Fixed! Kenmore Washer won’t agitate and drain water

Your washing machine worked as usual - it filled water in, started a wash cycle ... and then you found that the washer stacked. The washing cycle remains incomplete, the drum does not agitate. You are shocked, confused and have no clue what to do now. First, calm down. Then, unplug the cord of the washing machine from the outlet and drain the water using a drain filter (it is located in a small hatch in the lower part of the front panel), take out the laundry and try to understand at what moment the drum stopped rotating. ​​Try dividing the laundry into two parts and starting the wash with fewer items. Perhaps there is no breakdown, and you just overloaded the machine. Modern units have built-in weight sensors and refuse to work with an "over-normal" load. In this case, the most "advanced" models give an error on the display. If there is no screen, then the machine simply remains stationary. In short, if the washing machine starts up with less laundry, you can relax: nothing is broken. Note please that it is better not to wash all items in one go. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations, and your Kenmore washer will serve faithfully for many years. If this hint doesn’t help, it means that some part is out of order. If your washer won’t agitate but spins, a broken agitator may be to blame. The agitator is the centerpiece in a top load washer that agitates and moves the clothes through the water during the wash cycle. The output shaft of the transmission is splined to the agitator to secure it in place. Over time, some of the components of the agitator can wear down or break with normal usage, causing your washing machine not to have an agitating issue. If everything else seems to be in working order, replace the agitator to fix the problem.
