A Kenmore washer in Canton wasn’t completing its spin cycle. The customer reported the spin cycle isn’t working, leaving clothes soaked after wash cycles. Our diagnosis revealed a stored fault code for basket speed that required recalibration.
The Problem
The customer called because their Kenmore washer’s spin cycle isn’t working. This left laundry sitting wet in the tub instead of spinning out excess water properly.
Diagnosis
The washer had a stored fault code for basket speed. During testing, it operated correctly in manual test mode and the speed sensor was working correctly. This indicated the control system needed recalibration rather than component replacement.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: No parts needed
- Work performed: Recalibrated the washer’s speed sensor system
- Result: Washer now operates correctly with proper spin cycle function
Is It Worth Repairing?
Kenmore washers are generally reliable machines, and this repair required no parts — just recalibration. When a washer can be restored to full function without component replacement, it’s definitely worth the repair cost versus buying new.
Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Washers
- Keep loads balanced to prevent strain on the speed sensor and drive system
- Clean the washer tub monthly with a washer cleaner to prevent buildup that can affect sensors
- Check and clear the drain filter regularly to maintain proper water flow during spin cycles
