Kenmore Washer Repair – North Canton, OH (110.24822200)

A Kenmore washer in North Canton wasn’t draining or spinning, leaving water sitting in the tub after wash cycles. The machine would fill and wash normally, but stopped functioning during the drain and spin phases. We diagnosed a failed lid switch that was preventing the washer from advancing through its full cycle.

The Problem

The customer reported water sitting in tub, not draining. The washer would complete the fill and wash portions of the cycle but wouldn’t drain the water or spin the clothes dry.

Diagnosis

The lid switch on the wash machine had failed. This safety component prevents the washer from draining or spinning when the lid is open, but when it malfunctions, it can block these functions even with the lid properly closed.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 3949247V-SWITCH — lid switch assembly
• Work performed: Installed new lid switch
• Result: Washer is operating correctly through all cycles

Is It Worth Repairing?

Kenmore washers from this era are generally reliable machines worth repairing, especially for common issues like lid switch failures. This model uses standard Whirlpool components that are readily available and reasonably priced. A lid switch replacement is a straightforward repair that can extend the washer’s life significantly.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Washers

• Keep the lid area clean and check that the lid closes securely — debris around the lid strike can cause switch problems
• Use appropriate detergent amounts to prevent excessive suds that can interfere with drain cycles
• Periodically run a cleaning cycle or empty hot water wash to remove detergent buildup from internal components
