.
