UPDATE - NFT: Kenmore 400 washing machine problem
 

I'm having a problem with my washer and was hoping someone here might recognize the issue and advise me as to what part needs replacing.

Dynamite and a credit card will fix you right up

Have you tried filling the drum with antifreeze?

Check your washer host connections and make sure you are getting water

is there water sitting in the tub currently? maybe it needs to spin and discharge the water thats currently in the tub?

have you tried unplugging it for a bit and plugging it back in or flipping breakers?

or replace the capacitor / startup switch

I can make the washer fill and drain water no issues. Just can't get it to go into the wash cycle.

I've unplugged/plugged back in several times. Same with the breaker.

Tub fills and drains no issue. Just can't get the wash cycle to kick on. I'll watch the video now. Thanks!

Try selling it via PayPal.

readers digests' fix it yourself manual saved me hundreds of dollars during my home owner years. just checked... and newer editions of it are readily available. you will most likely need a basic volt/amp meter to tackle appliances.

I heard that Latoshia Imes has an extra $550. You should sell it to her.

possible lid switch has gone bad. see youtube bad lid switch. also see bypass lid switch to check it.

My wife has a habit of letting the lid slam down closing. the switch has a plastic housing that easily separates and doesn't allow it to switch on anymore.

I have no mechanical skills, but if you want some trivia I can tell you that Richard Petty is the only four-time winner of the Kenmore 400.

My wife bought a speed queen or something and I was like WTF is that. Machine is kick ass. Apparently they build commercial washers and dryers.

Those are the ones in laundry mats so they last forever. I have a set of LG's, front loading washer, pretty happy with them.
