Default Kenmore washer buzzing and not spinning
Brand: Kenmore
Model Number: 10022422100
Age: 5 - 10 years

My washer started buzzing this morning. It fills up and drains the water but any cycle other than that it just buzzes. It doesn't spin at all and when I spin it around the buzzing dims a bit but that doesn't help. Does anyone have any idea what it might be and how it can be fixed. I think I'm gonna have to call someone if it's too complicated. I'm pretty good with tools but I've never done anything with this washer. Thanks

It sound like the couple between the motor and transmission has failed.

You will need to remove the cabinet of the washer to access the pump and motor to remove them.

To remove the cabinet remove the end caps on the console and take the two screws in the console out and flip the console up on it hinges.

Remove the two brassy looking clips in each corner.

Disconnect the lid switch wiring harness.

Open the washer lid and tilt the cabinet toward you and lift at the same time.

Place the cabinet out of your way.

Release the two clamps holding the pump on. You do not have to take the hoses off of the pump just swing it the side.

Remove the wiring harness on the motor.

Remove the two motor mounts.

Lower the motor and check the coupler.

here is a link to the parts of your washer model 11022422100.

Here is the coupler and the part number is PS1485646.

Default Thanks!

I actually had a guy from the city come to check my furnace for free and he checked the washer and that is exactly what it was. It cost me $40 and a half hr so i am very happy. Thank you for the reply though because now i know how to do it myself.
